Lyrics
tied this letter to a red balloon
Tied this letter to a red balloon
flew this letter off across the rooves
Flew this letter off across the rooves
along with all the plans i made
Along with all the plans I made
over crippled cranes and twisted steel
Over crippled cranes and twisted steel
deadlines overgrown and missing wheels
Deadlines overgrown and missing wheels
a 'told you so' communique
A 'told you so' communique
told you so
Told you so
the biggest of mistakes can be forgiven
The biggest of mistakes can be forgiven
but a snowball of little white lies will crush your house
But a snowball of little white lies will crush your house
from the razor wire an oily rag
From the razor wire an oily rag
and it's what you made the nation's flag
And it's what you made the nation's flag
pray you never sleep again
Pray you never sleep again
oh and laughable the crying shame
Oh, and laughable the crying shame
oh the mark i made against your name
Oh, the mark I made against your name
i hope this finds you less than sane
I hope this finds you less than sane
told you so
Told you so
for you to think that history's rewritten
For you to think that history's rewritten
you'd have to think the dead will be forgotten
You'd have to think the dead will be forgotten
your snowball of little white lies has crushed our house
Your snowball of little white lies has crushed our house
when the pills you take
When the pills you take
no longer help you
No longer help you
fading in your garden chair
Fading in your garden chair
a hundred and two
A hundred and two
you'll see the light dim
You'll see the light dim
you'll lose the birdsong
You'll lose the birdsong
you'll hear the voices you've been holding off for so long
You'll hear the voices you've been holding off for so long
buzzing 'round you
Buzzing 'round you
and then a hurricane
And then a hurricane
a hundred thousand souls
A hundred thousand souls
and every one in pain
And every one in pain
they'll come and visit you
They'll come and visit you
we'll come and visit you
We'll come and visit you
never sleep again
Never sleep again
