Lyrics
Hystory Mystory House
First Version Completed 2000, Revised and recorded 2003.

(Chorus)
You say we'll never, ever, ever, leave here
At least until we both fall apart
You say we'll never, ever, ever be here
At least until we find out we're not
 
They say the last strong man
Relied on himself - He said,
"Trusting in others
is bad for your health."
Was he wrong?  But not wrong enough
to be anything that he wanted me to be
The last thing he said was... (chorus)
 
They say the last good man
He got on a bus
Bought a ticket to nowhere
He heard it was hot
And it was...  But not hot enough
to be everything he wanted it to be...
The last thing he heard was... (chorus)
 
They say the last great man
He went for a walk
To the side of the river
To hear himself talk
But he was... Not great enough
to be everything he thought that he could be...
The last thing he heard was... (chorus)
 
They say the last christian
He died on the cross
And they'll never convince me
It wasn't a loss
For it was... But not lost enough
to be everything he wanted me to be...
And the last thing he heard was...
 
Promise your promise you
Promised to me
We'll never leave here,
We'll never leave here
 
I wait for the morning to cling to
When I wake from the dream
I hope it was nothing to run from
But me...  Last thing I heard was...
 
We'll never leave here,
We'll never leave here
 
They say the last wise man
He lived for today
But now it's tomorrow
I hope he's okay.
