Lyrics
0:15I'm putting your patience to the test
0:19I'm putting your body on the line for less
0:24And didn't you know there was a choice
0:29It's never yours but someone elses voice
0:36Slippin' your body through the street
0:41I'm sending your girlfriends to the night for cheat
0:46Wearing a jacket play the meat
0:50Sending a letter waved with walls so sweet
0:55And now you've heard that
0:58Waves turn to grey
1:00Life in the shade
1:02A violent cloud
1:04And that's on USA
1:07Running for the rights
1:09Sleep into the sky
1:11I'm just trying' to find
1:14A mountain I can climb
1:35I'm putting your patience to the test
1:39I'm putting your body on the line for less
1:44And didn't you know there was a choice
1:48It's never yours but someone elses voice
1:56And now you've seen that
1:57Waltz on the grey
1:58Life in the shade
2:00A violent cloud
2:03And that's on USA
2:05Born on the rise
2:07Circles in the skies
2:09I'm just tryin' to find
2:12A mountain I can climb
2:23Tell us are you gonna tell us
2:27Why do we feel so jealous
2:29Why do we feel so silent
2:31Why is it always silent
2:33（I didn't want to ask you baby
2:38I didn't want you to suffer and everybody is singing ）
2:43Why are you waiting By the door
3:01Life turns to dust
3:03And when it turns to rust
3:05Gossip is a truth
3:08（ ） lie you took
3:10And why do you look surprised
3:12Ever since I'm in the skies
3:15I'm just tryin' to find
3:17A space for you and I
I'm putting your patience to the test I'm putting your body on the line for less And didn't you know there was a choice It's never yours but someone elses voice Slippin' your body through the street I'm sending your girlfriends to the night for cheat Wearing a jacket play the meat Sending a letter waved with walls so sweet And now you've heard that Waves turn to grey Life in the shade A violent cloud And that's on USA Running for the rights Sleep into the sky I'm just trying' to find A mountain I can climb I'm putting your patience to the test I'm putting your body on the line for less And didn't you know there was a choice It's never yours but someone elses voice And now you've seen that Waltz on the grey Life in the shade A violent cloud And that's on USA Born on the rise Circles in the skies I'm just tryin' to find A mountain I can climb Tell us are you gonna tell us Why do we feel so jealous Why do we feel so silent Why is it always silent （I didn't want to ask you baby I didn't want you to suffer and everybody is singing ） Why are you waiting By the door Life turns to dust And when it turns to rust Gossip is a truth （ ） lie you took And why do you look surprised Ever since I'm in the skies I'm just tryin' to find A space for you and I
