From the recording Songs in the Key of (E)nnui
Lyrics
VERSE 1
Neurotic in New York, toned down in Tokyo
Parsing your words, just want a simple yes or no
I'm not saying we're gonna die
No, the stakes were never that high
CHORUS
I could say we never made it, in the drama I created
Crusaders call from the skies
I could say we never faded, that you just turned gray and jaded
Still wearing a disguise
VERSE 2
Strung out in Seattle
Hell’s Kitchen ghosts and bones
Skeletons in the closet
Haunting houses we call home
CHORUS
I could say we never made it, in the drama I created
Crusaders call from the skies
I could say we never faded, that you just turned gray and jaded
Still wearing a disguise
(Instrumental – "Crusaders fly, crusaders fly...")
VERSE 3
Passing in New York
Passing through Tokyo
I'm not saying we're gonna die
No, the stakes were never that high
CHORUS (Repeat)
I could say we never made it, in the drama I created
Crusaders call from the skies
I could say we never faded, that you just turned gray and jaded
Still wearing a disguise
