Wonderful Remark - Philosopher's Stone Version
How can you stand the silence
That pervades when we all cry?
How can you watch the violence
That erupts before your eyes?
You can even grab a hold-up
When we're hangin' oh so lose?
You don't even listen to us
When we talk it ain't no use
Leave your thoughtlessness behind you
Than you maybe begin to understand
Leave the emptiness behind you
What's the waving of your hand?
That was a wonderful remark
I had my eyes closed in the dark
I signed a million sighs
I told a million lies
To myself, to myself
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Now how can we listen to you
When we know your talk is cheap?
How can we never question
Why we give more and you keep?
How can your empty laughter
Fill a room like ours with joy?
When you're only playing with us
Like a child does with a toy?
How can we ever feel the freedom
Or the flame lit by the spark?
How can we ever come out even
When reality is stark?
That was a wonderful remark
I had my eyes closed in the dark
I signed a million signs
I told a million lies
To myself, to myself
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohw, ohw, ohw
"Listen"
How can you tell us something
Just to keep us hangin' on?
"Yeah"
Something that just don't mean nothing
When we see you, you're gone
Climbin' to some other rainbow
While we're standing outside in the cold?
Tellin' us the same sad story
Knowin' time is growin' old
Touch your world up with some color
Dream you're swingin' on a star
Face the first that had some flavor
Now you know just who you'are
That was a wonderful remark
"Yeah, he"
I had my eyes closed in the dark
I signed a million signs
"Oh yeah"
I told a million lies
To myself
Oh yeah to myself
"Yeah"
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohw, ohw, ohw
"Wonderful remark"
And that
That was a wonderful remark
"Yes, it was, right on"
I had my eyes closed in the dark
"Right on"
I signed a million signs
I told a million lies
To myself, alright
To myself
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohoohoohooohooo (ohw, ohw, ohw)
"Right on, right on"
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
Ohooohooohooo
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
"Cut lose"
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
"Cut lose, cut lose"
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
"You gotta grew"
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
"Heheheheheheheheheee"
"Cut lose, cut lose"
"Right on time"
That pervades when we all cry?
How can you watch the violence
That erupts before your eyes?
You can even grab a hold-up
When we're hangin' oh so lose?
You don't even listen to us
When we talk it ain't no use
Leave your thoughtlessness behind you
Than you maybe begin to understand
Leave the emptiness behind you
What's the waving of your hand?
That was a wonderful remark
I had my eyes closed in the dark
I signed a million sighs
I told a million lies
To myself, to myself
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Now how can we listen to you
When we know your talk is cheap?
How can we never question
Why we give more and you keep?
How can your empty laughter
Fill a room like ours with joy?

How can we ever feel the freedom
Or the flame lit by the spark?
How can we ever come out even

That was a wonderful remark

Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohw, ohw, ohw

"Wonderful remark"
And that
That was a wonderful remark
"Yes, it was, right on"
I had my eyes closed in the dark
"Right on"
I signed a million signs
I told a million lies
To myself, alright
To myself
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohw, ohw, ohw
Ohoohoohooohooo (ohw, ohw, ohw)
"Right on, right on"
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
Ohooohooohooo
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
"Cut lose"
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
"Cut lose, cut lose"
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
"You gotta grew"
(Ohw, ohw, ohw)
"Heheheheheheheheheee"
"Cut lose, cut lose"
"Right on time"
