Lyrics by Eric Bettencourt
There’s a funny little rumor about the way the trees hold the sky
There’s something in your eyes showing the smile that you’re trying to hide
There’s a cotton candy clown and like the flowers he is trying to fly
There’s something like sunshine that crept into my graveyard nights
There’s a glimmer of a moment that you would die to relive
There’s a trainload of your past that derailed when your future split
And there’s hope that you’d find a door that you have not built yet
And there’s a feeling of desire that is burning like a grounded jet
Well so much for the pleasures that have pleased us more than all
And so much for the hungry who are waiting in the hall
And so much for the lightening that made the dead stir
For so much you’d give it all to quiet the thunder
There’s a darkened intuition that your world might give up the fight
There’s a glory seeking hell hound and he is is feeling quite alright
And there’s a dazzling image of a truth-less reality
There’s a gust of wind screaming through an open window at me
Well so much for a little cause that won’t help me get lost
And so much for your hands too busy to pull me across
And so much for painting pictures cause all I see is black and gray
For so much you’d give it all if you only knew what to say
And there’s a newborn baby crying and she’s trying to tell us all
There are solutions in the wind but the dust it covers her calls
There’s a musician playing cards and he’s loosing his only hand
There’s a face in your window that relates but can’t understand
