[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:09.71]I have a friend he's mostly made of pain
[00:13.52]He wakes up drives to work
[00:14.89]And then straight back home again
[00:18.51]He once cut one of my nightmares out of paper
[00:22.57]I thought it was beautiful I put it on a record cover
[00:27.51]And I tried to tell him he had a sense of color
[00:32.20]And composition so magnificent
[00:35.57]And he said "Thank you please but your flattery is truly not becoming me
[00:42.19]Your eyes are poor You are blind
[00:44.44]You see no beauty could have come from me
[00:48.62]I am a waste of breath of space of time "
[00:58.91]I knew a woman she was dignified and true
[01:02.84]Her love for her man was one of her many virtues
[01:07.96]Until one day she found out that he had lied
[01:11.95]And she decided the rest of her life
[01:13.76]From that point on would be a lie
[01:17.19]But she was grateful for everything that had happened
[01:21.87]And she was anxious for all that would come next
[01:25.99]But then she wept
[01:27.55]What did you expect In that big
[01:29.61]Old house with the cars she kept
[01:31.86]"Oh " and "such is life " she often said With one day leading to the next
[01:38.10]You get a little closer to your death which was fine with her
[01:42.34]She never got upset and with all the days she may have left
[01:47.09]She would never clean another mess or fold his shirts or look her best
[01:54.33]She was free to waste away alone
[02:05.56]Last night my brother he got drunk and drove
[02:09.49]And this cop pulled him off to the side of the road
[02:13.61]And he said "Officer Officer You have got the wrong man
[02:18.13]No no I'm a student of medicine
[02:19.81]The son of a banker you don't understand "
[02:23.68]The cop said "No one got hurt
[02:25.12]You should be thankful And your carelessness
[02:28.93]It is something awful And no
[02:33.36]I can't just let you go And though your father's name is known
[02:38.10]Your decisions now are yours alone
[02:41.34]You're nothing but a stepping stone
[02:45.15]On a path to debt to loss to shame "
[02:57.94]The last few months I have been living with this couple
[03:02.12]Yeah you know the kind who buy everything in doubles
[03:07.12]They fit together like a puzzle
[03:11.48]And I love their love and I am thankful that someone actually
[03:16.88]Receives the prize that was promised by all those fairy tales that drugged us
[03:24.80]And they still do me I'm sick lonely no laurel tree just green envy
[03:30.42]Will my number come up eventually
[03:33.67]Like Love is some kind of lottery
[03:36.53]Where you can scratch and see what is underneath It's "Sorry"
[03:43.34]Just one cherry "Play Again " Get lucky
[03:53.01]So I have been hanging out down by the train's depot No I don't ride
[03:58.89]I just sit and watch the people there
[04:02.26]And they remind me of wind up cars in motion
[04:06.38]The way they spin and turn and jockey for positions
[04:11.44]And I want to scream out that it all is nonsense
[04:15.30]All your lives one track can't you see it's pointless
[04:19.86]But then my knees give under me
[04:22.85]My head feels weak and
[04:24.54]Suddenly it is clear to see that it is not them but me
[04:28.84]Who has lost my self-identity
[04:32.02]As I hide behind these books I read while scribbling my poetry
[04:38.02]Like art could save a wretch like me
[04:41.01]With some ideal ideology that no one can hope to achieve
[04:47.19]And I am never real; it is just a sketch of me
[04:50.43]And everything I made is trite and cheap
[04:54.55]And a waste of paint of tape of time
[05:09.72]So now I park my car down by the cathedral
[05:14.58]Where floodlights point up at the steeples
[05:18.95]Choir practice was filling up with people
[05:22.88]I hear the sound escaping as an echo
[05:28.25]Sloping off the ceiling at an angle
[05:32.80]When voices blend they sound like angels
[05:37.55]I hope there is some room still in the middle
[05:42.10]But when I lift my voice up now to reach them
[05:46.53]The range is too high way up in heaven
[05:50.46]So I hold my tongue forget the song
[05:53.64]Tie my shoe and start walking off
[05:56.83]And try to just keep moving on with my broken heart and my absent God
[06:02.44]And I have no faith but it is all I want
[06:07.14]To be loved and believe in my soul in my soul
