| 作词 : | |
| Make a dent in the shovel, run the mud through a sieve | |
| Paste your hopes on a windmill blade, plant it up on the hill | |
| Pencil sharpened with a putty knife, pretty girl as a pretty nun | |
| Maybe you wake and think, this is great, | |
| I just want somewhere to run | |
| The walls blend into ceilings and faces disappear | |
| Never enough time to think it out, only time to forget | |
| I'm hereThe bill is on the table but | |
| I've got no coins for pay | |
| A beer half circle around her name, what the hell did she say? | |
| The wise are playing tether ball and the ball's eyes look like mine | |
| Rolling around on the end of the cord, | |
| I can't make up for down | |
| I'm a stream lined engine with a cog chipped out of the wheel | |
| I remember a dirty joke or two but | |
| I can't remember the feel | |
| I remember a dirty joke or two but | |
| I can't remember the feel | |
| Too much time alone | |
| I spend, a miser with a nickel worn | |
| Starving like a mother but | |
| I can't let go | |
| I'll spit the hours 'cross the room and | |
| I'll kick 'em out the door | |
| Hell, you can have them, just another thing | |
| I've got no use for | |
| And it's funny that this comes out dark, it's not that bad | |
| There's still a sparkle, silver in my cavity that plays music in the winter | |
| I've a cardboard box of batteries hidden in a tire swing | |
| A miner's hat with a light on top and a handful of wedding rings | |
| A miner's hat with a light on top and a handful of wedding rings |
