Will they burn you in a furnace?

Will they put you in a box?

Down in the ground where the silence grows

And your friends will tell their stories

About a man who spent his life

Sending songs out into the world

Tall ships in the wind

Venus in furs

Down the dirty stairs

Fake blood on your face

Burning in your nose

Jive baby on a Sunday night

Everybody do the jerk

Another girl, another planet

Won't you be my ladybug?

You gave me something to believe in

Something to believe in

Something to believe in

Something to believe in

Will my memory grow or fade?

Will the loops just endlessly play?

Hung up on the nights we spent with you

When you weren't there watching trees

Johnnie played 'The Power of Love'

People fell to their knees

We hoped and prayed

You gave me something to believe in

Something to believe in

Something to believe in

Something to believe in

All I see is random violence

All I need are acts of kindness

All I see are cheats and liars

All I need are actors of kindness

I've watched other dreams be demoted

To the closing credits

But in this empty space people congregate

In their minds

For all of time

You gave me something to believe in

Something to believe in

Something to believe in

Something to believe in

All I see is random violence

All I need are acts of kindness (something to believe in)

All I see are cheats and liars

All I need are actors of kindness (something to believe in)

All I see is random violence

All I need are acts of kindness

(didn't know that you'd be leaving)

All I see are cheats and liars

All I need are actors of kindness

(didn't know that you'd be leaving)
