lyrics

If you hate the taste of wine, why do you drink it 'til you're blind. And if you swear that there's no truth and who cares, why do you say it, like you're right. Why are you scared to dream of God, when it's salvation that you want. Like stars that clear, have been dead for years, but the idea still lives on. In our wheels that roll around, as we move over the ground. And all day it seems, we've been inbetween a past and present town. We are nowhere, and it's now. We are nowhere and it's now. And like a ten minutes dream in the passenger seat while the world was flying by. I haven't been gone very long but it feels like a lifetime.
I got no plans and too much time. I feel too restless to unwind. I'm always lost in thought as I walk the block to my favorite neon sign. Where the waitress looks concerned, but she never says a word. Just turns the juke box on and we hum along and I smile back at her. And my friend comes after work, when the features start to blur. She says, these bars are filled with things that kill, by now you probably should have learned. Did you forget that yellow bird, how could you forget your yellow bird. And she took a small sliver wreath and pinned it onto me. She said, this one will bring you love. And I don't know if it's true but I keep it for good luck.
