Something To Say

Oh, you never learned the whens and wheres and whys

And I still believe that you were dying

To be everything to everyone and for all time

Ah, the golden boy, did you stop trying?

Did it turn out stale, or did it simply lose its wonder?

Could you hold it up from out and under?

Does the distance seem to dim-dumb-dim your memory?

Does the distance seem to fell the hunger?

So you're left with your thoughts and where do they go?

Out the window or an open door

And once you believed they could keep you awake

Well, it's so deceiving

So you talk to yourself and what do you know?

You answer back with a "Don't say so"

And once you believed there was something to say

Well, it's so

Oh, you never learned the way to hold a crowd

And it turns out now that you were dying

To be everything to everyone and for all time

Ah, the golden boy, did you stop trying?

So you're left with your thoughts and where do they go?

Out the window or an open door

And once you believed they could keep you awake

Well, it's so deceiving

So you talk to yourself and what do you know?

You answer back with a "Don't say so"

And once you believed there was something to say

Well, it's so deceiving
