| There were dreams on a full moon night
|
| Big black hole in the middle of the light
|
| Painless times, yeah, we were feeling alright
|
| We were breaking down the walls
|
| Dirty little basements and electric guitars
|
| The sound of the river and the pines and the stars
|
| Drank a little too much. |
| Yeah, we took it too far
|
| Well, but most of us survived
|
| So much comin' out, there’s nothin' goin' in
|
| With your skirt above your knee and your murderous grin
|
| Oh, tell me that you’re not leaving
|
| You were standing there so literal and free
|
| Writing pretty poems and ruining me
|
| It took a little time, but baby now I see
|
| That the end is always near
|
| I was sleeping on a couch with a shivering dog
|
| Practicing my speeches and studying the law
|
| Nothing in the cupboard but a hammer and a saw
|
| And some nails to drive it home
|
| So much comin' out, there’s nothin' goin' in
|
| I could write it down, but that would be a sin
|
| And you know how I feel about sinnin'
|
| Charlie’s on stage and the roof may collapse
|
| No one seems too worried 'bout the light in the gaps
|
| Of the walls painted yellow and papered with maps
|
| That remind us it’s time to move on
|
| Pretty little city built on a hillside
|
| Music in the bars and fire in the sky
|
| We went to the beach, and it was covered in ice
|
| And I used to call it home
|
| So much comin' out, there’s nothin' goin' in
|
| I know that you feel like you’re never gonna win
|
| Aw, but the world won’t forgive a winner |
