Lyrics The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy

Logic Vs Emotion

I stood upon the listed bridge

Dividing different images

Logic vs emotion

Mountain stream vs the ocean

Will we ever learn?

Logic vs emotion

Politicians carry the motion

Will we ever learn?

I'll take you upstream,

Up to my origin;

My water clear as glass,

My beauty everlasting

I was here before you—

A million years before you—

And I can only warn you

I'll be here when you're gone...

"Leave my house alone!

I won't leave my home!"

Said the old lady,

Kneeling by the riverbank, crying

"Leave our valley alone!

You're destroying our home!"

Chorus the creatures,

Watching as their paradise disappears

Under the water

I'll take you downstream,

Down where they turn me green;

I suffer the indignity

Of administering your poisons to the sea

The impurity of maturity—

Teach them all the appreciation of beauty!

I stood upon the listed bridge

Dividing different images

Logic vs emotion

A mountain stream feeding an ocean

Politicians go through the motions

Displaying such a depth of devotion

Logic vs emotion

Seems to be a lot of confusion

There is no foregone conclusion

There is no simple solution

The answer lies in your emotions—

Let them speak to you!
