 it moved him along closer to division day
it just continues...
I spent a long time living with that
never could give it a name
and when you don`t know what you`re looking at
makes it much harder to tame
mostly they`d meet when he was asleep and
have some sick exchange
that struck him as wrong 
and moved him along closer to division day

(solo)

I can`t make an exception for a bad connection 
that only goes one way
sell out for a song where I don`t belong 
with you on division day

the moon stood up on the ridge
looking down where the water shines
and a man looking over the bridge
like he`d done so many times
thinking about how to stay out
out of trouble`s way
flying to fall away from you all
it`s over division day
beautiful division day
