lyrics

You're armed with knowledge as the day is long,
All that time thinking about what went wrong
Is all the time in the world
Your favorite bar is so discontent
A long dream about an argument
And finally, you sleep well

Everyone I've fought aligns with everyone I've loved,
Steals the silver from the screens

You see the world through misty eyes,
Birds drown out the traffic from the power lines
And the buzzards sorta' look like swans
Let's fall in love like the hopeless knight,
Bewildered everymen, sure to ignite
Then again, I don't know what I saw. . .

'Cos the smoke's a new shape with every breath intake,
Sometimes it's a ribbon, and sometimes it's a snake
A knife-edge balance between lost and free

You tried to grow, just going round and round
But spinning leaves only make their peace when they hit the ground,
Shore to shore, like Robinson Crusoe
You followed the strongest side, but where did they all go?

Shore to shore like Robinson Crusoe,
The strongest left you with only what they know
You're almost there, the clash of cotton bells
Is a sound that you can almost hear
