In This Shirt - The Irrepressibles

I am lost in a rainbow Now our rainbow is gone Overcast by your shadow As our worlds move on In this shirt, I can be you To be near you for a while In this shirt, I can be you To be near you for a while There's a crane knocking down All these things that we were I awake in the night to Hear the engines purr There's a pain, it does ripple Through my frame, makes me lame There's a thorn in my side It's the shame, it's the prize Of you and me ever changing Moving on now, moving fast And this touch must be wanted Must become through your ask But I need Jake to tell you That I love you, it never rests And I bled everyday now For a year, for a year I did send you a note On the wind for to read Our names there together Must've fallen like the seed To the depths of the soil Buried deep in the ground On the wind, I can hear you Call my name, held the sound I am lost I am lost in a rainbow Now our rainbow is gone I am lost in a rainbow Now our rainbow is gone I am lost, I am lost I am lost, I am lost I am lost

This shirt is old and faded All the colors washed away I've had it now for more damn years Than I can count anyway I wear it beneath my jacket With the collar turned up high So old I should replace it But I'm not about to try This shirt's got silver buttons And a place upon the sleeve Where I used to set my heart up Right there where anyone could see This shirt is the one I wore to every boring high school dance Where the boys ignored the girls and we all pretended to like the band This shirt was a pillow for my head on a train through Italy This shirt was a blanket beneath the love we made in Argeles This shirt was lost for three whole days in a town near Buffalo 'Til I found the locker key in a downtown Trailways bus depot This shirt is the one I lent you And when you gave it back It had a rip inside the sleeve Where you rolled your cigarettes It was the place I put my heart now Look at where you put a tear I forgave your thoughtlessness But not the boy who put it there This shirt was the place your cat decided to give birth to five And we stayed up all night watchin' And we wept when the last one died This shirt is just an old, faded piece of cotton Shinin' like memories inside those silver buttons This shirt is a grand, old relic With a grand old history I wear it now for Sunday chores Cleanin' house and raking leaves I wear it beneath my jacket with the collar turned up high So old I should replace it But I'm not about to try

Tears of a clown My face has the tears of a clown Tears of a, of a . clown... I lay here awake, unable to dream, here in a state... Disconnected from you, oh oh! A pretentious glare, how you don't care, Oh I don't care... The Tears of a clown, falling, falling, falling, down my face, Does anybody really care... I'm just a clown, clown, clown, clown, clown, to you... I'm just a clown... (But) darling look over the moon, what do you see? Darling look over the moon, what do you see, what do you see?

When you were the age 15 They shot the arrow at you You put that arrow in Became an angel too But you were proud to be you When you made a pact with him A secret that you'd keep That you'd forget that sin Could be so warm, so free! That you could find such release. My dear Sebastian In every breath we complete The meaning of our truth The meaning of our design That I could be a son And someone's son I'd find To be the one, to be the one, man, man of mine From a boy, into a son, into the man, man of mine. E-oh e-oh, e-oh e-oh Hell' sow his seeds into mine And we will grow, And we will grow just as our bodies entwine E-oh e-oh, e-oh e-oh! We wouldn't fail but be anything else but real.

Show me your reasons to fight, The new world tonight, And I will be here by your side, So true. Because I couldn't see truth from my eyes, They blinded me with rules from when I was a child, Because all around the vain ones decide, The ways in which we live our lives. But we'll breathe, Our dreams, And we'll scream, Louder, so we'll be seen. Show me the truth that you hide, The world needs to know, That there'll be no sacrifice, The love we share has to grow. Take off that burden that persists, There'll be no miracles to make you fit. And look deep into my eyes, You'll see the truth you long to find. And we'll breath, Our dreams, And we'll scream, Louder, so we'll be seen. Show me the tears that you cry, Some problems can cut deep inside, But I believe there's ways to climb, Up out into another time. Where we'll breath Our dreams, And we'll scream Louder, so we'll be seen... Love... Is. Freedom...

When will I let go, of you That boy, and me, That boy. When will I, Let go, of you. Let go, Let go. Oh the Tide, kicks you out, to sea. Tide, the Tide, rushing over me. Rose the light, of how your gone, Now your gone. When, will I erase the face, That secret place, I can't erase. When will I, Go on, go on. Go one, go one. Go on, go on. Sad to know, of the wind tonight, Lay the sheets with the soul in mind, Be the end of the pain. Now you are gone. Oh the tide takes you out to sea, Tide, the Tide washing over me. Rose in my ending, Now you are gone. When will I let you go.
