0% Interest
(专辑: Tonight Not Again: Live At The Eagles Ballroom - 2004)
Our friends on the
front porch, well they're telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and finding more energy for the
effort and getting distance from that front porch spotlight But us we found peace in shadows, long enough to see the
monsters rise Candy's got some space to fill in her daydream living high on yesterday's lies Talking to me about some 0% interest and, how she got a
better deal than the
next guy And the
way the
lightning shocked us when we were lost and we were looking Down that long Missouri highway your hair was longer then and now I
can remember Say now I
remember oh so well Oh the
roads unencumbered by cats they're burning like wet matches through my miracle mile mind You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but mine only brushes your soft surface And somehow Somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes So I
can't speak to tell you of the
months before I
met you And the
way, oh the
truth it locked us Oh right about the
time after the
lightning shocked us When we were young, when we were young and missing Round that small New England byway our lives they were sheltered then and now I
can remember Say now well I
remember oh so well, almost too well Well its not even being about that anymore I
gotta get you down Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a
time Unchanged when its not the
same beginning or along awaited end... If I
knew all the
words I
would write myself out of here If I
was all the
colors I
would paint you pretty in gold in a
picture, so I'm told little sister So now I'm sold little sister Why don't you tell me about the
sunsets in Sweden and the
laws of Eden And how you were the
rock of Gibraltar, and how they called you foxy Well that's another whole box of pandora's, that's another whole box of them ties Slide your foot off the
gas before we crash right back into the
median Right back into the
median, the
median lo-oh It separates, our house from the
middle of the
street... It separates our house from the
middle of the
street Talking about our house Is on the
front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and finding more energy for the
effort and getting distance from that front porch Spotlight But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a
monster die. We all need to find a
little space in our daydreams long enough and just so long. Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it long enough? Is it long enough for me? Long enough for me to chew on. If it isn't... if it isn't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't then it wont. And that's just the
way that it goes.
