Harem Scarem - I'll Be Brief lyrics

rate me

(Hess/Lesperance)

Gone incomplete

These tides of a river don't flow into the sea

And lungs that won't breathe

I've got one last little glitter of hope - a chance for air

You know, I'm gonna take five

As life passes in front of me

No guide, an eternal search for you

Finds mimes, they can but don't wanna speak

I'd cry, but being bitter would take to long

So I'll be brief

Calm and so sweet

Yet trying to deliver a jolt to knock me off my feet

When guns and bombs speak

It's time to surrender the hope

To get me on the next slow boat to Shanghai

And we'll find one good reason
