A Racing heart and a foolish head
A million thoughts we left unsaid
But we'll wake up to find we're dead
One of these days...
We curse the times when things were bad
When a single word could drive us mad
We'll escape those thoughts we’ve had
One of these days...
We’ll be tripping round the park back in Ladywell Fields
Playing the guitar back in Ladywell Fields
They took away the orange lights
Replaced them with white
That's alright but tonight
Let's make another deal …
Our eyes light up like the truth occurred
It would be quite funny if it weren't absurd
If we’re lucky we’ll stumble on some perfect words
One of these days
We’ll be tripping round the park back in Ladywell Fields
Playing the guitar back in Ladywell Fields
They took away the orange lights
Replaced them with white
That's alright but tonight
Let's make another deal …
This world we see, this stench we breathe,
This pain we feel, this can’t be real, oh no
Please tell me that this isn’t real
This world we see, this stench we breathe,
This pain we feel, this can’t be real, oh no
Please tell me that this isn’t real
This can’t be real
This isn’t real
Please tell me it’s not real
The future lies in hearts not heads
The truth is all that’s left unsaid
We'll wake up to find we're dead
One of these days
We’ll be tripping round the park back in Ladywell Fields
We’ll be playing the guitar back in Ladywell Fields
We’ll be tripping round the park back in Ladywell Fields
Playing the guitar back in Ladywell Fields
We were tripping with the clouds back in Ladywell Fields
We were talking too loud back in Ladywell Fields
We were tripping with the clouds back in Ladywell Fields
We were tripping with the clouds back in Ladywell Fields
South of the river
