They make no mention of the beauty of decay
blue yellow pink umbrella, save it for rainy day

The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Throw your arms around the world
make love your destination

Tears For Fears', "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I can't stand this indecision
married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world.
married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world.
Why They're Nonsensical:
First Roland sings that he can't stand this indecision married with a lack of vision. Then he says everybody wants to rule the world. How can one rule the world when they don't have a vision and are indecisive about how they want to rule the world?

These hands are not my hands.
