lyrics

I was told that silence looked best in the morning light
When your face is shriveled up & tight
You always cry when you find a dime
I always cry when I find a dime
& wish I’d died ten times over

I suppose life’s got a couple trick up her purdy sleeve
Like what happened to you & me
In the great halls of history
Wasn’t much of a “two-can-land”
It was hard, it was hell

Nothing’s ever gonna make you happy
Tell her what you need to do
Nothing else on earth that much is true

No one’s ever going to fall asleep lonely
Breeze is going to meet the dew
A wicked trick the morning light can do

Ah behold! Life’s never as simple as it’s on T.V.
Like what happened to you & me
In these great halls of history
It wasn’t much of a “two-can-land”
It was hard, it was hell & back again

No one’s home & the color of your hair is a different shade
Like the sky when it’s about to rain
You always hated the rain
Thunder brings aches & the pains
& the doom of your age

Nothing’s ever gonna make me money
Tell me what you think I should do
Nothing else on earth this much is true

Nothing’s ever gonna make you happy
& breeze is going to meet the dew
A wicked game the morning light can do


When I had you
I didn’t know what to do
I was blind, dealing dimes, getting used

When the taker takes you away
Goodbye love, Goodbye pain
