lyrics

the demonstration's still the same
i'm keeping my thoughts to myself, anyway -
i dreamt, i think, of paradise
(it's hard to say!)

she's waiting for the door to close
lying in bed she wonders if he knows -
& in the back of her head blood's beating...

hey, don't be anxious, you'll be fine
you can always find the time -
some things happen by design

the demonstration's still the same
said the clouds to the sun to the rain...
there's nothing else in paradise
(it's hard to say)

hey, don't be faithless, you'll be fine
apocalyptic & resigned -
some things happen by design

hey! don't be anxious, you'll be fine
you can always find the time -
some things happen by design.
