lyrics

I hear an old song that I used to know
Yeah it goes through the changes
And it puts on the show singing
“You go first and I’ll follow on my way.”
“I’ll get to, as long as it’s not today.”
The songbird in the mine
It’s been singing out for days
You can’t explain it away
Oh it’s a calling, oh it’s a bell
Yeah it’s a straight steady knell
And it’s ringing for you
You say that you’re listening
But I know it isn’t true
Who said that to make a difference
We have to make the difference
Every piece, every part, all at once by ourselves
The allure of denial is sweet
And it’s oh, oh so easy to forget
We say that we’re changing
But I know it isn’t true
The smog is beautiful tonight on the city skyline
A 360 sunset hanging thick in the air
The smell of money’s everywhere
Oh you can kind of taste it
But there are as many reasons not to change as mouths there are to talk
A hundred ways to look away, oh you can hear the people say
We need cars for jobs for homes for kids whose kids will have to live with this
And you can almost hear the future crying out to stop

Simple is safe, but complex is fiery, intricate, and ultimately more rewarding. ... more
