If you hate the taste of wine
But do you drink it till you’re blind?
And if ya swear that there’s no truth and who cares
How come you say it, like you’re right?
Why are you scared to dream of God?
When it’s salvation that you want?
Ya see stars that are clear have been dead for years
But the idea just lives on.
In our wheels that roll around
As we move over the ground.
And all day it seems
We’ve been in between a past and future town.
We are nowhere and its now.
We are nowhere and its now.
And like ten minute dream in the passenger seat
While the world was flying by
I haven’t been gone very long
But it feels like a life time.
I’ve been sleeping so strange at night.
Side affects they don’t advertise.
I’ve been sleeping so strange,
With a head full of pesticide.
I’ve got no plans and too much time.
I feel too restless to unwind.
I’m always lost in thought as I walk a block
To my favorite, neon sign.
Where waitress looks concerned
But she never says a word.
Just turns the Jukebox on
And we hum along, and I smile
Back at her.
And my friend comes after work
When the feature starts to blur.
She says “These bars of filth with things that kill,
but now you probably should’ve learned”
Did you forget that yellow bird
Oh how could you forget your, yellow bird.
And she took a small silver reef and pined it onto me
And said “this one will probably bring you love.”
And I don’t know if its true,
but I keep it for good luck.
