Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance (Live At The Apple Store) lyrics

rate me

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal<br />

<br />

Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel<br />

<br />

My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up<br />

<br />

And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white<br />

<br />

They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and Iam gone<br />

<br />

Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger<br />

<br />

And I realize that empty words are not enough<br />

<br />

I'm left here with the question of just<br />

<br />

What have I to show except the promises I never kept?<br />

<br />

I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets<br />

<br />

I hope that I will never let you down<br />

<br />

I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound<br />

<br />

Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares<br />

<br />

It gets me down but i'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that there's<br />

<br />

A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have<br />

<br />

There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it<br />

<br />

I hope that I will never let you down<br />

<br />

I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound<br />

<br />

Rhetoric can't raise the dead<br />

<br />

I'm sick of always talking when there's no change<br />

<br />

Rhetoric can't raise the dead<br />

<br />

I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow<br />

<br />

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal<br />

<br />

Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel<br />

<br />

My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the<br />

<br />

Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands<br />

<br />

They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance<br />

<br />

I hope that i will never let you down<br />

<br />

I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound<br />

<br />

Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound
