Lyrics
[verse]
While we're on the sub-ject
could we change the sub-ject now?
I was knock-ing on your ear's door
but you were al-ways out.
Look-ing to-wards the future
we were beg-ging for the past.
Well, we know we had the good things
but those ne-ver seem to last.
Oh, please just last.
Eve-ry-one's un-hap-py and
eve-ry-one's a-shamed.
Well, we all just got caught
look-ing at some-bo-dy else-'s page.
Well, no-thing ev-er went
quite ex-act-ly as we planned.
All our i-deas held no wa-ter
but we used them like a dam.
[chorus]
Oh, and we car-ried it all so we-ll
As if we got a new po-si-tion.
Oh, and I laugh all the way to he-ll.
I say, "Yes, this is a fine pro-mo-tion."
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell.
[verse]
Of course, eve-ry-one goes cra-zy
over such and such and such.
We made our-sel-ves a pil-lar
but we just used it as a crutch.
We were cer-tain-ly un-cer-tain
at least I'm pret-ty sure I am.
Well. we did-n't need the wa-ter
but we just built that good god dam.
[chorus]
Oh, and I know this so my-se-lf.
I as-sume this much for o-ther peo-ple.
Oh, and I know this so my-se-lf.
We lis-ten on lives and go do-wn
on the sound of life's sweet looks.
[interlude]
Was it ev-er worth it?
Was there all that much to gain?
Well, we knew we'd missed the boat
and we al-rea-dy missed the plane.
We did-n't read the in-vite
we just danced at our own wake.
All our favo-rites were a pla-yin'
so we could shake, shake, shake, shake shake.
[verse]
Ti-ny cur-tains op-en and we heard
the ti-ny clap of lit-tle hands.
The ti-ny man would tell a lit-tle joke
and get a ti-ny laugh from all the folks.
Drift-ing around on bub-ble's then,
thin-king it was us that car-ried them
When we final-ly got it fi-gured out
that we had tru-ly missed the boat.
[chorus]
Oh, and we car-ried it all so well.
As if we got a new po-si-tion.
Oh, and we owned all the tools our-selv-es.
With-out the skills to make a shelf with.
Oh, what use-less tools, our-selv-es.
