Govt Mule - No Celebration lyrics

In the whiskey hours

I sit mourning

But the morning brings no consolation

Sun is rising - sky is yawning

But the new day brings no celebration

No celebration

Reminds me life is hard

Here in my back yard

And I lie awake

And I stare at the sky

And my life passes by

And I lie here suffering, wondering

How long, how long

In a sea of silence

I lay wondering

But with it comes no real solution

Dreams die young

In this world of violence

Just to be betrayed by revolution-revolution

Still my life is hard here in my back yard

And I lie awake

And I stare at the sky

And my life passes by

And I lie here suffering, wondering

How long, how long

We are only the beginning here

None of us will reach the end

So hold me close like an angel

With your breath draw me in

Feel me swim through your bloodstream

Hear my voice - soft but clear

After today things will never be the same

I'm sorry for you, my dear

In a world of darkness

We are surrounded - surrounded by eternity

We reach out but no love abounds us

Guess we traded it for sanity

Meanwhile life is hard here in my back yard

And I lie awake

And I stare at the sky

And my life passes by

And I lie here suffering, wondering

How long, how long

In the whiskkey hours

I sit mourning

But the morning brings no consolation

Sun is rising - sky is yawning

But the new day brings no celebration
