Calliope Lyrics

It's tough to believe when all you retrieve's not all you hid

Sneak into the city at night and look around for all you hear

You heard chants and then a choir began to pull you in

And you made it through the silence. It got slow

I came out for a reason, so I am believing all I hear

Reach into the sea tonight, look around and try to swim

And you can't be what you like and never notice when

Your laziness gets tired and it gets slow

Whoa-Oh-OH

And if I'm wild about a lovely lady

Could I get back every line and when you switch me on

You see lately yeah I've been fine, and I don't have to fake it

But still I have to say I'm wrong just to get along

So then I lay here in the fire with that flaming sword

And put back every little ladder we stepped on

And I've only got time I waited in line but nobody's bitin'

You see laying here's fine and change would be nice, but nobody's tryin'

Recant, return, move along

Reach in, sink in, switch that all

And you can't be what you like and never notice if

Your laziness gets tired or it gets slow

And if I'm wowed about a lovely lady

Could I get back every line and then you switch me on

You see lately yeah I've been fine, and I don't have to fake it

Still I have to say goodbye just to see you go

And then I laid here in the fire with that flaming sword

To get back every little ladder that we stepped off

So I owe you some wine

I waited in line

It does not seem right that everyone's buyin'

And lately you'll find us safely resigned

Still nobody's cryin'

Everyone's tryin'

Go roll it back to the city, when the lights seem to have dulled

Now all your old friends, well they came and went, but your wife, she's waitin' at home

Still you made it out tonight

And I could not ask to leave yet

The time it will not erode

The moment it did, boredom leaned against the entire trip you were on

So you turned to your right and it seemed safe to look on

Go get trashed in the city

In a line so you can get home

All the telephone kids started losing friends, it's a sign that you're gettin' old

Still you made it out tonight

And I could not ask to leave it

When the time it will not erode

And the moment it did, bought a lien against the entire trip we were owed

So you turned out to the right when it seemed safe to look on
