Lyrics:
While we're on the subject Could we change the subject now? I was knocking on your ears But, you were always out Lookin' towards the future We were begging for the past Well we know we'd had the good things But those never seemed to last Oh please just last Everyone's unhappy Everyone's ashamed Well we all just got caught lookin' At somebody else's page Well nothin' ever went Quite exactly as we'd planned Our ideas held no water But we used 'em like a dam Oh, and we carried it all so well As if we'd got a new position Oh, and I'll laugh all the way to hell Saying, "yes, this is a fine promotion" Oh, and I'll laugh all the way to hell Everyone goes crazy Over such and such and such Well we'd made ourselves a pillar But just used it as a crutch We are certainly uncertain At least I'm pretty sure I am Well we didn't need the water But we stillbuilt that good goddamn! Oh, and I know this of myself I assume as much for other people Oh, and I know this of myself We've listen listen more to life's end gong than the sound of life's sweet bells Was it ever worth it? Was there all that much to gain? Well we knew we'd miss the boat And we'd already missed the plane We didn't read the invite We just danced at our own wake All our favorites were playin So we could shake, shake! shake, shake, shake! Tiny curtains opened then we heard the tiny clap of little hands A tiny man would tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all the folks Sitting drifting around in bubbles then (thinking it was us that carried them) When we finally got it figured out, that we had truly missed the boat Oh, and we carried it all so well As if we'd got a new position Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves without the skills to make a shelf with Oh, what useless tools ourselves
