|
Well, I smoked my |
|
Throat out last night |
|
Hoping you'd call |
|
Or just stop by |
|
Now, I'm wheezing |
|
Like the Oakland sky |
|
Feeling like |
|
The rusted tracks |
|
And forgotten dream |
|
Of the old train lines |
|
It's a perpetual stone |
|
In my shoe |
|
One that I'll always |
|
Be trying to shake loose |
|
An ache in my chest |
|
And a thorn in my side |
|
More than a scratch |
|
Beneath this skin |
|
Somewhere between |
|
The beginning and the end |
|
I don't feel a lot lately |
|
I don't feel whole lately |
|
I don't feel much lately |
|
That's how I hide |
|
That's how I hide |
|
You wrote it down not to |
|
Draw attention to yourself |
|
You let the pilot just |
|
To blow it out |
|
Here the conversation's |
|
Always too loud |
|
And we're as pathetic as the jumper |
|
That listens to the crowd |
|
To say I miss you |
|
Wouldn't be enough |
|
I feel like Tom Waits |
|
Singing, 'Diamonds and rust' |
|
And I'm as pathetic as a junkie |
|
Who knows what he does |
|
It's a perpetual stone |
|
In my shoe |
|
One that I'll always |
|
Be trying to shake loose |
|
An ache in my chest |
|
And a thorn in my pride |
|
More than a scratch |
|
Beneath this skin |
|
Somewhere between |
|
The beginning and the end |
|
I don't feel a lot lately |
|
I don't feel whole lately |
|
I don't feel much lately |
|
But that's how I hide |
|
That's how I hide |
