The Three of Us - Streetlight Manifesto

I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends

I will never pretend

There we were, the three of us

The thief, the king and I

Finally, we were forced to see

We were equals in the night

(That Starry, starry night)

Looking down between the trees

And the town we knew we had to leave

For what it’s worth

We will walk the Earth until we find the things we seek

And the king said

I believe that I’m a non-believer now

I was a leader, but I had to leave them all

No one will ever know the things I held inside

So I let them go

Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god

I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends

I will never pretend

I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s saying I’ve sinned

I will never repent

Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa

They will not protect us

(We will fall)

They will not defend us

We’ll be left behind, we’ll be left behind

And I never give a damn about the story’s end

Or even how it all began

And the one word that I’ll seek is one that I can tell myself

And it’s a long and winding road

But if you reap the seeds you sow

You’ll see you’re really not alone

I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends

I will never pretend

I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s sayin' I’ve sinned

I will never repent

There we were, the three of us

The priest, the tramp, and I

Years ago, we had left to roam

But reunited on that night

(That starry night)

No one had to speak a word

For we all knew what the others learned:

That everything that we ever did

Was but a way to pass the time

And The Priest said:

I believe that I’m a true believer now

I was a sinner, but I came to see the light

The bum and me did not agree, but I must confess some jealousy

Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god

I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends

I will never pretend

I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s sayin' I’ve sinned

I will never repent
