lyrics

Everybody Wants to Hide

I once stared in the city of idols
I once argued with an honest man
I once danced to shack the hunger
stood still when everyone ran

once sang proudly in a choir
once bartered with the thieves
once drank wine from the offering
so drunk I couldn't see

Everyone's got crops to keep
Everyone's got money on the lie
Everyone shivers when the cold sets in
Everybody wants to hide...everybody wants to hide

I'll come home but my arms are heavy
I'm more lies than I am the truth
would you keep me around if you knew me
one day hero, next day fool

Everyone was laughing
the fabric on your dress was worn
I saw you later in the hallway
crying on the telephone

Everyone's got crops to keep
Everyone's got money on the lie
Everyone shivers when the cold sets in
Everybody wants to hide...everybody wants to hide

Storm cloud blowing over
I held my hand out to catch the rain
I was a beggar at the mission
A spark waiting on the flame

Everyone's got crops to keep
Everyone's got money on the lie
Everyone shivers when the cold sets in
Everybody wants to hide...everybody wants to hide
