"I'll Be Around" lyrics

Yes, I'm only a man
Judgements of something ancient
Clocking my time as finished
The same is all replacements
Ignorance is complacency
Why I am purposely faded
No stand, no sit, no stopping
Ripping through the neon prophecies
Got let off by a ticket stub
My time is fading fast
Through your mouth and out your

(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
Come down
(You oughta wash your hands and pray)
For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)
Pass it round
(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
For now
(You promise that you'll come around?)
I'll be around

So I fear, but I don't know what it is
So I want, but I pretend I don't need
So is the pain of the stop of a lover’s kiss
I throw my pages all away like shaking wrists

So shake me down
Shake me up (shake me down, shake me down) [x2]
So shake me up

(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
Hey now
(You oughta wash your hands and pray)
For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)
Pass it round
(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
Come down
(You promise that you'll come around?)
I'll be around

I tell me it ain't hard
As I hold my breath big and wide
Tell me to my beating heart
That I know for sure
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
Better than I can know for sure
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
What is real
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
My mistakes bend like purple metal
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
I never know just what will come
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
Some place our hands bind together
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
River and me children
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
Longer than a trillion
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
Get what I am given, forever
(Shake me up, shake me down, shake me down)
(So shake me up)

(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
Come down
(You oughta wash your hands and pray)
For what?
(Shaking hands, swapping dirty blood)
Pass it round
(You never do what you say)
Say what?
(Shine till the sun comes up)
For now
(You promise that you'll come around?)
