This house has been smoking deep into its lungs And if these walls could talk they'd probably speak in tongues The ceiling has been soaking, rainwater on the rungs The ancient feeding on the old and old upon the young This tinyness is growing while the universe expands Heroes die their mighty deaths while villains spill their plans Someone stole the hourglass but left behind the sand Rowing down a river is a waste of two good hands We go where the current she demands Only the captain should sink with the ship but we forgot to tell the band Someone cut the string on the tin cans Any way the wind blows is the way we point our fans Spending all our currency on clams Power never retaliates it only reprimands Take me back to banging pots and pans Everybody's sitting down, why are they called the stands This elephant has been learning how to paint If it's cute it's not abuse, our tourism is at stake It's like teaching a dog how to shake It's not going anywhere and we've got all the time in the world, we can wait This tinyness is growing while the universe expands Heroes die their mighty deaths while villains spill their plans Someone stole the hourglass but left behind the sand Rowing down a river is a waste of two good hands We go where the current she demands Only the captain should sink with the ship but we forgot to tell the band Someone cut the string on the tin cans Any way the wind blows is the way we point our fans Spending all our currency on clams Power never retaliates it only reprimands Take me back to banging pots and pans Everybody's sitting down, why are they called the stands We go where the current she demands Only the captain should sink with the ship but we forgot to tell the band Someone cut the string on the tin cans Any way the wind blows is the way we point our fans Spending all our currency on clams Power never retaliates it only reprimands Take me back to banging pots and pans Everybody's sitting down, why are they called the stands

I've been running 70s down the 55 Working up the answers to the questions in my mind Pumping out the effort, putting in the time Always another mountain to climb Wrestling with imagery, practicing my lines Working out the problems that aren't solved with dollar signs As happenstance would have it I'm still trying To design chorus: Prejudicial pride Older than the tides (The b side is a remix And the Phoenix must first burn to then rise ) A collective sigh At the end of an eye for an eye A cute cliche pays a dollar a dime But who can say they haven't committed that crime Glass houses that fly into stones in the sky When the bloodthirsty and worst are the first to decide who deserves to die I won't hide what i find But i won't claim that it's right until it's primed I won't water down the wine History might not repeat but it probably rhymes chorus Mosquito bites or bile salts Laugh lines and smile faults Peer to peer injurious cults Jesus Christ or Johnny Galt

you don't have to live this way but you keep choosing so every day don't you want to be changed? or would you rather stay the same? you say you're living in a dream she tells you what she needs to see ain't she enough to make you change? or are you glad that she's away? if you went all over again would you do it any different? you don't have to be afraid if you don't want to you don't got to stay but don't you want to have some fun? and just what are you running from? if you went all over again would you do it any different? if you went all over again would you do it any different? if you went all over again would you do it any different? if you went all over again would you do it any different?
