Lyrics
0:06I found nothing in a back room
0:13Change the shape of the world
0:16For long enough
0:19Got the boat till as far as I could
0:27Before it could take me
0:39It was far enough
0:41Mature you said at the wrong time
0:45Broke my aging skin cause age was mine
0:51Had a field day
0:54Smelt like roses
0:58Harvesting my thoughts cos up much time
1:04When you grasped the question
1:08Did you miss the meaning
1:11When you met your challenge
1:13Did you go out fighting
1:18We will discover
1:25Ripeness twice over
1:44Sing your song
1:51Worth its weight in God gold
2:04Curse its fate
2:10When you grasped the question
2:14Did you miss the meaning
2:16When you met your challenge
2:20Did you go out fighting
2:23How will we recover
2:30Ripeness when its over
2:49I lost something in a big room
2:55Change the shape of the world
2:59For long enough
3:01When you grasped the question
3:04Did you miss the meaning
3:08When you met your challenge
3:11Did you go out fighting
3:14When you climbed on top
3:18Did you fall on shadows
3:21And clammerring off
3:24Did you fall on rainbows
3:30How will we recover
3:36Ripeness when its over
3:42How will we recover
3:49Ripeness when its over
3:52(I have )
3:55(are you the fuel for the fire)
3:58(and I over)
3:59(none of us have to inspire)
4:04(I've discovered my niche here/nietzche )
4:07I've discovered my niche here/nietzche
4:14(when should or something)
4:29(do tell me)
4:32(do you tell me what's the difference )
4:35Do tell me
4:37What's the difference
I found nothing in a back room Change the shape of the world For long enough Got the boat till as far as I could Before it could take me It was far enough Mature you said at the wrong time Broke my aging skin cause age was mine Had a field day Smelt like roses Harvesting my thoughts cos up much time When you grasped the question Did you miss the meaning When you met your challenge Did you go out fighting We will discover Ripeness twice over Sing your song Worth its weight in God gold Curse its fate When you grasped the question Did you miss the meaning When you met your challenge Did you go out fighting How will we recover Ripeness when its over I lost something in a big room Change the shape of the world For long enough When you grasped the question Did you miss the meaning When you met your challenge Did you go out fighting When you climbed on top Did you fall on shadows And clammerring off Did you fall on rainbows How will we recover Ripeness when its over How will we recover Ripeness when its over (I have ) (are you the fuel for the fire) (and I over) (none of us have to inspire) (I've discovered my niche here/nietzche ) I've discovered my niche here/nietzche (when should or something) (do tell me) (do you tell me what's the difference ) Do tell me What's the difference
