I’ve Been Delivered Lyrics

I could break free from theWood of a coffinIf I needBut nothin’s hard asGettin’ free from placesI’ve already beenI’ve been waste-deepIn the burnin’ meadowsOf my mindIn the engineIn cold decemberShootin’ fire from the hoseNow turn off your lights’cause I’m not comin’ home’til I’m 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 blowI’ve been the puppetI’ve been the stringsI know the vacant face it bringsNow the bells of curfewThey may ring before I’m throughBut soonI’ll be delivered for the first timeYou might keep cleanIn the back of an angel motorcadeIt doesn’t matter who walks inYou know, the joke is still the sameYou’ll just wake upLike a disposable loverDecomposedI’ve been goneI’ve been rememberedI’ve been aliveI’ve been a ghostSo now, if downtown explodesI’ll still be on this road’til I’m delivered for the first timeI have drawn bloodFrom the necklineWhen vampires were in fashionYou know I’d even learnTo cut my throatIf I thought I could fit in’cause i, I once heardThat you gotta learnHow to blend in to this messWhere nothin’s hardNothin’s preciousAnd nothin’s smooth or flawlessNow, no more amusedJust screaming to be deliveredFor the first timeNow I’m 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 show’cause I can’t fixSomething this complexAny more than I can build a roseSo just keep on letting go’cause I must be closeTo being delivered for the first timeNow I’d 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 blindfoldsI’ve been the bullI’ve been the whipI just pulled down the matadorSo now, turn on your lights’cause I’m comin’ homeI’ve been delivered for the first timeWallflowers - I’ve Been Delivered - http://motolyrics.com/wallflowers/i-ve-been-delivered-lyrics.html
