lyrics

Here he comes it’s the man himself
Standing at the corner of twelfth and main
Dancing in the shadows to the tune of this song
He is here to remind me of my rug covered stains
But I don’t care to recall

I can stand and face him like I know I should
With this whole place staring me down
For I can take a sugar pill
And tell myself that it’s god
But I think you’d tell me I’m wrong

And I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to shut you out
When I locked the doors I shut it all behind me
Left you waiting in the cold

And for one moment we lost our heads
We were lookin’ at the time on his backwards clock
He said hey we’re coming up roses
And it came as an awful shock
When I found that it was a lie

After we had said that we could never be fooled
Even though giving in can sometimes look so good
I’m left tongue tied
Drained out of my mind
From all of this apathy
