about

it's not supposed to make that kind of sense, bub. Or any kind, for that matter. Make your own damn sense.

lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to remember
and even harder to ignore
that the way the world works now
are not the way it worked before

that doesn't mean the good old days
were good, it just means you're old
doesn't matter what age you are
the world can be dark and cold

the cloud of voices chatters on
about things we all shoulda did
rather hear those nails on a chalkboard
than closing my coffin lid

I'm not the man I used to be
thank god, that guy was a jerk
names' the same, but I'm more deranged
cause now that's just how the world works

My advice is mostly useless
but it's all I've got to give:
don't spend so much time living
that you forget to live

I've known my share of con-men
hell, I've conned a few folks myself
I've known saints with milk white-hair
who walked on the roofs of hell

I've lost myself in thirsty canyons
I've lost myself in silly rhymes
I lost my love, then found her again,
we're having a real good time

When the hounds of love come howling
better throw'em more than a bone
cause without their constant gnawing
your sky's gonna fill up with stones

Buy yourself a big bag of salt
you'll need more than a grain, you see,
and make sure you listen to your own stupid heart
before you listen to people like me

My advice is mostly useless
but it's all I've got to give:
don't spend so much time living
that you forget to live
