Never the Twain - Harry Manx

Well those who know don’t say

And those who say don’t know

You can travel only so far

Till there’s nowhere left to go

When the world’s a race track

Yeah and you’re a snail

Did love walk by and leave you

Weak and pale?

Wiser men than you and I have failed

So what if the one who stands out

Is the one who gets nailed?

Wiser men than you and I have failed

Some folks wish they could live in some kingdom of truth

They’re watching time with the saints and sinners and the saddhus

Here in a world of bright promises all come and gone, all come and gone

It’s better to light one candle before your day is done

Fools are all ears, but hear nothing that’s being said

Man bites dogma and the battles rage inside his head

The fearful unite and try to own your world, oh it’s true

But love and you don’t care a lick about what they do

Wiser men than you and I have failed

So what if the one who stands out

Is the one who gets nailed?

Wiser men than you and I have failed

Wiser men than you and I have failed

Wiser men than you and I have failed
