[00:24.074]So here's the deal
[00:26.688]I know enough to know I've lost
[00:31.768]I've got no flag
[00:34.621]And all my confidants are spies
[00:36.945]And all the paperwork's been signed
[00:39.341]Or so I'm told
[00:47.226]And the world has lost its ears
[00:51.866]So I'll save my breath
[00:54.664]Time was never on my side
[00:57.213]And now the clocks behind my eyes
[00:59.547]Have all run down
[01:07.123]Strike a match
[01:10.282]And drop it in the canister
[01:12.976]I promise I'll be back
[01:17.454]But then again
[01:19.802]I stole my words
[01:22.617]From the ghost inside my head
[01:27.376]He never sleeps
[01:30.040]And if I read between the lines
[01:32.419]I'll see that nothing's really mine
[01:35.012]Or so I'm told
[01:42.652]We're in a never-ending dream
[01:47.484]Or so it seems
[01:50.084]And I hope one day I'll wake to say
[01:53.000]That nothing goes away
[01:55.084]But I know I won't
[02:03.308]Strike a match
[02:06.189]And drop it in the canister
[02:08.521]I promise I'll be back
[02:13.006]But then again
[02:15.306]Who's keeping count?
[02:39.390]*rewind*
[03:01.145]So
[03:04.421]For the one who can't sing along
[03:13.033]Paint the sky
[03:16.458]For a bird that never flies
[03:25.981]The rope is being wound while the reaper plays the fiddle
[03:28.652]And the kids erase the city line
[03:31.848]I always want to thank them
[03:34.955]I always want to thank them
[03:38.090]The riddles in the clouds say the birds are going south
[03:41.010]Till the weather changes face again
[03:44.150]I know I'm gonna miss them
[03:46.974]I know I'm gonna miss them
[03:50.283]I know I'm gonna miss listening to their songs
[03:58.953]It's all a dream
[04:02.301]To the one who never sleeps
[04:11.144]And make a joke
[04:14.509]For the one who's going broke
[04:24.221]The poster boy cracked
[04:25.483]The priest is on his back and your love is on a Sunday train
[04:29.986]I doubt you'll ever miss them
[04:33.075]You'll probably never miss them
[04:36.172]A bird is in the window with a fish hook in his beak
[04:39.031]And he can't decide just what went wrong
[04:42.368]And you know I'd love to help him
[04:45.263]But I'm never gonna get to help him
[04:48.425]I can't help, so I'm never gonna hear his songs
