Tonight I Have No Words for You
Tonight I have no words for you
Made a promise to say so much
Oh, I can only steal from you
What already belongs to us
I would like to sing a firestorm
And not some rich and soothing well
Well, all such lines are forbidden now
And it's you I cannot touch
Well, you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not go to sleep
I would like to come unmasked for you
I wanna come without a lie
It was this voice and pen I used
To make myself a man
Now if you could try and reach inside
And tear apart this sad cocoon
Oh, I will again be that moon for you
And we too will be like sand
Well, you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not
We'll go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
Checkers and chains
Well, alright
Now I ain't being cold
You know it's only that just now
Seems obvious the hands that fell
Are the hands that will soon knock down
Well, tonight I see the skyline
As the skyline lights a mountain range
Tomorrow night it just might have changed
The other way around
Well, you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not
We'll go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
Checkers and chains
Well, you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know it won't come on, come on
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
Checkers and chains
Well, alright
Made a promise to say so much
Oh, I can only steal from you
What already belongs to us
I would like to sing a firestorm
And not some rich and soothing well
Well, all such lines are forbidden now
And it's you I cannot touch
Well, you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not go to sleep
I would like to come unmasked for you
I wanna come without a lie

Well, you know that it ain't true

And I dare not, dare not
We'll go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change

Checkers and chains

Checkers and chains
Well, you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know it won't come on, come on
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
Checkers and chains
Well, alright
