lyrics

All of the sneers from the foghorn ears
Rested so gently below
The newspaper dreams torn apart at the seams
But there's always some that we keep

Force feeding loonies parading George Clooney's
Looking so sinless and true
And they're scripting their stories in gold and in glories
To make you think you need skin too

You swore you would never turn your back
Tell me how you keep your soul intact
If you were me and I fell into you
Would I go back to loving you?

The sidewalk saviour said "I'll see you later"
But left you with cue cards that read
"If the sign's leading forwards then I could use more words
To untie this mangled old thread"

And Johnny Joe Somethin' is master of nothing
But doesn't he do it so well?
And he smiles like a thief with his honeycomb teeth
As he's swinging and ringing that bell

Eleven years later and I would still wager
On a poet still holding his pen
And who knows baby but someday maybe
I could remember back then

When the sun rose so high amongst the innocent sky
And the dirt 'neath our feet was at peace
Though the sidewalk would scream
And would crack and careen
We both knew that the shiver would cease
