Steve Lillywhite - Pig lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, isn't it strange How we move our lives for another day? Like skipping a beat What if a great wave should wash us all away? Just thinking out loud Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing But looking at blood It's alive right now And deep and sweet within Pouring through our veins Intoxicate moving wine to tears And drinking it deep Then an evening spent dancing It's you and me... This love will open our world From the dark side we can see a glow of something bright Oh, there's much more than we see here Don't burn the day away Is this not enough? This blessed sip of life Is it not enough? Staring down at the ground Oh, then complain and pray for more from above You greedy little pig Stop, just watch your world trickle away Oh, it's your problem now It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years Just love will open our eyes Just love will put the hope in our minds Much more than we could ever know Oh, so don't burn the day away Don't burn the day away [Chorus 1] Come sister, my brother Shake up your bones, shake up your feet I'm saying open up And let the rain come pouring in Wash out this tired notion That the best is yet to come But while you're dancing on the ground Don't think of when you're gone [Chorus 2] Love, love, love, what more is there? Because we need the light of love in here Don't beat your head Dry your eyes Let the love in there There are bad times But that's okay Just look for love in it And don't burn the day away... [Verse 2] Look, here are we On this starry night, staring into space And I must say I feel as small as dust lying down here What point could there be troubling? Head down wondering what will become of me? Why concern "What" we cannot see But no reason to abandon it The time is short but that's all right Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night Take your hands from your eyes, my love All good things must come to an end some time But don't burn the day away Don't burn the day away... [Chorus 1] Come sister, my brother Shake up your bones, shake up your feet I'm saying open up And let the rain come flooding in Wash out this tired notion That the best is yet to come But while you're dancing on the ground Don't think of when you're gone [Chorus 2]
