lyrics
A Toast to the Often Fabled Heart
So all raise your glasses!
And let's make a toast to us
For living each day
The longest we can
To the full breadth of life and limb
Cause there's a world outside
Teeming with life and shape
And despite the troubles
That I've seen
Where there is hope
There's a will and means
For as long as we breath
For every hour of every day
That stays the same
Same rent due
Same shit pay
Same faces in smokey bars
That read "VACANCY"
Chorus
We live to the beat
Of 10,000 drums
Each pounding out the tune
Of buzzing saws
We live by the verses
Of weekend poets
Belted from the edges
Into focus
A toast to us
Chorus
We live by the beat
Of 10,000 drums
Each pounding out the tune
Of buzzing saws
We live by the verses
Of weekend poets
Belted from the edge
Of screaming lungs
It's the "end of a century"
It's the shape of things to come
It's the end of a long road
Out of hell
And the coming dawn
