Moral Centralia

(album: Little By Little... - 2005)

"You are weak, I am strong,
And I've done nothing but lead you on," she said.

Drove around all night
The stop lights were interminable, but I get along all right
As long as I don't have to interact with anyone else
On a meaningful level I'll be fine
'Cause I don't want to marry my convictions
Not right now
Not right now
Not right now

When wicked thoughts come inter alia
You wind up in Centralia, morally,
Looking for a decent cup of coffee,
Trying to meet halfway
It seems like I'm stealing your words,
But really I'm just giving them back to you.
Once again, it's all about me, and pride is not a factor, no
Once again, it's all about me

"You are weak, I am strong,
And I've done nothing but lead you on and on," she said.

Feeling well... into my cups already
(just until my hands are steady)
The spins are setting in
I swear I'll never never feel like myself again
I'd like to go back 10 years
And show you a picture of yourself now;
But I'm afraid that it might kill you then.
You used to be such a loyal friend.
Once again, it's all about me, and pride is not a factor, no
Once again, it's all about me:
Third person in the inner monologue again
It's all about me.
Me, yeah
Me, yeah.
