lyrics
NO TOUCH, NO HELP, NO FOOD, NO LOVE
No pain, no palm
No thorns, no crown
No gall, no glory
No cross, no crown
No touch, No help, No food, No love
What can we do
Hearts broke in two
What can you see
Look around, see me
Shut ears, shut eyes
Cold stares, white lies
Fold arms, turned heads
Fine words, empty beds
No pain, no palm
No thorns, no crown
No gall, no glory
No cross, no crown
No touch, No help, No food, No love
Close by there is
An end to all this
Please come, come soon
Bring help, kill the moon
There are some friends
Few and far, but fellow men
To find them we try
We sing out loud, we wave bye-bye
No pain, no palm
No thorns, no crown
No gall, no glory
No cross, no crown
No touch, No help, No food, No love
No wings to fly
Just us to try
All day we find
Say out loud, you’re not kind
Fall down, breathe hard
Run fast, say out loud
You’re right, we’ve been wrong
Take this heart, make a song
No pain, no palm
No thorns, no crown
No gall, no glory
No cross, no crown
No touch, No help, No food, No love
No pain, no palm
No thorns, no crown
No gall, no glory
No cross, no crown
No touch, No help, No food, No love
What can we do
Hearts broke in two
What can you see
Look around, see me
Shut ears, shut eyes
Cold stares, white lies
Fold arms, turned heads
Fine words, empty beds
No pain, no palm
No thorns, no crown
No gall, no glory
No cross, no crown
No touch, No help, No food, No love
Close by there is
An end to all this
Please come, come soon
Bring help, kill the moon
There are some friends
Few and far, but fellow men
To find them we try
We sing out loud, we wave bye-bye
No pain, no palm
No thorns, no crown
No gall, no glory
No cross, no crown
No touch, No help, No food, No love
No wings to fly
Just us to try
All day we find
Say out loud, you’re not kind
Fall down, breathe hard
Run fast, say out loud
You’re right, we’ve been wrong
Take this heart, make a song
No pain, no palm
No thorns, no crown
No gall, no glory
No cross, no crown
No touch, No help, No food, No love
