lyrics

(1, 2... 1, 2)
Shortcut dot com get me thru this
life a little quicker
Transport me from the me that's scaring Me
Guarantee my credit in the afterlife and after
Just drudging thru existence now it seems

That I can't do anything
I can't be anything at all
If I don't go anywhere but here
Here in the faraway you seem
So very real
As twilight fades, stars reveal
A shadow of your heart

yeah, all right, yeah!

Shut my mouth and shudder
At the thought that you fell over
With that cross that saves me from my schemes
Lala, Halala, Ha!
Cyber Jesus save me as I'm only growing older
And all prescriptions take me from my dreams

And I can't do anything
I can't be anything at all
If I don't go anywhere but here
Here in the faraway you seem
So very real
As twilight fades, stars reveal
A shadow of your heart
A shadow of your heart
You are Holy
Save me From myself

I can't do anything
I can't be anything at all
If I don't go anywhere but here
Here in the faraway you seem
So very real
As twlight fades, stars reveal
A shadow of your heart

Yeah! Wooh! Oh!
A shadow of your heart
