Broken like a mirror Were pieces of you and me Reflecting light fissures Trial of this century We stand at the forefront Frothing and philistine Before the sun sets you'll forget You were fashion and spring You can only be hurt by what you love Life after dance, a modern cause Before the sun sets, you'll die with your dance When they send (send, send, send) palms (palms, palms) Over twenty-nine palms (send, send, send) palms (palms, palms) She was sky at the door I wanted to see how he'd changed The walls were all there but four holes Where my painting should hang A ruin of pay per month No longer at this address We haven't done much, she said Aware of the emptiness You can only be hurt by what you love Life after dance, a modern cause Before the sun sets, you'll die with your dance When they send (send, send, send) palms (palms, palms) Over twenty-nine palms (send, send, send) palms (palms, palms) Home is the place You can never go back when you leave Guys tending the flowers While you're out pulling the weeds You can fly back to town And hang out like a ghost in a sheet But what is the point When you can no longer be seen? You can only be hurt by what you love Life after dance, a modern cause Before the sun sets, you'll be smoking again When they send (send, send, send) palms (palms, palms) Over twenty-nine palms (send, send, send) palms (palms, palms) You'll know which one to rest When they greet them with a kiss
