lyrics

heard you echoing the words i say
"we'll let the moon hang full, spit the grease in a bucket
take a little room in santa fe
and lose the faces we've created to survive these service jobs"
she says "im gonna run away
well i dont know where but ill follow my feet"
and i heard you echoing the words id say
it got me thinkin bout me and you about you

saw you leaving with a rope and a smile
saw the rice on a plate in a blizzard of white and i
hung the picture where i thought youd see
what i been to you and what you done to me and i
stumbled over to the cellar door
with a pack of the outta town smokes for cheaper
mother tell me what to do and how
she said "22 years shoulda learned by now"

its so static
life aint so dramatic
i bet i seem erratic
like a child with a handgun
skipping down the street
screaming legislation
and shooting both my feet

bet im weighing down your atmosphere
draggin you down every second that i draw you near
i think im getting outta here
gonna change my name to something that sounds sincere
and yes i think im gonna move away
well i dont know where but ill follow my feet
and ask me what i did yesterday
cause i cant think of now with all this past in play

and its so static
baby life aint so dramatic
i bet i seem erratic
listing you a poem
that you wont ever read
not knowing what is real
and what is displayed on a screen

i tried to know
tried to understand
how the world could turn
in the palm of a hand
i tried to be
what you thought i am
a simple man
with a steady hand

but aint that the way it gets
feeling used
you lend the only hand that you dont wanna lose
and i dont know when this will end
i dont know when this will end
