lyrics

All your friends are faceless now?
Well my girlfriend seems to run and hide.
And every time I see her body,
I just want to give away mine.
It's soft, it's strong, no ordinary man could leave it all behind.
But, I'm on the road, the organ grinds, I guess that means I'm on the line.

[CHORUS]
The days
go by.
They're the wrong
set of days.
The sun
don't shine
like it did
on my face.
My band
just died
but they willed me a case
of unmistaken ire.

All my truths are baseless now,
they seem to bend and flow by the hour.
I do my work with unsure grace,
like the Lone Ranger, but like a coward.
Just the other day I broke my foot just trying to stand pat.
And a baby laughed, the momma laughed too. How am I supposed to forget about that?

[CHORUS]

All the poems are tasteless now,
they're all about the way we shed our skin.
And every time I let the dogs run free,
I gotta let them back in.
You wanna see a fledgling man? You wanna see the dominoes crash down?
Well, the fog horn moans, the whistle yells, the thunder claps, and the steel drum sounds, it says:

[CHORUS]

The soapbox derby starts at 2,
you might wanna start walking towards the park.
123 skiddoo,
I'm frying up the bacon after dark.
It's moist, it's poignant, it's unlike any foreign food that I have ever know.
But it's on the floor, I want some more, she's at the door, I start to moan.

[CHORUS]

You've got the pictures that you took of me,
you rolled them up inside your welcome mat!
I been in here looking for my birth certificate for hours and hours,
but I guess I can just forget about that.
The darkness calls me over to the other side of the room.
But I'm sitting down, not getting up, and I want that chiseled on my tomb!

[CHORUS]

Sure, I trust you plenty,
but I don't want to have to trust you with my life.
I want to ask your wife to promenade with me,
but I can't ever seem to find your wife.
And now my life is in your hands, you know my secret pleasure for your Jane.
But I'm on the road, the organ is too, it's like I've got a second brain!

[CHORUS]
