Lyrics

I put my head down for a payout
A trade up
Coordinate change outside my apartment
A simple picture
Drawn by children on the pavement
And I cry for the angel
With a ball and chain on her wings
Oh what a delicate thing
I keep my eyes down
Approaching the Bellevue crosswalk
Don't think I could take it today
Matching eyes with
The worn out confusion
Mirrored all over faces of young strangers
As we fast-walk
And sleep-talk
Looking past the horizon to some dream
We all got somewhere to be
Can't put down roots in the concrete
You pressed your luck
One's drowning and one's climbing up
And the strong winds blow him over now
And you don't even know it's over now
Marking the time
With the dust on my bedside hardback
I made a good dent there with the bottom of a tall-stem
Wine glass
Making progress
With a single word in my journal
Yeah"Tomorrow"
What a promise
Yeah I truly can't wait, but for today
I won't do anything at all
Even my mirror looks past me
I'll keep my eyes on the door
Can't put down roots in the concrete
