A live take of Karate Chop, Silence's "Insanity"

Insanity (Live Take)

I gotta go I wanna stay I have to say I gotta leave you here
But I didn't figure it would be this hard
And to the city to the country to the other side of anywhere
I got to thinking got to wonderin' why wonder why we wander

When it's time to slip away (oh)
Wings don't fail me now
I am always gonna hear you say (oh)
Wings can't save me now

I met a man who stood alone along the rocky coast of Portugal
I said don't mind but how'd you find yourself so far from home
He said now listen son when you start to get older you will wonder
Where'd the time go where did I go
When I'm on my deathbed as I slip away will you remember

When it's time to slip away (oh)
Wings don't fail me now
I am always gonna hear you say (oh)
Wings can't save me now

When it's time to slip away (oh)
Wings don't fail me now
I am always gonna hear you say (oh)
Wings can't save me now

Wings

Just a dive bar man he
Felt his best with a drink in his hand
He'd walk around and talk about it
And proclaim himself a king
He's just like his daddy
Said his ma with her tongue in her cheek
The wife of a ghost of a man
Who only visits her in dreams

So here lies he
Who drank himself to death over a girl he didn't care for
And who knows why
Their voices tremble but no one's calling
And as they cry
They're always wishing, wishing that they could see him now
Cause a dead man's always a good man in the end
Yeah a dead man's always a good man in the end

Last night drove his truck to the river
Left a note for the woman at home
Saying I'll be home by three
If I'm not leave me be
I'll be back before you know
Fell asleep at the wheel of his Chevy
As he dreamed of a statue of gold
With his name and his face on the side
But when he woke all he had was a stone

It read here lies he
Who drank himself to death over a girl he didn't care for
And who knows why
Their voices tremble but no one's calling
And as they cry
They're always wishing, wishing that they could see him now
Cause a dead man's always a good man in the end
Yeah a dead man's always a good man in the end
