Portugal. The Man

Who cares? What s the use of crying? Nothing
Just sink in the mud, arms waving
Airlift me off the silt flats in a bore tide
Sail to port, stand under the light
In my grandfather s contacts

If you could be strong you d insert the knife
Give me the king and I ll be your one
Find some place to hide
Where the dream survives
I m lonely, will your love be mine?
Maybe we can pretend

On standby, on standby
Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry
On standby, on standby
Stand on God, we see you coming, you ll know crime

You ll know crime
But you don t know why
You ll know crime
But you don t know why

What s the family s role when felony rules?
The killer, the cop, the creep, or the fool
On dunes where we ride
Will the dream survive?
I ll remain positive
We don t need more rules we can bend

Don t tell me the point of today s new thing
I ll hold you till the golden boomerang returns
So you could jump into the Sandy with
Me and my baby soaking in it

On standby, on standby
Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry
On standby, on standby
Stand on God, we see you coming, you ll know crime

You ll know crime
But you don t know why
You ll know crime
But you don t know why

Life forgives
But when it s gone, there it goes, my happiness
Love don t forget
But when it s gone, there it goes, my happiness

You ve been lonely long enough to know it hurts
Still sinking in industrial society
And futures were no fantasy
Close your eyes, go to a place
Like heaven in a room
Where you ve been lonely long enough to know it hurts

You ve been lonely long enough to know it hurts
Still sinking in industrial society
And futures were no fantasy
Close your eyes, go to a place
Like heaven in a room
Where you ve been lonely long enough to know it hurts
You ve been lonely long enough to know it hurts
You ve been lonely long enough to know it hurts
You ve been lonely long enough to know it hurts
