Current song lyrics
While we're on the subject<br />Could we change the subject now?<br />I was knocking on your ears<br />Don't worry, you were always out<br />Looking towards the future<br />We were begging for the past<br />Well, we know we had the good things<br />But those never seemed to last<br />Oh, please just last<br /><br />Everyone's unhappy<br />Everyone's ashamed<br />Well we all just got caught looking<br />At somebody else's page<br />Well, nothing ever went<br />Quite exactly as we planned<br />Our ideas held no water<br />But we used them like a dam<br /><br />Oh, and we carried it all so well<br />As if we got a new position<br />Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell<br />Saying, "Yes, this is a fine promotion"<br />Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell<br /><br />Of course everyone goes crazy<br />Over such and such and such<br />We made ourselves a pillar<br />But we just used it as a crutch<br />We were certainly uncertain<br />At least I'm pretty sure I am<br />Well, we didn't need the water<br />But we just built that good goddamn<br /><br />Oh, and I know this of myself<br />I'd assume as much for other people<br />Oh, and I know this of myself<br />We've listened more to life's end gong<br />Than the sound of life's sweet bells<br /><br />Was it ever worth it?<br />Was there all that much to gain?<br />Well, we knew we'd missed the boat<br />And we'd already missed the plane<br />We didn't read the invite<br />We just danced at our own wake<br />All our favorites were playing<br />So we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake<br /><br />Tiny curtains open and we heard the tiny clap of little hands<br />A tiny man would tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all the folks<br />Sitting, drifting around in bubbles and thinking it was us that carried them<br />When we finally got it figured out that we had truly missed the boat<br /><br />Oh, and we carried it all so well<br />As if we got a new position<br />Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves<br />But not the skills to make a shelf with<br />Oh, what useless tools ourselves
