Splendid Isolation Lyrics

INTRO: D Db B Db
VERSE:
He's thinking of the hungry rats
Inside his stomach and he knows that
Nothing ever changes anyway
He can see himself there
He knows that look, it's called despair
His father taught him to wear it well
So he put his ear to the door of his youth
And he heard a groundswell of remorse now
CHORUS:
There's no splendid isolation
For the abandoned generation
It gets hard
to maintain
When the brightest of shells
Weather and fade anyway
Do what you can before it's too late
BRIDGE:
Bm G F#m OPEN
F#m Bm G F#m Bm OPEN G F#m
I spent a lifetime searching with tired eyes
Bm OPEN G F#m Bm
I had the best intentions but they went away*
END ON: Bm
