Lyrics
Late Century Dream
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.
Well you never did like the way the road stretched out
Never knowing where all these oiley black threads are tied
Under the lights of a spaceship landed
On the ice of a curve unsanded
Theres a clover leaf
That'll wreck your life
And everybody lives in a knot
Everybody lives in a knot
Everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got
Everybody lives in a knot
Everybody lives in a knot
Everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got
It was never better
It was never any better
But a nation is not soothed
When they tell her
And the doctors all look shocked
But everybody grows up weened on some sick late century dream
Or the happy face on a shirt smiling
