To quote your paraphrase,
They’ll never let you down.
The monkey moans its broken bones,
Yet you never make a sound.
Are you Wrong? Are they right?
Do you think the light really calms a storm?
It’s too strong; it’s too great.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Words of an old wasted fool.
Eating flesh you cannot see.
No mind, no words to speak.
I can’t rate the loss I feel its cost us,
It’s far too great.
Or do I really care about it?
It’s too wrong/Are they right?
Do you think the light really calms a storm/Its too late
It’s too long to wait.
It’s too strong; it’s too great.

Let’s see who is in town.
All around leaves are turning brown.
The wind is calling things, calling things down.
I know you and you know me so lets
Smoke cigarettes, talk shit and hang around.
Home is a freedom fixed inside the self.
Yet when you break off it ensnares your heart.
I feel like calling around.
In the city at last.
Old resentments have past.
Pick pocket, backpackers, sales, stalls, rubbish on the ground.
I don’t know you and you don’t know me so lets
Hustle around, bustle around and
Home is a freedom fixed inside the self.
Yet when you break off it ensnares your heart.
Is it too late to ride our bicycles around the park?
Is it too late?
I feel like calling around.
Let’s see who is in town.
All around leaves are turning brown.
The winds calling things, calling things down.
I don’t know you and you don’t know me so lets
Whistle our way home, whistle away home.
Home is a freedom fixed inside the self.
Put your head down and it feels like
Home is a freedom fixed inside the self.
Lay your head down and it feels like
Home is a freedom fixed inside the self.
Yet when you break off it ensnares your heart.
Is it too late to ride our bicycles around the park?
Is it too late to come straight across now I found you?
To run straight across now I found you?
Don’t waste this.
Whose heart’s beating stronger?
Whose heart’s beating stronger?
Oh yeah, now I am coming around.

Pick up the spoon with your hand.
Pick up the words with your mouth and
Pick up the fear through their faith.
Now contract the disease of their hate but
Don’t waste your words, your words on me
Because I’m not listening.
Pick up the knife (twist it and turn)
With your hands.
Tell the lies (crossing your heart)
With your tongue
And share the fear (crosses that burn)
Through your faith.
Now spread the disease of your hate but
Don’t waste your words, your words on me.
Hey, you’re a liar, where’s the fire?
Can’t stop now, you’ve gone to far
And you won’t stop now I have seen your face and
I know you don’t care about your sleeping mind.
Oh but don’t waste your words, your words on me
Because I’m just not listening.

Homes to bury bones, friendships to sale away.
Feeling left out, scattered round for the birds to pick their prey.
Stay for a little while to pass the time,
Is fading fast those wasted chances were not yours or mine.
Drain your glass alas tomorrow will bring what may.
Oh Dionysus, Silenus, the wine is no good today.
Senses.
Hey you can you feel the love that comes from everyone?
No I can’t but I’ll take the love that comes from anyone.
Pills that make your head swim.
Pills to help you fall asleep is deepest when the rain is pouring down the walls.
Stare back into the past, it’s just like shattered glass.
Frail, distorted, completely useless like a fish dreaming of wet grass.
Fences.
Hey you can you feel the love that comes from everyone?
No I can’t but I’ll take the love that comes from anyone.
The walls you climb for change and the falls that taunt you.
The walls you climb from shame and the Ivy that binds you. / Release all.
The walls you climb from for change and the falls that taunt you. Release all defenses.
You can you feel the love that comes from everyone?
No I can’t but I’ll take the love that comes from anyone.
Hey you can you feel the love that comes from everyone?
No I can’t but I’ll take the love that comes from anyone.
HEY YOU CAN TAKE THE LOVE THAT COMES FROM ANYONE.

Come straight home from school and don’t you take sweets from strangers with gentle eyes but with hearts cold to the feel.
They’ll wrap words and colors around your mind,
Shading your thoughts, clouding up your sight and
Covering your face, that won’t make them go.
Do on to others, as you would have them do on to you.
Oh I love that but religions have to many restrictions and
I feel the mind should be free to roam.
Transcend all forms, meditate the soul.
It’s not just a phase. Can’t you feel the warmth?
Deep down inside it can’t be denied.
An empty mind it is not confined.
It’s free to let go.
Knowing what it means to be alone,
Far away from home.
Its like you’ve always known that this is home.
Free to let go.
And it feels like I am floating in space all around it comes.
Seas they crash in waves all around it comes.
Breeze without a sound all around it comes.
Round, around not a sound around.
Then it comes, slowly comes.
Let it wash, slowly wash over me.
