lyrics

Sat side by side
In sunny, sunny countryside
With vineyards below
Same old blues guitar
Same old human thoughts
Rephrased a thousand times

Gather round
For the time has come to lay him down
In the ground
Along with all that he has found

And he said it was amazing that they’d known each other so long
And he said it was amazing how his heart had turned to feel warm
But his intelligence was killing him

Placed side by side
A recipe for gentle genocide
And the olive groves
Same old condemnation
Same old lack of action
So the story goes

A concrete wall
But maybe it isn’t a prison at all
Hear the calls
Or maybe it is just gulls... gulls...

And I find it incredible that this planet can host such stages
And I find it incredible that both night and day it still rages
We need intelligence to solve this

Laying side by side
You know, cheek to cheek and eye to eye
Is comfort
What I’d give to be
And not to think
‘Cause thinking poisons me

On the hill
The ruins were captured in stills
But our bodies are so real
Can’t you feel it? Can’t you feel?

And I find you amazing – would I say it if I didn’t mean it?
Yes, I find you amazing...
But my intelligence is killing me
