The tents go up As i go down Down to the flats and into the sound The closer i get to the city The further i am from memory In the green grass looking up For the words of the angry sun 'Noone' when he says 'noone' Yeah he means 'noone' Noone Noone will survive Ash wednesday alive No soldier no lover No father no mother Not a lonely child In the up and in the bedroom A black and white of the bride and the groon Will bring me to my knees With the colorized bad dream That takes its place on Ash wednesday White noise and love Will be my only drug On this day nine Suns away From that sad sad saturday When fire my friend Fire my villian You take away yesterday To give to me today When nothing's free no now it's Ash wednesday So each day is ash wednesday All this life is ash wednesday All the doors are shut And the windows barely opened up The fires all around It's the ending of the drought And we are ready now For tear gas clouds On my mind Come on fill the house Finally and weep For it's king and queen sleep Both now In the arms of Ash wednesday Ash wednesday
