lyrics

ginger beer sipping
while looking through the fog
on another clear morning
i know that the difference
between me and these stories
is that everything is boring
you came to the doorway
and said hey
(hey)
it's time to do something
have you made your decision
i tell you every choice i ever make
i made already moment i was born
you ask why i sound sad

tarot card reading
and after dark sittings
in the park when it's supposed to be closed
i don't mind it
it's only two blocks from my home
and besides weatherman said the night would be calm
you're busy scraping bubble gum off of your shoe
you hit me cause i laughed when you stepped in it
i just liked the touch of it

what i can't say now
i'll write later in a poem
and i won't show that shit to anyone
cause writing poems is corny

man i'm awfully lonely
but your cards said that i should focus
on the things that i'm feeling right now
then later i'll find power
cause the things i went without
taught me lessons i can use
in the war that's going down
i don't know if that's true
but it makes me feel better
just to know you understood
how difficult it was to be me
the night fills me up with something
i told you you were beautiful
and you were pleased
