Last Rites Songtext
von Jason Vitelli

Now we′re reading these last rites
Only for the chance
That it's our own found love
Saving us from this last dance
Throwing it all away
Shouldn′t be so hard
But it's our own found fears
Sinking us into the floorboards
Peeking out for only the reasons
We had known before
And as life passes us by
We're hoping for more to hold on to
Rivals are communicating
And keeping their tabs on our score


If I try to find you
Could I be beside you
Running all around with my lights blown out in this crowded train?
Tripping over old ladies′ suitcases
Their hot coffee spills and
Just one slip and I fall over
With no dream left to hold on to

Now we′re breathing and heaving
In our lonely cell
Our moment's passed us by
And left us prone on the floor
It was a captivating, insane game
But lost upon our own

If I try to find you
Could I be beside you?
Jumping all around, kids screaming about, I climb to my rue
But I′m caught between cars with both doors locked
The wind's freezing my tears as I fear
My time′s already over, save yourself
Save yourself to be somebody new
Be somebody new
