Gobi Blues - The Weeks

You saw a desert to the side, didn’t turn out like you’d like, no one stepped

in and stopped it

You screamed bloody murder mouths, but the words that are found they were

wretched and broken

But all the birds that traveled south stop and pick your ins and outs and then

take you to places

Some a million miles away on a park bench or a crane and you’ll have been there

at least once

Well I don’t think eyes are meant to open, cause to see the world and no doubt

must means the world is broken

Well I don’t think the tragedy is worth it, cause to build a life and let it

die means we were never perfect

And it don’t sit right with me

We were never meant to see

I watched the homeless in the street, bundled trash to collect heat

It’s a good way to stay dry

I found a troubled man in need just begging to be free and he escaped the hard

way

I broke a thousand brittle bones just to get back to my home just to turn back,

I can’t stay

I touched miles of crooked trees just to end up at the creek but it’s not here,

it’s just dust

Well I don’t think eyes are meant to open, cause to see the world and no doubt

this means the world is broken

Well I don’t think the tragedy is worth it, cause to build a life and let it

die means we were never perfect

And it don’t sit right with me

We were never meant to see

I heard a howling, holy ghost and a drunken staggered host kicked us all out,

you can’t stay

Left the clouds still at her home, glowing off beneath the sun so we can see

how this all ends

Well I don’t think eyes are meant to open, cause to see the world and no doubt

this means the world is broken

Well I don’t think the tragedy is worth it, cause to build a life and let it

die means we were never perfect

And it don’t sit right with me

Well you were never meant to see
