Long Division Lyrics - Long Division - Rustic Overtones

(D. Gutter) 

there's a pain in my heart... 

as it pumps blood through my veins 

so flows a little shame. 

I'll pull back on the reins a bit... 

cause on the flip there's a man 

with his aluminum can 

in an old wheelchair he sits 

I flip a coin into the wishing well 

I stop to wish him well 

There was hope once for us both 

as our long division grows 

failure upon failure made one mountain and one stones 

pray for my friend tonight 

because poor isn't that far from your middle class line 

long division takes it's time. 

There's too much daylight between 

all our pockets and our dreams 

so when you reach into your pocket 

reach down further than the seams 

to the leg that you could kneel down 

and beg upon; one day a prince 

and the next day a vagabond. 

I flip a coin into a wishing well 

this one's for you... 

-chorus- 

the depths of a man 

with water in his hand 

is shallower than sand 

if it's water he doesn't share 

this world's a low tide beach of lies and deceit 

some go hungry and some eat 

some are stupid and some teach 

I flip a fist full of coins into a wishing well 

now there is hope for us all. 

-chorus-
