Smarter Hearts

(앨범: Come Pick Me Up - 1999)

Had a friend who rode the mat
Used to be a break dancing king
Well, I never saw his collar worn down
No, he never wore a terry cloth hat

Knew a girl who knew someone
Spoke in detail of the circles she flew around the sun
Now I never saw through this lie
No, I never saw the bruise on her eyes

You know, history does repeat endlessly
It's just that we imagine we are someone else
With multiplied strength
Strides of great length
Hearts are smarter than before

My dream of him a bear as dumb as that
Walks eyes open twice into the same trap
Never heard the gate slam shut
No, he never saw the phone lines cut

Had a friend who wrote the myth
Who'd never been fooled, never been kissed
Drawing comic strips of his pain
But he's just another sucker standing in the rain

You know, history does repeat endlessly
It's just that we imagine we are someone else
With multiplied strength
Strides of great length
Hearts are smarter than before

Hearts are never smarter, oh
Ooh
Hearts are never smarter, oh
Ooh
Hearts are never smarter, oh
Ooh
You know, well you know

History does repeat endlessly
It's just that we imagine we are someone else
With multiplied strength
Strides of great length
Hearts are smarter than before

History does repeat endlessly
It's just that we imagine we are someone else
With arrow-proof coats
Foolish bravery rising in our throats
