Reason 24
I like things as they are
But the forms keep changing shape
I cut the words out
Stuck them down
And hung them out to dry
I like things as they were
Put records onto tape
We wrote the words down
Sometimes wrong
And hung them on your wall
Oh, give me reason
And I'll accept your truth
I like things as they were
We'd gather in your room
We worked the chords out
Sometimes wrong
And tried to sing in tune
Oh, give me reason
And I'll accept your truth
The fears sound the alarm
October chills the bones
And we rode to the house of love
On a carpet made of stone
The tears doused the alarm
October chilled the bones
And we rode to the house of love
On a carpet made of stone
I like things as they are
I like things as they were
But the forms keep changing shape
I cut the words out
Stuck them down
And hung them out to dry
I like things as they were
Put records onto tape
We wrote the words down
Sometimes wrong
And hung them on your wall
Oh, give me reason
And I'll accept your truth
I like things as they were
We'd gather in your room
We worked the chords out
Sometimes wrong
And tried to sing in tune
Oh, give me reason
And I'll accept your truth
The fears sound the alarm
October chills the bones
And we rode to the house of love
On a carpet made of stone
The tears doused the alarm
October chilled the bones
And we rode to the house of love
On a carpet made of stone
I like things as they are
I like things as they were
