Soft Rock Band

Well, it's play time in exile

And the weather is hot

So dream my recollections from the parking lot

I know time is a straight line

But I'm looking for curves

So I got down on the gravel

And I dig through the Earth

'Til I find the last cityscape

Where it once was

Haunted by eucalyptus

And the ghosts of the gums

I'm the silence, I'm the revelry

I'm a shit talking melody

Oh, I might have seen it all

But I know, oh, there's still so much to go

Oh, oh, I might have seen it all

Well, the moon's just a sliver

Helps me see my own grave

With lockers and the boxes of things that I say

And the paper, and the plastic

Trace it backwards past

Showed my father was a spy

But my mom taught math

And our daddy was in the gold rush

Right before he went to war

But these days he shoots a laser

I don't know who for

Now I collect key cards from Holiday Inns

Or cigarettes and scratches that I can't cash in

There's only so much carbon

Hope Jesus is a real man

Maybe he was a peasant

Gladiator contest

It's proven by DNA test

And I know

There's still so much to go

Yeah, no, I might have seen it all

And I've been in the backroom

And I've been on the stage

And I've felt the heat coming off a blank page

And I was a pen once with ink in my blood

And I was the moleskin that I couldn't afford

And I've been the Narcan

And I've been the coke

And I've been the punch line

And I've been in on the joke

Oh, and I was a woman once

And I'll never forget

'Cause I keep searching for that feeling, haven't found it yet

Oh, and once I was a Christian, but I prayed it away

And I guess that I was straight once, right before I was gay

Oh, and when I was in government, well, it could've gone worse

But I settled into martyrdom, and I fell for the curse

And we started our family

Don't we love 'em to death?

Oh, but now I'm the mortgage, I'm the credit card debt

Oh, and I am the clouds, raining down on the lands

I think once I was a singer in a soft rock band

No, I'm not in trouble

You know I miss my network

And you know I miss my bubble

And I keep them all inside me

Oh, I know

I might have seen it all

Oh, I know, there's still so much to go

Yeah, I know, I might have seen it all

Oh, I know, there's still so much to go

Yeah, I know, I might have seen it all

Oh, I know, I might have seen it all

And don't I know, there's still so much to go

And yeah I know, I might have seen it all

Don't I know, there's still so much to go

I might have seen it all

But I know, there's still so much to go
