lyrics

I left him standing on the edge of the dock
No punchline, no self-defense
He had everything he needed, as long as he didn’t need a goddamn thing
I was on a tight schedule, so I put on a smaller hat
And waited for the evening rush hour to swing into full effect
Miles, endless miles of pennies in a fountain
A parade of Lincolns just hoping to keep their heads up
And then there was me, green and showing it
Not happy to be there, but happy to be anywhere at all
What would they say if they knew I knew their number?
That I’d been to their empty nests, and I saw the phone bill?
Probably nothing. These marks are used to impropriety
Makes me wonder what’s left to be shocked about.
As far as I’m concerned, shock left town about five years ago
And he didn’t bother to pack his bags.
This is our time, the suckers always say.
They’ve been through the limelight, through the nosedive, through the prickly bushes of the surly old neighbor’s backyard.
And when I tell them they weren’t supposed to be back there anyway, they look at me like I’m the crazy one.
Well I’m not crazy. My ducks may not all be in a row, but my elevator stops on the thirteenth floor.
It doesn’t take much to make a tiger go from stripes to spots these days.
Hell, most people will take your suggestions like yesterday’s lottery numbers.
All they want to know is if they come out on top.
But if you want to know who’s winning, take a good look in the mirror.
That’s about the only player you can disqualify. Everyone else can fend for themselves.
