The Less I Know

Caught between the stars and underground I'm climbing up just to get back down My lips are moving but make no sound Don't leave me here this way Oh God, what did I do? I had nine lives now I only got two Tried to call, couldn't get through I wrote a letter, did it get to you? It said "Dear God, life ain't kind People living, people dying I'm putting all my money on hope The more I learn, the less I know" Caught between the stars and underground I'm climbing up just to get back down My lips are moving but make no sound Don't leave me here this way Let it go (You have the most amazing face) Oh no, how do you breathe? How do you love and is he a she? I got one hand taking the fifth One hand making a fist and Oh God, what do I do I said, "Oh God, I'm talking to you" The past, the future The future, the past You think you're looking forward But you're really looking back Caught between the stars and underground I'm climbing up just to get back down My lips are moving but make no sound Don't leave me here this way This is all the punches that we take This is making love and sleeping late This is all the money that we make That we save for that holiday This is standing up not backing down And this is all the tears of a clown And this is all the gold that was sold at the end of the rainbow [i]Peace These old ladies screaming Filthy liberty lady And pieces on Iraq to American Airlines Four thousand back to stateside All's coffin quiet in the cargo hold And the in-flight movie is silence Full to capacity Sadly the only frequent flier's a pilot Paris in jail on Nightline But still no body bags on primetime Stuff words in our mouth if you want But we know who helped to build this place[/i] (You have the most amazing face) [i]We love all freedom too That's why we march Why we stay New York City to San Jose Troops home now Troops home safe Time for the crime to the king and his crown Grant him a pardon Let him right out Time for the crime to the king and his crown Grant him a pardon Send in the clowns Send in the clowns, send in the clowns, send in the clowns, send in the clowns[/i] (You have the most amazing face) (You have the most amazing face) (You have the most amazing face)
