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
