lyrics

sportswriter shook his head and said good grief
in shoveling the mountains we knocked down, i turned up a whole new leaf
one day, i woke up and the open road was just calling my name
flashes of our last days in the valley etched on the sky in flame

old makeshift cinemas in the market attic
over-under on stock romances turning tragic
sorceresses fresh out of magic
as the emperor passes on his excess fabric

can i use you as a reference for my
future leaders?
verify the cleaning up of my default demeanors
i had no qualms about the donning of a kind disguise to mask what once were tired eyes from taking suckers to the cleaners
gone to see the fireworks out at the city limits
we can't be held accountable just cause we know the business
but then the show began, i thought if these were made by man, and man was made by god then god i better drop and beg forgiveness

our names have all changed in time
our names have all changed in time
our names have all changed in time
our names have all changed in time

the sportswriter shook his head and said good grief
all surface and no details is right, man - snippets of the world in brief
it's that untainted view from the vistas that explodes our eyes wide
the starfish waiting out on the shoreline to get swallowed by the slow rolling tide

dynasty struck down with two swift movements
follow that breadcrumb trail of influence
i get so overcome by the newness
that every time i close my eyes i hear music
