DON'T YOU KNOW
Wrap your brain in cellophane
Preserve the pathways, purge the pain
And find things you can trade or exchange
Tired of chasing 'round your ghost
I left my home out for the coast
But everyone I left there was strange
So you go, live and linger like you've got it made
Don't you know, sunshine's only bound to turn to shade
Hit the road with a heavy load
I swore my ankles would explode
By carrying your ball and your chain
Raise your glass up for a toast
You bellow, bicker, brag and boast
'Bout living on a life without rain
So you go, live and linger like you've got it made
Don't you know, sunshine's only bound to turn to shade
Left alone to free my bones, talk to me in palindromes
Reflect upon a love transpired
A lifelong labor without pay, never thought I'd see the day
When everything we stood upon is going up in fire
You listen hard, but you don't hear, I got you in my rearview mirror
You disappear like trees along the road
I got lost in your arcade, a spiral circus, a thorn parade
A puzzle I can't solve or decode
So you go, live and linger like you've got it made
Don't you know, sunshine's only bound to turn to shade
So you go, live and linger like you've got it made
Don't you know, sunshine's only bound to turn to shade
