lyrics

The day I meet my fate
Open eyes ecstatic and afraid
Held naked with suspense
And wide awake
But a broken clock
Can read right sometimes
If a broken man
Can do right sometimes

Darling if you knew all my secrets
Quite certain you'd be stricken
All the legends of this town are ghosts to me
They aint ever really done much

Just a coattail rider
Just a hangers on
Always unsatisfied
And the road is long

Lay your ear on my chest
Hear my heart beat a tattoo
All we've ever done and all we ever was
A generation's youth so much rotten fruit

Oh so very long
I won't tarry in one place
I won't drag my feet on a grave

Pooled the wool
It was easy to do
The hard one to fool
Was myself

Son if you saw all my faces
You'd turn tail and cut tracks
The mask you see was tailor fit for me
I pray you never see the others

Strip me down to bare wire
Lay my cards on the table
With the right mind the right set of eyes
Will afford you everything you've wanted
