Things get clear when I feel free
When whatever's next comes easily
When gentle hands give life to me
When your eyes fill with tiny tears

When I'm this still you are my life
So at ease in the midnight sky
But my insides will look like war
Paralysed except through my thought

So why so sad - You live and you love
So why so sad - Dependent on above
Searchin for the Dead Sea Scrolls
So why - so why so sad

My smile as real as a hyena's
Burns an expressway to my skull
But I'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low I no longer pretend

So why so sad - You live and you love
So why so sad - Dependent on above
Searchin for the Dead Sea Scrolls
So why - so why so sad

So why so sad - You live and you love
So why so sad - Dependent on above
Searchin' for the Dead Sea Scrolls
So why - so why so sad

So why so why so sad
So why so why so sad
So why so why so sad
