They framed our film thru tears
We're watching fairground mirrors here
And on the cutting floor
Our stills, and dust, in years
Giving birth or giving in
I couldn't say, I can't begin - it's fear
Giving birth or giving in
I couldn't say, I can't begin - it's fear
Can't tell your story or mine
But you've told it thru time, you liar
Can't sell this snake oil as wine
But you've sold it and dined, you coward
It's showing on all screens
They've aired our fever dreams
But if we'd turn our heads
The thoughts fade black to green
Giving birth or giving in
I couldn't say, I can't begin - it's fear
Can't tell your story or mine
But you've told it thru time, you liar
Can't sell this snake oil as wine
But you've sold it and dined, you coward
