Hope Is Big / Tripping up the Stairs (Live)

Happy Birthday Black song to my cancerous blood

Will you please feed me my tube

So many oceans to swim

But I lost my will to swim

Hope is big but they're always gonna win

Now I felt a cool breeze on my invalid knees

It reminded me of our kiss in the summer

Vicarious like my grandmothers kiss at Christmas

Hope is big, they're always gonna win

Hope is big, oh, it's so big

Hope is big, oh, it's so big

Yeah they're always gonna win

Now all the ashes were red

The fire trucks lost their engines

Tombstones flicker on the Fourth of July

Janitor keys jingle jangle the loneliest tunes

Hope is big but we're always gonna lose

Now you're up and you're out

In your impervious doubt

And your love won't bring us the truth

While I hear rats in the moon light

Tangled up in our fight

Hope is big, but they're always gonna win

Hope is big, oh, it's so big

Hope is big, oh, it's so big

Yeah they're always gonna win

Hope is big, oh, it's so big

Hope is big, oh, it's so big

Yeah they're always gonna win
