Wonderful Remark (Philosopher's Stone Version)

How can you stand the silence

That pervades when we all cry?

How can you watch the violence

That erupts before your eyes?

You can't even grab a hold of

When we're hanging oh so loose

You don't even listen to us

When we talk it ain't no use

Leave your thoughtlessness behind you

Then you may begin to understand

Clear the emptiness around you

With the waving of your hand

That was a wonderful remark

I had my eyes closed in the dark

I sighed a million sighs

I told a million lies

To myself

To myself

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Now how can we listen to you

When we know that your talk is cheap?

How can we never question

Why we give more and you keep?

How can your empty laughter

Fill a room like ours with joy?

When you're only playing with us

Like a child does with a toy?

How can we ever feel the freedom

Or the flame lit by the spark?

How can we ever come out even

When reality is stark?

That was a wonderful remark

I had my eyes closed in the dark

I signed a million signs

I told a million lies

To myself

To myself

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Listen

How can you tell us something

Just to keep us hanging on? (Yeah)

Something that just don't mean nothing

When we see you, you are gone

Clinging to some other rainbow

While we're standing, waiting outside in the cold

Telling us the same sad story

Knowin' time is growing old

Touch your world up with some colors

Dream you're swingin' on a star

Taste it first, then add some flavor

Now you know just who you are

That was a wonderful remark

Yeah, hey

I had my eyes closed in the dark

I sighed a million sighs, oh, yeah

I told a million lies

To myself, oh, yeah

To myself, oh, yeah

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Wonderful remark

And that

That was a wonderful remark

Yes, it was, right on

I had my eyes closed in the dark

Right on

I sighed a million sighs

I told a million lies

To myself, alright

To myself

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

(Oh, oh) Oh

Right on, right on

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(Oh, oh, oh) Ooh, oh, whoa, oh

Cut loose

Oh, oh, oh

Cut loose, cut loose

Oh, oh, oh

You gotta grow

Oh, oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Oh, oh, oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ay, ay, ay

Right on, alright, right on, right on
