Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles that are made in China
Through the bright prosaic malls
And the corridors that go on and on and on
[Verse 2]
Are we blind, can we see
We are one, incomplete
Are we blind, in the shade
Waiting for lightning to be saved, yeah
[Verse 3]
'Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again, again, again
[Verse 4]
Will those feet in modern times
Understand this world's affliction
Recognize the righteous anger
Understand this world's addiction
[Verse 5]
I was blind, couldn't see
What was here in me
I was blind, insecure
Felt like the road was way too long, yeah
[Verse 6]
'Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
[Verse 7]
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again, again
[Verse 8]
'Cause love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that you're feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
[Verse 9]
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again, again, again
[Verse 10]
Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles that are made in China
Will those feet in modern times
See the bright prosaic malls
[Verse 11]
Will those feet in modern times
Recognize the heavy burden
Will those feet in modern times
Pardon me for my sins
[Verse 12]
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again, again, again
