Fertile Crescent

Some senseless act of beauty
 Knocking at your heart's door
 You wish you could open
 But your heart, your heart is too damn sore
 There was a place and there was a time
 You had your hopes and your dreams and your life
 But all of that changed one night and you wish
 And you wish and you wish that you could feel
 Pain that sneaks around in your room
 Whenever she's around
 And you thought you had the answers
 But you're just too young, your feet not on the ground
 There was a place and there was a time
 When all that you thought was of your lonely life
 Pray that it changed one night and you wish
 And you wish and you wish that you could feel
 Time to fly, no time to run away
 You've got to tear this wall down
 The world's outside the line
 Before it's too late
 Yeah, you'll find another way, you've got to pay the piper
 You know he'll raise his rates
 And you'll travel down this lonely road forever
 Beneath this fertile crescent moon
 Time to fly, no time to run away
 You've got to tear this wall down
 The world's outside the line
 Before it's too late
 Yeah, you'll find another way, you've got to pay the piper
 You know he'll raise his rates
 And you'll travel down this lonely road forever
 Beneath this fertile crescent moon
 Like the trample of weary feet
 Across your worn out soul
 An emptiness that surrounds your heart
 Hidden by your smiles while you play the role
 There was a place and there was a time
 When you first felt your heart and your soul start to die
 Watched the stars one night and you wish
 And you wish and you wish that you could feel
 Time to fly, no time to run away
 You've got to tear this wall down
 The world's outside the line
 Before it's too late
 Yeah, you'll find another way, you've got to pay the piper
 You know he'll raise his rates
 And you'll travel down this lonely road forever
 Beneath this fertile crescent moon
