Original lyrics

EN

Silence is delivering its Monologue to the dumbstruck night Eighteen layers of paint on the house Crying so softly in this quiet Oh, I have known so many nights like this I'm on my own, I'm on my own A statue, fully-formed, in the middle of a stone I'm no excalibur, I'll get out on my own Dancing streets step on my feet I myself never learned to lead Orphan dreams growing like weeds I've got my pockets filled with seeds Oh, I have known so many nights like this I'm on my own, I'm on my own I called into the night and got a cosmic dial tone Don't try to cut it out, it goes straight to the bone All I have is a grain of sand Pressed in the precious mouth of an oyster Though it's slight, I'm up all night Who am I to find a pea under the mattress? Yet I can feel it rise It brings tears to my eyes And decorates my whole life Reel in the line Hold it up to the light I know what I've got But I don't know why They ever bite
