lyrics

Give me one for the road and what a long road it is
See I've looked for the truth and it doesn't exist
The hand me down world of my childhood
Seems so far away now
And I wanted the stars to fall down at my feet
But somehow they always fell just out of reach
You hold them all in your fingers and thumbs
You're the luck one all your dreams have come true

And you still don't why and it's obvious I can't tell you

I tried walking on water attempted to love,
But nothing is easy when push comes to shove
The worst kind of men always win in the end
And it doesn't seem fair
So I ran with the crowd and I danced to their beat
But somehow the party was never for me
You dance to music nobody can hear
And you sing to me, now I want to sing too

And if you don't know why then I'm not sure that I can tell you

See the jokers and cheats, little bicycle thieves
The convicted, the innocent the judges and creeps
The fathers and sons, the husbands and wives
The liars, adulterers, thrown away lives
The angels, the devils, the damned and the saved
The poets, the dreamers, the sinners and saints
The generous, the mean and the old beauty queens
We'd all like to know what it is that you see

And if you don't know why then I'm not sure that I can explain

Give me one for the road and what a long road it is
See I've looked for the truth and it doesn't exist
The black and white world of my childhood
Seems so far away now
