You fall too hard, we're up too late
Under your wheels, the fits and starts
Publisher: A.C. NEWMAN
We hang suspended from the heights
A new empire in rags
On every wall inflections carved
The truth in one free afternoon
To tease the packs of dogs in charge
Songwriter: Carl Allan Newman
Your rights over my rights now
Under your wheels, your hopeless reign
The medicine, it still won't work
Thinking we'd leave them when we're not
You left your sorrow dangling
The truth in one free afternoon
But now it's your rights versus mine
A new empire in rags
Same thing as the other time
Gave me to save me from myself
Your rights over my rights now
But there's dangerous levels of it here
Spectacles painted with my shaking hand
We came to the right place
Mirage of loss, a few more things
The new empire in rags
Your rights over my rights now
The medicine it still won't sing
Complex notes inside the chords
Your rights over my rights now
The time to dabble in the arts
The truth in one free afternoon
Flying the flags of new empires in rags
Under your wheels, the hope of spring
The truth in one free afternoon
Until it's safer to walk here
Mirage of loss, a few more things
Your rights over my rights now
A new empire in rags
Deep as lakes and dark as stars
The truth in one free afternoon
Now it's my rights versus yours
Under your wheels, your chance is with
Under my wheels the chance is held
The truth in one free afternoon
Remember we were the volunteers
Fingers in paints, in paints we brought
Courts knew this and nothing more
It hangs in air like a school cheer
We came to the right place
Under your wheels, the hope of spring
But kid, it's always still me
The easy call, the called-off search
But there's dangerous levels of it here
