Bread And Coffee

(album: Wood / Water - 2002)

Drown yourself in bread and coffee
Fast forward right through the news
We spend weeks just window shopping
What else can we really do?
We could be anybody

Every time you take the water
We are too afraid to smile
Our faces turn transparent paper glass after a while
We see everybody

And it's a long distraction
Between our satisfactions
And any good time should be just rolling by

Now the bees are indicators
Maybe we should go outside
A fire drill keeps humming
There are floods that change the tide
There's one day for everybody

We are pairs of apple lions
Starved for clothes that we could wear
Long strings of double lookers
Easy listeners everywhere
We could be anybody

And it's a long distraction
Between our better actions
And any good time should be just rolling by
We keep a graveyard of ships sunk in glass
The silverware is buried out back
And it's a long distraction
Between our satisfactions
And any good time should be just rolling by
