Serj Tankian - Elect The Dead Lyrics

i love the "don't you want to hold me baby" part :)

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse,
Sky is over,
Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
Behind closes eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you,
Are you at war with land
And all of its creatures,
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over,
Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,
Not even from the sun,
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun,
Don't you want me to run,
Even though you cant afford
The sky is over,
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we cant afford
The sky is over,
The sky is over us.

Probably the best song on this album

EXCELLENT ALBUM! I was BLESSED to have gotten the opportunity to see Serj touring this album with his band. I caught them in Dublin, Ireland, in a small venue, the Olympia, which was fucking brilliant, as it was so intense due to the tiny size of the concert hall! He even did a Beatles cover that night when he played "Girl", the excellent Lennon song! He sang it with such conviction, in his own inimitable way. It was the highlight of the night for me, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the "Elect The Dead" songs aswell.. I also got to meet Serj after the gig... He was kind enough to hang around and chat with his fans for nearly an hour and a half after the show... I must root out the pics from back then (2006 I think) as Serj looked INSANE on that tour! He was wearing a tophat, and kind of resembled a maniac... "Mentally unhinged circus ringmaster" is the best description I can come up for him at the time! :) Respect to all you Serj fans, from Davey in Ireland. :)
