lyrics

Just another ordinary day in the ordinary sun
Lit by ordinary solar rays, beaming down on everyone
In which ordinary plans are laid and extraordinary demands are made
If an ordinary answer is here to find
The questions must first cross the ordinary mind

Are you uncomfortable here?
Sense isn't common and the common sense is fear
Appearances are not as they appear

Just another temporary way to appear to have a voice
That lends permanence to things you say
And gives decision back to choice
But the truth is, truth is borne away
'Til all the guilty parties' bones decay
If an ordinary answer is here to find
It may not make an appearance for some time

Now that the revolution's here
Our revolutionaries crawl into their holes
And peacefully surrender the controls
Our declarations seem sincere when they're declared
You keep up appearances, but I know that you're scared

The affections that are thrown away
For all the games that we've been known to play
If an ordinary answer is here to find
It is there among the days we've left behind

Now that the barriers are clear
What once was just obscured completely disappears
And the lies we tell ourselves fall on deaf ears
Painted horizons are the dawning of the real
You keep up appearances, but I know how you feel
