Walk home through the early streets
Arrive to my home's not far off now
School kids with their families
And like hell their mothers tried to be on time
Bless this earth, my soul, the universe
It's all too big enough to leave me out now
Pay the rent now, wheel the can of knife
It takes a different man to stand upright

Take my side, I swear it's good enough
Just so we both remember
Waste my time, I folded, she gave up
Just so we both remember

Try to get something so simple now
I talk plain all the time and it burns me out
Finished with a sense of dignity
My memory's just in time to bail me out
I was born into a dream she woke me
I donned a mind to case call
Moaning symphony, my neighbor cries
The neighborhood used up, we kicked them out

Next we bluffs and turn away, we nail the left
It's the little boy, we know he hurts the worst
He's the oddest child solving breaking left
Oh, you know him, of course you know him, he hurts

We're headstrong, we're headstrong, we're headstrong
It's our fault, it's our fault, it's our fault
We're headstrong, we're headstrong, we're headstrong
And it's our fault, it's our fault, it's our fault
We're headstrong, we're headstrong, we're headstrong

Take my side, I swear it's good enough
Just so we both remember
Waste my time, I folded, she gave up
Just so we both remember
Take my side, I swear it's good enough
Just so we both remember
Waste my time, I folded, she gave up
Just so we both remember

Take from me the very best you can
We have and it seems that your life evokes
Words playing from my dead sky
Face up and down, I'm waiting, she
We'll count her footballs till she sleeps
She never wakes, I count my words
So carefully the time's just off
She never wakes
I'll get by, go fumble with it
Still she prays for my well-being
And also this great nation
Play our songs and never grow up
