Tinder Box Songtext

von The String Cheese Incident

Marching down to City Hall, we join the light parade
Learning to untie the knot, the dawn of brighter days
In the midnight darkest dreams, the rivers will run free
All this time spent digging just to find it's buried in me

Can you hear the siren? s song
When you lie awake at night
Do you hear the siren? s song
Dream of love that? s lost and gone

You see the General on the street, he? s begging for some change
Plants his heels into the ground in this war against the sane
At home you see the banker, he? s on his way to work
Throws his change at the beggar, who? s to say what they are worth

Do they hear the siren? s song
When they lie awake at night
Do they hear the siren? s song
Dream of love that? s lost and gone

[Incomprehensible]

I hear her whisper in my ear, an old familiar tune
Reminding me to stay awake, the box might open soon
Mining for the deepest gems, you might just find you? ll start
To expose the precious diamond, lying buried in your heart

Do they hear the siren? s song
When they lie awake at night
Do they hear the siren? s song
Dream of love that? s lost and gone

Do they hear the siren? s song
When they lie awake at night
Do they hear the siren? s song
Dream of love that? s lost and gone
