So why so sad - Manic Street Preachers

Things get clear when I fell free
when whatever next comes easily
when gentle hands give life to me
when your eyes fill with tiny tears.

When I'm this still you are my life
(When I'm this still you are my life)
So at ease in the midnight sky
(So at ease in the midnight sky)
But my insides will look like war
(But my insides will look like war)
Paralysed except through my thought.

So why so sad?
You live and you love.
So why so sad?
Dependent on above
searchin' for the dead sea scrolls.
So why, so why so sad?

My smile as real as a hyena's
(My smile as real as a hyena's)
Burns an expressaway to my skull
(Burns an expressaway to my skull)
But I'll stick myself together again
spirit so low  no longer pretend.

So why so sad?
You live and you love.
So why so sad?
Dependent on above
searchin' for the dead sea scrolls.
So why, so why so sad?
