The End of Things

I started out so starry-eyed Full of hope and wonder And I wore flowers in my hair Not aware I'd been defiled (Every time I see you) I know it's going down (How can I believe you) karma comes around I know this ride, you must be there by my side You going down, I must be descending I didn't want to play the song That gave people so much hope I turned my back and turned away Here's the rope that made me choke (Every time I see you) I know it's going down (How can I believe you) karma comes around You can see it in my eyes You can read it on my face You can hear it as I cry God, I hope it's not too late Can I try to make it up to you somehow? Can I try to make it up to you somehow? Now my race is finally run And as I tumble to the Sun All these dreams I can't achieve Brought me crashing to my knees My descent has now begun All the music left undone My world, it is descending --- The End of Things - Bob Mould
