K-POP Lyrics Song

Ben FoldsPicture Window

They checked into the hospital
New Year's Eve
Nothing to be done about that
Rainbows, daffodils
she's not naive
Symbolism's all crap
There's a big picture
window in their room
On the ward, with a view of a
parliament hill
But the view offers more joy
than they can afford
When there's this
much pain to kill
You know what hope is
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you
Kick it's backside
Got no place in days like these
At dusk the darkness
surrenders to color
As the fireworks streak the sky
And their window gives
them the prettiest picture
Their useless luck
makes her wanna cry
Then it turns midnight
the shitty old year spent
Another Mom gives
her some sparkling wine
And she nearly gives
in to the moment
But he'll still be sick in 2009
You know what hope is
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you
Kick it's backside
Got no place in days like these
Just as she's thinking of
pulling the blind down
A rocket bursts
in front of her eyes
The city lit up London
the give it up bright crown
she tries and fails
to stop spirits rise
You know what hope is
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you
Kick it's backside
Got no place in days like these
You know what hope is
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you
Kick it's backside
Got no place in days like these
in days like these
They checked into the hospital
New Year's Eve
Nothing to be done about that
Rainbows, daffodils
she's not naive
Symbolism's all crap
There's a big picture
window in their room
On the ward, with a view of a
parliament hill
But the view offers more joy
than they can afford
When there's this
much pain to kill
You know what hope is
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you
Kick it's backside
Got no place in days like these
At dusk the darkness
surrenders to color
As the fireworks streak the sky
And their window gives
them the prettiest picture
Their useless luck
makes her wanna cry
Then it turns midnight
the shitty old year spent
Another Mom gives
her some sparkling wine
And she nearly gives
in to the moment
But he'll still be sick in 2009
You know what hope is
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you
Kick it's backside
Got no place in days like these
Just as she's thinking of
pulling the blind down
A rocket bursts
in front of her eyes
The city lit up London
the give it up bright crown
she tries and fails
to stop spirits rise
You know what hope is
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you
Kick it's backside
Got no place in days like these
You know what hope is
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you
Kick it's backside
Got no place in days like these
in days like these
