lyrics

part i: el gato

i never really had the youth that kids in old rock songs all do
i never was the gunslinger or had no muscle car
just a tape player, pause+record the radio
and a no name electric guitar

autumn: i went driving spinning tires on the road
i always kind of knew i'd die alone
winter: was no different, don't know why i thought it'd be
it was too damn cold and i just wanted to sleep

in all the songs and books i've read, in friends who drank themselves to death
trying to be someone worth telling tales about
i will not lay down, become another hopeless case
or some ghost that keeps hanging around

spring: we were on fire, i never felt so free
the words just flowed and they came so naturally
summer: i got tired, i don't know what you want from me
it's not the end that sucks, just when you have to wait

(wait till the weight of the world brings you down
down, down, down to the ground)

part ii: andrea doria

oh darling, i miss you so
you've been away about a year by now
i hope you're well because i've been depressed as hell
and i don't think i'll get used to getting old

oh darling, i'll see you soon
we've got a show in the city next week
another bar, i see you swing low like a star
pouring your light down on me

part iii: felo de se

well what can you say, you promised that you wouldn't change
but you caved all the same for the chance on the stage and the fame
and what can you do, it's another sold out show
and you hate all the songs, but the kids sing along and love you
but you're still alone

how's your life in the border lands?
how's the outside looking in?
your yellow brick road has brought you nothing but gold
and that distance between you and all your friends

part iv: trompe l'‪œ‬il

honey say hello to the kids, tell them daddy's on his way
he'll be home by next may
every night i meet the best friends of my life
and every day by dawn they're gone
some will say it's just the toll i've gotta pay
but that don't help me sleep at night
