Wallflowers - I've Been Delivered Lyrics
I could break free from theWood of a coffinIf I needBut nothins hard asGettin free from placesIve already beenIve been waste-deepIn the burnin meadowsOf my mindIn the engineIn cold decemberShootin fire from the hoseNow turn off your lightscause Im not comin hometil Im delivered for the first timeI was first-born to a paradeThat follows in rowsDown a narrow cold black riverFaceless shadowsMovin slowI would move swift whenThe sounds of a trumpet would blowIve been the puppetIve been the stringsI know the vacant face it bringsNow the bells of curfewThey may ring before Im throughBut soonIll be delivered for the first timeYou might keep cleanIn the back of an angel motorcadeIt doesnt matter who walks inYou know, the joke is still the sameYoull just wake upLike a disposable loverDecomposedIve been goneIve been rememberedIve been aliveIve been a ghostSo now, if downtown explodesIll still be on this roadtil Im delivered for the first timeI have drawn bloodFrom the necklineWhen vampires were in fashionYou know Id even learnTo cut my throatIf I thought I could fit incause i, I once heardThat you gotta learnHow to blend in to this messWhere nothins hardNothins preciousAnd nothins smooth or flawlessNow, no more amusedJust screaming to be deliveredFor the first timeNow Im 10 miles in the deepAnd mighty blue seaLooking back, towards a long white beachBurnin up into yellow flamesAnd I just wave backLike a little boy up on a ponyIn a showcause I cant fixSomething this complexAny more than I can build a roseSo just keep on letting gocause I must be closeTo being delivered for the first timeNow Id rather bleed outA long stream from being lonelyAnd feel blessedWell than drown, laying face downIn a puddle of respectI was once lostIn the corridors of the arenaIn blindfoldsIve been the bullIve been the whipI just pulled down the matadorSo now, turn on your lightscause Im comin homeIve been delivered for the first time
