lyrics

I won't start this off by telling a lie.
I'm almost kind of bored with all the details of my life.
I won't talk about a train or the way that it rolls.
There's only one girl I've ever met who rides them and, the two of us, we don't talk anymore.

Grab a line if there's something that calls for you.
Drag a scarecrow if something follows you.
And on the end of every sharp edge every point is just about the same.
What've you done today for god to want to pound out your name?

Everybody touches some good luck a few times in their life.
Somebody might buy your breakfast or you might get to fool around with some chick you like.
You search for your big winner but that's something you can't buy.
I'm pretty sure nobody ever gets to heaven unless they sleep every minute of every day till they die.

Grab a line if there's something that calls for you.
Drag a scarecrow if something follows you.
And on the end of every sharp edge every point is just about the same.
What've you done today for god to want to pound out your name?

The story's never over or else we'd all leave,
back to whatever thing we left before we came here to be.
The story's never over or else we'd all leave,
back to whatever thing we left before we came here to be.
