lyrics

If I could say just what I mean
there'd be nothing left to sing
I'd be the tick out in the grass
I'd be the oyster in the sea

so let me think or let me not
let me someday be forgot
let my breath count out the hours
until my body goes to rot

may the words I bother shouting
be the best ones that I've got

If I look like I'm lost
I'm just going nowhere
race me if you want
and we'll be going nowhere

all those broadway boys are something
all full of money, full of booze
they're going places, going places
I'm going places too
I'm going nowhere soon
like those nashville girls so pretty
as their voices and their faces
they're going places, going places
I'm going places too
I'm going nowhere soon

if it takes nine years of staring
to see the flat side of a wall
to sit 101 feet high
up on a 100 foot pole
then if I sit here long enough
can I forget about it all
what will, will again
and if won't then so it ends
I'll be a sitting explosion
just a letter bomb to send

when I see you again
I'll give you everything I can
I'll give you all I have to give
I'll give you both my empty hands
