Bugle Boy Lyrics - The The

The country is riddled with social ills and aches 

But my heart is calmed by her embrace 

I'm trying to tell something to the world 

But my words are slurred and slow 

Have you ever been caught up in a dream 

Where your legs were froze? 

I was left alone with my thoughts and my guitar 

But it felt hopeless like the desire of the moth for the star 

Sometimes, nothing seems unreal 

This strange little boy said, "Mister, play us your guitar" 

And I said, "No, I can't put my guitar in the car" 

Listening to the music of heaven and earth 

Have you ever thought you were the 

Most important thing in the universe 

I didn't know whether to strengthen my weaknesses 

Or play to my strengths, yeah 

I was trapped in the triviality of everydayness 

I said, "There's magic in my head, girl 

But I only use it when I'm depressed" 

I don't suppose, she heard me 

She was too busy admiring her dress 

I said, "Just young and well intentioned" 

Who can save us now? The world rots 

I did know the secret of the universe 

Only I forgot
