Here comes your song Songtext
von Ruth Theodore

They′re eyeing me these hammers and strings
Like 'well where the hell have you been?′
And last night I had a dream that I was making a machine
That it was really something
And a surge of adrenaline
Comes kicking in

'Cause here comes your song
Here comes your song
Here comes your song
Here comes your song

And the good thing about this song
Is there's very little it relies upon
This one′s fresh out the factory
Doesn′t take battery
No this song radiates like it was infrared
And automatically plays itself inside of your actual head
Whenever you're alone and feeling blue
So right on cue


Here comes your song
Here comes your song
Here comes your song
Here comes your song

And it′s conducted to lift you to ground you
Instructed to wrap itself around you
To lift you to ground you
Instructed to wrap itself around you

'Cause I wish I could have been
That extra skin
Wish I could have fought back the unkindness
And kept it from going in
Easier than knowing all I can do
Is hold you
Somewhere in the future that′s somewhere in the background
As the past engulfs you
And along that old mistrust holds strong
Sitting right there on your shoulder waiting to say
"I told you she'd go wrong"


But you see a song is a string of events
That must be enacted in sequence
Fall roughly at the right time and in the right place
Or risk an irretrievable fall from grace
See even a sound wave has a void to face
′cause between the notes there's always the space
In which ten untrained fingers take ten little leaps of faith
... or is it eight?
Between the black and the white there is always the grey
And I don't suppose I′m gonna play this right
But I′m gonna play it anyway
'Cause it′s like we say 'it′s them not you that was the weaker'
And I′m willing to bet they're not perfect either
So what d'you say we give this all the middle finger?
And you march yourself right up to that speaker and you go get ′em
And that′s right darlin yeah you tell em

That here comes your song
That here comes your song
That here comes your song
That here comes your song
That its your name it's calling
And it wants to dance with you ′til morning

Here comes your
Here comes your song!

And its programmed to keep you from falling
And it wants to dance with you 'til morning

See what i′m trying to say is that I've got you
But if you′re wanna worry yourself away
Then I can't stop you
But incase you forget I've built this to remind you
And incase you lose yourself in the dark
I′ve built this to find you

So when you′ve punished yourself for everything you ever did
And set fire in your head to all the hopes you had but hid
When you were just a kid
To everything and everyone you ever loved but left
In your quest to go quietly missing
Presumed dead I guess
And when you're finally satisfied that you′re barely alive
And you're left to quietly slip away
Safe in the knowledge that everybody else was saved
And here in this hell only you and the pain must remain
Lying there entangled like a pair of rags in the rain
And that′s how it ends
That's the story of you as fate intends
And it′s all going perfectly to plan

Except from that strange sound you can hear
Just above the ringing in your ears
There it is again shifting rippling raising up like a mast
A deliberate sound like footsteps on glass
And there bold as brass and clutching this message
Undeterred it emerges from the wreckage and says

"I'm looking for Alison. Has anybody seen Alison?
I'm looking for Alison. Has anybody seen Alison?
I′m looking for Alison. Does anybody know Alison?"

And in disbelief you raise your head a fraction from the curb
To watch it offer you the love you′d told yourself you didn't deserve
And maybe that′s when you'll remember me lying here next to you
Wishing I could just shake you and shake you and break through
That shatter proof glass you keep me behind
Go back in time and give those mother fuckers a piece of my mind
But I know I can′t and I know you won't
And it just lifts you up to a kind of chest
For you to rest your your head upon
And you ask it "who are you? what planet are you from?"
And it says "Oh you know me Alison. Come on
I′m your song! I'm your song! Yeah I'm your
Yeah I′m your song
And now that i′ve found you. I'm gonna wrap myself around you"
