  • smoke is rising from the houses
    people burying their dead
    i ask somebody what the time is
    but time doesn't matter to them yet

    people talking without speaking
    trying to take what they can get
    i ask you if you remember
    prospekt how could i forget


    drums
    here it comes
    don't you wish that life could be as simple
    as fish swimming 'round in a barrel when you've got the gun
    oh and i run
    here it comes
    we're just two little figures in a soup bowl
    trying to get the other kind of control
    but i wasn't one

    but here i lie
    on my own in a seperate sky
    and here i lie
    on my own in a seperate sky
    i don't wanna die
    on my own here tonight
    but here i lie
    on my own in a seperate sky Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER ANTHONY JOHN MARTIN, GUY RUPERT BERRYMAN, JONATHAN MARK BUCKLAND, WILLIAM CHAMPION

  • Justin from Roseville, CaThis was a song I felt, if it WAS finished in time, should have been placed right in the middle of the Viva La Vida album. There is something so haunting and sweeping about this song. It would have halted the VLV album and would have allowed the listener time for reflection. My favorite song of the VLV, Prospekt's March combination. A wistful, dark blue day resonates from this song. It's amazing how songs like this one can create such emotion, if in the right mood, and lift you into another world.
  • Sid from Vancover, Bcthis is a feakin awsome song!!!!!
