Heart of Glass (Original 12'' Instrumental Version) - Blondie

I didn't think to question the blissful truth That your intentions were all pretend and this sinking feeling's you I'm feeling exhausted, I just wanna be free To claw myself from death's front door and not let him capture me I just can't help but say That we should know better We should know better, and I I just can't help but feel like we should know better Maybe if I take back what you meant to me Just like you took my self-belief It's like a war I fight inside myself I always lose and I can't help Fall for the beating of my glass heart The beating of my glass heart I finally agree, I'm a mess I confess to the lies and my mistakes They convulse 'til they scream and cry 'Cause I feel so exhausted, I just wanna be free To drag myself from death's front door and not let him capture me Maybe I should take back what you meant to me Just like you took my self-belief It's like a war I fight inside myself I always lose and I can't help Fall for the beating of my glass heart The beating of my glass heart We should know better We should know better We should know better We should know better And if you think that saying sorry Can make it all okay Then you're the one mistaken I'll put you in your place I just can't help but say That we should know better We should know better, and I I just can't help but feel like we should know better Maybe if I take back what you meant to me Take back what you meant to me Just like you took my self-belief It's like a war I fight inside myself I always lose and I can't help Fall for the beating of my glass heart The beating of my glass heart We should know better We should know better We should know better We should know better

Let me tell you what I wish I'd known When I was young and dreamed of glory You have no control Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? President Jefferson I'll give him this, his financial system is a work of genius I couldn't undo it if I tried And I've tried Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? President Madison He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity I hate to admit it But he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us Who lives, who dies, who tells your story Every other founding fathers' story gets told Every other founding father gets to grow old And when you're gone, who remembers your name? Who keeps your flame? Who tells your story? Who tells your story? Who tells your story? (Eliza) I put myself back in the narrative (Eliza) I stop wasting time on tears I live another 50 years It's not enough (Eliza) I interview every soldier who fought by your side (She tells our story) I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings You really do write like you're running out of time I rely on Angelica While she's alive, we tell your story She is buried in Trinity Church near you When I needed her most, she was right on time And I'm still not through I ask myself, what would you do if you had more time The Lord, in his kindness He gives me what you always wanted He gives me more time I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument (She tells my story) I speak out against slavery You could have done so much more if you only had time And when my time is up, have I done enough? Will they tell your story? Oh, can I show you what I'm proudest of? (The orphanage) I established the first private orphanage in New York City (The orphanage) I help to raise hundreds of children I get to see them growing up (The orphanage) In their eyes I see you, Alexander I see you every time And when my time is up Have I done enough? Will they tell your story? Oh, I can't wait to see you again It's only a matter of time Will they tell your story? (Time) Who lives, who dies, who tells your story? (Time) Will they tell your story? (Time) Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

And I hope you find you a high rolling High rise view that you don't get in the country And I hope you find you a guy with some dollar sign eyes And a pocket full of money And it ain't that I want you to think that I hate every single little thing you do But when you say that I ain't ever gonna find nobody just like you I hope that's true Yeah, I hope that's true Oh, I hope that's true Oh, I hope that's true
