Well, the sun's not so hot in the sky today. And you know I can see summertime slipping on away. A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red.
Ever since the days of old. Men would search for wealth untold. They'd dig for silver and for gold. And leave the empty holes. And way down south in the Everglades.
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time. Any fool can do it. There ain't nothing to it. Nobody knows how we got to. The top of the hill. But since we're on our way down.
The old man rhythm's gotten in my shoes. Know you're sittin' here and singing the blues. So be my guest you got nothing to loose. Won't you let me take you on a see cruise.
Well the moon is in the ocean. And the starts are in the sky. And all that I can see. Is my sweet maria's eyes. Sarah, sarah maria. Sarah maria, ya, ya, ya, ya.
I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way. Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday. I called on dear old Santa Claus. To see what I could see.
[Chorus]. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. Crying all the time.. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. Crying all the time.. Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit.
Everything's different. Something's gone missing. I'd travel the distance to drown out the sound of the noise we make. We talk the same shit. Expecting to shape shift.
[Verse: 1]. So if you're gonna leave me. I got a few words to say. I'm trouble in the morning. But you knew that anyway. And truth is you're the reason.
[Verse: 1]. She was a snowflake. I was an earthquake. She was a flash flood. We made electricity. . [Pre chorus:]. I'm Prozac numb. I'm wired all wrong.
Classics in the modern age. Sixties remake. Everything you've got in spades. Your collarbone, shoulder blades. . (Hey). Bat your lips, shut your eyes.
Another stone rolls over. The republic is just one more year older. But way out in the distance. We see your white boots glisten in the sun. . We know you've come here with a plan.
i strapped my memories to my back i'm leaving.. i'm already gone.. and i was on a train somewhere wishing sweet stings to you.. to make you never forget the poetry in wanting..
cornered, drawn and quartered. you've forever bound this beast to you. and when we sleep, it sharpens its teeth. it licks its jowls and, threatens to gnaw free.
and i begged the summer that stole spring to stay.. and this is struggling to find the faith i lost when you fell away.. and it's remembering you silver and golden that scares me..
its come to this and i cant come up to you. flip the tables and through the windows let the bottles. break and the the blood hit the lawn, because im not able.
and this city rusted worn.. has pulled us way.. past torn and fast enough.. we'll never get away.. and i won't see you.. fuck this fight away.. and if you don't break this day..
I stared you down so hard I burnt your shadow to the wall. and through the haze you served a slow pull from grace. at a drunken pace. I've nothing to sell you, nothing to trade.
