lyrics

Lyrics:
Missed by an inch and some focus group it’s safe to say I’d get lost in you sideways
Hey, crystal ball do that thing that you do and roll away, predict the ending of all things
There’s always someone listening
The world continues turning
What’s there left to do? (Oooooooh)
Desperate to be heard speaking delphic words, it all sounds the same Like a mouthful of marbles
Rading the birds
Every omen that’s occurred melts away with the ice caps
There just might be something to that
Finally understand it
Some clarity at long last
What else is there to do?
