Lyrics:
She says the joys of life are lost among the living.
So I guess all those souvenirs are for her health.
She gives me quarters for the phone
And every time I feel along, I go broke.
Yeah I go broke.
She says if you're not here, at least make sure you miss me.
So when I miss her I make sure to let her know.
It's the least that I could do and sure I guess I like it too,
I'm Mr. charming
Without the charming.
And I can hear the eyebrows raise when I start singing.
'cause the songs I sing are all about myself.
You can read me like a book,
I'm not as clever as I look.
I've got a sneaky kind of selfish
That I keep up on the shelf
With jars of double-sided comments
For people who've done nothing wrong.
Preparing for the lights
And always practicing my sha-na-na's
I will stand right next to giants
And roar beside the lions,
Wondering how is it so easy
For leaves amid the breeze to blow
From hometowns all around us
To hometowns where nobody lives—
Just cities full of people.
People making people making people for the masses.
People we won't ever know.
She says the point of this is not to date the future.
So just focus on the task at hand.
Try to break up with your pride and start to flirt with satisfied.
