Everything Is Given to Be Taken Away [Live]

so tell me what comes after The Big Sleep
does longing stop? and are you never beat anymore?
was everything given to be taken away? given to be taken away

walking by the harbour, the park
hear the foghorns calling through your dark
some time and place you couldn't name
you lost your feel for the game

you're nostalgic, before your time...

so tell me what comes after The Big Sleep
do you dream of all the drums that never beat anymore?
is everything given to be taken away?
given to be taken away, far away

the lights go out around you one by one
the crowds go home, the circus will move on
everything's given to be taken away
given to be taken away. hey, hey...

ba ba ba-ba ba, ba ba ba-ba ba

I heard of your withdrawal from the world
there's a rose that blossoms in the barrel for each lost little girl
was everything given to be taken away?
given to be taken away, far away

applause is in your bloodstream like a drug
a game of make believe with your barbiturate dolls
a time and place you can’t name, you lost your feel for the game

ba ba ba-ba ba, ba ba ba-ba ba

you think that i'm happy? i'm in the same night as you
now your ambulance rides
you're lost little girl
your ambulance rides
no one will ever take you home
lost... I’m in the same night as you

you think that i'm happy? you're nostalgic
I’m in the same night as you

there's a rose that blossoms in the barrel
you're lost little girl
Lost Little Girl
there's a rose that blossoms in the barrel
for the lost, for the lost, for the lost

i'm in the same night as you
i'm in the same night as you
everything's given to be taken away…
