Where The Twain Shall Meet Lyrics - Screaming Trees

All right now 

Push against the wooden table 

A sliver cut no trace of pain 

I lose it's image as it blurs away 

I feel the rope as it slowly frays 

(chorus) 

You never know where the twain shall meet 

You never know which one stays 

Keep aware of the trap that snares 

And which one stays 

Statue people move like dripping water 

It's a nail into the cracking ice 

You sleep with thoughts of a coming day 

I drag behind on a frozen chain 

(repeat chorus) 

Which one stays 

So I'm down but I don't know what way I'm going 

So very long and it doesn't matter where this has gone 

Slide a coin into the magic light machine 

Watch a story that is never free 

It takes a toll and it melds you wise 

Keeps you alone nearly all the time 

You never know where the twain shall meet 

You never know which one stays 

Keep aware of the trap that snares 

You're never gonna know which one stays 

Which one stays 

Which one stays
