The Base

PAUL BANKS STORELYRICSLIVEASK PAULHOME The Base What I draw today will be recognized as shape I spoke to the base, and the base says we wait So I smoke an old cigar while the giant sun fades I spoke to the base and the base says we wait The base says we’re safe Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then I feel you’re truly anesthetized that’s why… When I walk today it’s in silence and in rain Can a man turn the page while he’s trying to amaze (It ain’t nothin) So I hold my arms apart; I don’t deny you anything I spoke to the base. And the base says we’re Flynn. The base says we win Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then oh I feel those beauties this life belies They’re like street lights they tunnel on and on Into these deep nights where the heights of alarm are so steep So steep I count the falling the sounds None of these voices turn me around Above these steeps I can fly As lightning cycles over a pious night I count the falling sounds And I will not be staying long Now and then I can see the truth above the lies Now and then I can see those beauties that shun my eyes. That’s right
