lyrics

Well it matters when you’re looking through a dead man’s eyeballs
But then you’re not the only one who shut the whole thing down
You been chewing on a hand grenade
The stars are too few to reach for the sky
But I’ll get yours and you’ll get mine
I hear you talking to me but I’m miles & miles & miles & miles away
Are you ready to go? The bags in the snow the docks filled with crows
That’s how the wind blows
Stare up at the ceiling it’s gonna be a long cold night
Try to find the words there’s so much to

Say there’s so very much that I want to say
In complicated ways
Listen to the trumpets play la la la la

You’re a bell ringer sleeping in a sack
I’m never coming back
The taverns and the basements
Floating like a bag of bricks
You’re stuck in ‘96 its not the same old song
You let your teeth grow long


The moon has found us lately
Floating in a coat of plastic
But then I’m not the only one to shut the whole thing down
Try to find the words there’s so much to

Say there’s so very much that I want to say
The words are in the way
Tuning up the violin la la la la

I’m a bell ringer sleeping in a sack
I’m never coming back
Twisting like a tree trunk
Close enough to eye the sun
The next is yet to come I think I’ve had enough
I hope you’ve had your fun
