On the ground a newspaper reads
The blood has spilled again
And you just dream my yellowman
Yellowman
The angels burn a torch to keep us warm
His lungs are wide awake but he won't breathe
He spits out the ocean and we dream
Like goldfish in a bowl
They think we're free
Yellowman
You're tying rocks to clouds to stay above the crowds
The angels burn a torch to keep us warm
The blood has spilled again
And you just dream
Yellowman
You never see the bloodstains on the battlefield
The angels burn a torch to keep us warm
His eyes are closed his face pale asleep On the ground a newspaper reads The blood has spilled again And you just dream my yellowman Yellowman The angels burn a torch to keep us warm His lungs are wide awake but he won't breathe He spits out the ocean and we dream Like goldfish in a bowl They think we're free Yellowman You're tying rocks to clouds to stay above the crowds The angels burn a torch to keep us warm The blood has spilled again And you just dream Yellowman You never see the bloodstains on the battlefield The angels burn a torch to keep us warm Explain Request ×
