Tonight I have no words for you
Made a promise to say so much
Oh I can only steal from you
What already belongs to us
I would like to sing a firestorm
And not some rich and soothing well
Well all such lines are forbidden now
And it's you I cannot touch
Well you know that it ain't [bad word] 
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not go to sleep
I would like [bad word] unmasked for you
I [bad word] without a lie
It was this voice and pen I used
To make myself a man
Now if you could try and reach inside
And tear apart this sad cocoon
Oh I will again be that moon for you
And we too will be like sand
Well you know that it ain't [bad word] 
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it [bad word] on
You know the [bad word] along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
Well alright
Now I ain't being cold
You know it's only that just now
Seems obvious the hands that fell
Are the hands that will soon knock down
Well tonight I see the skyline
As the skyline lights a mountain range
Tomorrow night it just might have changed
The other way around
Well you know that it ain't [bad word] 
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it [bad word] on
You know the [bad word] along
