lyrics
The day's remains,
my pocket change.
With so many numbers and letters,
heavy and scraping together.
I walk and make no remark,
as if I were alone.
Platform where I can find,
a public payphone.
If only for this job each morning,
I'd be in this bed all day,
hammer and frying pan, get me awake,
and oh is it ever the same.
I'm an arch of stone,
echoing a clearing throat.
Vapor rising off from the cold,
cause I'm as cross as a ghost.
Who may I ask am I speaking to?
to whom do i owe the pleasure?
Who am I speaking my secrets to?
Who is out there in the ether?
If only for this job each morning,
I'd be in this bed all day,
hammer and frying pan, get me awake,
and oh is it ever the same.
Well ya tap against a teacup
and it bellows for days.
I'll be a good man when I must,
Surly swaying towards the bus,
when I must, I blister past the people,
up and down the street.
Blind to their histories,
though they run me down
and wear on me, well I've got
reason to be smiling.
I feel so well I might start crying.
Fall down the stairs,
and land in a rosebush (2X)
It's time to rise and be leaving,
that slow sweet dreaming.
The beams set across the ceiling,
breathe and sway what I am feeling.
A mind rapt with regret,
well it pours down the top of my head.
And every last letter laments,
branches broken but still kept.
If only for this job each morning,
I'd be in this bed all day,
hammer and frying pan, get me awake,
and oh is it ever the same.
Well ya tap against a teacup
and it bellows for days.
I'll be a good man when I must,
Surly swaying towards the bus,
I nod
but you don't know
if I am there,
and neither am I,
anymore aware.
If only for this job each morning,
I'd be in this bed all day.
