Catcher In The Rye

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When all is said and done

We're not the only ones

Who look at life this way

That's what the old folks say

But every time I see them

Makes me wish I had a gun

If I thought that I was crazy

Well I guess I'd have more fun (Guess I'd have more fun)

Oooh, the catcher in the rye again

Won't let ya get away from him (Tomorrow never comes)

It's just another day

Like today

You decide

Cause I don't have to

And then they'll find

And I won't ask you

At anytime

Or long hereafter

If the cold outside's

As I'm imagining

It to be

Oh, no

Lana nana na na na

Lana nana na nana

Ooh, the catcher in the rye again

Won't let ya get away from him (Tomorrow never comes)

It's just another day

Like today

When all is said and done

We're not the only ones

Who look at life this way

That's what the young folks say

And if they'd ever change

As that reminds to say

But every time I see them

Makes me wish I had a gun

If I thought that I was crazy

Well I guess I'd have more fun

Cause what used to be's

Not there for me

And ought to for someone

That belongs

Insane

Like I do

Oh, no

Not at all

On an ordinary day

Not in an ordinary way

All at once the song I heard

No longer would it play

For anybody

Or anyone

That needed comfort from somebody

Needed comfort from someone

Who cared

To be

Not like you

And unlike me

And then the voices went away from me

Somehow you set the wheels in motion

That haunt our memories

You were the instrument

You were the one

How a body

Took the body

You gave that boy a gun

You took our innocence

Beyond our stares

Sometimes the only thing

We counted on

When no one else was there
