1000 Years

Under my tongue
I carry a tune
Deep in the earth
I can hardly reach

My mind is humming and buzzing
It's numbing
When I can't
Get it to you

This melody is my carpet ride
'Cross the ocean to you and you
Reaching out to you through this tune
'Round the globe just to get it to you

We've been singing the same song
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me
And her birth sang in perfect harmony

This melody is my carpet ride
'Cross the ocean to you and you
Reaching out to you through this tune
'Round the globe just to get it to you

We've been singing the same song
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me
And her birth sang in perfect harmony

My grave will bring me there
Deep in the earth
Singing that same old melody

Before Adam
Before Eve
The lizard sang this melody
Now it's twisted
And it's torn
By felines and all you bores
Pick a pack, the troops, it's time
We've got melodies to spin
Come on, bring, leaders and men
We've got some miracles to spin

Ooooooh, ooooooh
Ahhhhh, ahhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhh

We've been singing the same song
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me
And her birth sang in perfect harmony

My grave will bring me there
Deep in the earth you'll find me
Singing that same, same, same old melody
Same old melody

My grave will bring me there

Ooooooh, ooooooh
Ahhhhh, ahhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhh
