lyrics

You have no sense of the innocence it takes to get that far
Believe what you will but there aren’t any pills you can take to see the stars
Maybe a spy in the house of a lie could emerge with a word of the truth
But you left your clothes on the floor and the war cost you more than your first tooth
Everybody’s running so slowly won’t we miss the last plane home

Take, take your time, while you win those hearts and minds
You, you’ve got what every dull knife tries to cut
Take, take your time, while you win those hearts and minds

The street were uneven, the ferry was leaving
And we’re trapped on the side of the road
The traffic was roaring, the story is boring
And we’re wearing the clothes that we sold
Inches from the precipice, save her from the rest of us
Try not to catch a cold
This is what lies in wait for you by the time you turn 30 years old

Enemies
They’ll delight you
Friends of yours
Watch them, too

Forever the effort is endless
I hope you have a parachute
Maybe you’ll learn the inelegant words
That you’ll crush beneath your boots
