Give In To Sadness (demo)
Neil Finn

If you have persistent pain
And you want it to end
If you can hardly explain
Lift up your head
Smoke out the agents of doom
Mirages appear in the gloom
The fear resides in you
It relies on you

Only the burden of proof
Of good times ahead
Well, first you must take out the trash
Make up the bed
And when you unravel the truth
You looked at me sideways, yet
Just like we already knew
You always knew

Give in to sadness
Show them the door
Give in to sadness
And give them no more
You know what I’m trying to say
But you do it your own way anyway
I heard your dog is gay
And his boyfriend’s black

Was it something I said
Some hopeless prayer
Your friend is a nervous wreck
And madness is everywhere
All lovers of life have a need
To let their loneliness bleed
Or so I am told
The story’s old

Give in to sadness
…
Give in to sadness
and not let it go
All lovers of life have a need
To let their loneliness bleed
Or so I am told
The story’s old
