They say, "The holy water's watered down
00:08
And this town's lost its faith
00:11
Our colors will fade eventually"
00:14
So, if our time is runnin' out
00:17
Day after day
00:20
We'll make the mundane our masterpiece
00:22
Oh my, my, oh my, my love
00:26
I take one look at you
00:32
You're takin' me out of the ordinary
00:34
I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
00:37
I'm on the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine
00:41
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
00:47
Somethin' so out of the ordinary
00:51
You got me kissin' the ground of your sanctuary
00:54
Shatter me with your touch, oh Lord, return me to dust
00:59
The angels up in the clouds are jealous knowin' we found
01:04
Hopeless hallelujah
01:09
On this side of Heaven's gate
01:14
Oh, my life, how do ya
01:18
Breathe and take my breath away?
01:23
At your altar, I will pray
01:28
You're the sculptor, I'm the clay
01:29
Oh my, my
01:32
You're takin' me out of the ordinary
01:33
I want you layin' me down 'til we're dead and buried
01:37
I'm on the edge of your knife, stayin' drunk on your vine

02:09
Whenever you're next to me
02:13
(Oh my) oh my, my
02:15
(World was in black and white) until I saw your light
02:17
I thought you had to die to find
02:22
Somethin' so out of the ordinary
02:25
I want you layin' me down ('til we're dead and buried, give it all, Lollapalooza!)

So, if our time is runnin' out
Day after day
