One time, long time,
I saw your face in mine
I ran, I came,
I stood and watched in vain
I'll walk three paces and turn around.
These are the faces of people I'm sure
Who look in rooms where it?s hard to stare
I am a ghost of what I used to be
Locked in some manhood fraternities
And when you tried to suppress my bursts
I cried only for effect and disease
Entertaining and explaining your power clause
It's so nice to be young and fussed,
amidst the dying fall.
Mother you spoil me now,
your a guest of honor now
and there's no hope
just a perfect situation for us now
I'm always deaf to silence in the crowds
They?ll shake and rattle out there
I like talking to those who always talk loud
Some Green hope and bedroom suite
This is the dying fall.
This is the dying fall
I dreamed and dreamed, a senators nightmare scheme
all gone, how sad, another locked fraternity.
Sleeping hard on the telephone.
Watch another boom and overflow
Your madness shines like cars in the rain
So let the king have his queen for today
Another song for the Lady in the radiator
She sits around on stools all day,
waiting for the dying fall
This is the dying fall
So we cried as the dying fall signed
This is mine, the irony of life
This is mine, no black heroes now
But you're old and dry
You came to see me cry
I saw your face in mine
I ran, I came,
I stood and watched in vain
I'll walk three paces and turn around.
These are the faces of people I'm sure
Who look in rooms where it?s hard to stare
I am a ghost of what I used to be
Locked in some manhood fraternities
And when you tried to suppress my bursts
I cried only for effect and disease
Entertaining and explaining your power clause
It's so nice to be young and fussed,
amidst the dying fall.

and there's no hope
