lyrics

An airy heart of disdain
would consider beauty a sin
yet righteous men can't sustain
this kind of punch to the face

whoa ooh o oh, they could eat your heart whole,
but choke upon the strength and balance your wife created

whoa ooh o oh, they would smother your soul
but your kids have your spinal cord protected

Tommy: ”I polished my nails and scratched until I bled
and found the pain unbearable, and sweet as life itself”

Leslie: ”Our lives are swollen and bruised by the fact
that our dreams were unsubstantial and corroded by ripened attacks”

requested autopsy papers reveals the office showdown
and a man on his knees

their desperate faces resembles the fall of the man
who kept their spirit afloat on the sea

the gun goes round and round
until his vocal chords produce one final plea:

“Oh, dear Leslie, please just let them go!”
“How did your fantasies and dreams all become you?”
“Oh, dear Leslie, please just let them go!”
“When your son is dead will God then be angry?”
“Oh, dear Leslie, please just let them go!”
“When your daughter is dead will my sins be forgiven?”
“Oh, dear Leslie, please just let them go!”
“When your wife is dead the angels will scream:
Tommy is dead.”

Several years ago, rehearsing in a garage, they figured writing their own music was way more awesome than playing other peoples stuff. They soon discovered that progressive songstructures suited the band well, and incorporating several styles of music was how every band member had their say. ... more
