Rang her phone and then picked her up

Watch T.V. cause she's the late queen

Post traumatic shock set in

Telling her to cancel the evening

Like an American car

We're proud to be driving

We put all the miles in

Ending up where we are

In the middle of silence

Beckoning violence



I believed that I could never use you up

Do you agree?

Of all the things that I find so unusual

What are you thinking?



And so I slapped the face of love

Clenched fists always seemed to say the right things

First let me up then take me home

So much for talking and compromising

And when you humor me that everything's roses

I know where the truth is

And while your flaunting your planetary halo

I'm watching your nose grow



-chorus-



Where are you going with that head?

Full of anguish and suspense?

Lately I've come to find the silence stifling

Won't you stop this crazy tale

Of one man struggling to prevail

Over the evils of the world



Wait, I'm not down just yet

I've got mountains of regret

And my sorrow fills an ocean

-repeat-
