The Witness' Dull Surprise Lyrics - Hysterical - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Oh well, the rain it never stops here 

Is it strange that I no longer see the hand in front of my face? 

Just short of longing for the past 

And short of asking for forgiveness 

You read my palm and suggested that I find a new apartment 

All of our sleepless nights came crashing through the window 

Now you know 

What it means to fly 

Now you understand 

The witness' dull surprise 

My dear, just show me where it hurts 

And I'll draw blood to make it better, 

I will do anything. 

Turns out the man with all the answers 

Wrote from within the asylum 

And I guess we should have figured as his poems contained no letters 

He wrote, "All of my sleepless nights came crashing through the window." 

Now you know 

What it means to fly 

Now you understand 

With the tears and old acquaintances and waiting for the pulse to quicken, 

waiting for the day when things turn out as you had imagined, the wait 

And I had only just begun to speak with my broken memory 

Oh well, the rain it never stops here 

Is it strange that I no longer see the palm in front of my face?
