Watchin' war made us immune
I need somethin' to believe in
The way you keep the world at bay for me
Burnin' fumes of gasoline
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
The way you keep the world at bay

Paralyze my mind
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
And I come to find a refuge
And everyone is runnin'

Messages and mis-perceptions

Monkeys on the barricades
And anger plays on every station
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
The easy silence that you make for me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
In the easy silence that you make for me
Children lose their youth too soon
The easy silence that you make for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
Answers only make more questions
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
Are warning us to back away
They form commissions tryin' to find
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
The way you keep the world at bay
But I just want to hold on to
The next one they can crucify

Buses, cars and airplanes leaving
And the peaceful quiet you create for me

Breathe in sanctuary
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
In the easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
The way you keep the world at bay
And I've got all the world to lose
