[00:21.12]Well, I'm lost, I'm a frayed[00:24.06]Rope tying down a leaky boat[00:26.28]To the roof of a car on a road in the dark[00:29.04]And it's snowing[00:31.65]If I'm more, then it means less[00:34.86]Last call for happiness[00:36.81]I'm your dress near the back of your knees[00:38.91]And your slip is showing[00:42.21]I'm a float in a summer parade[00:46.17]Up the street in the town that you were born in[00:52.86]With a girl at the top wearing tulle[00:55.65]And a Miss Somewhere sash, waving like the queen[01:04.26]Well beauty's just another word I'm never certain how to spell[01:09.57]Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on[01:15.24]And throw away my misery, it never meant that much to me[01:20.52]It never sent a get-well card[01:35.43]And I broke, like a bad joke somebody's uncle told[01:40.50]At a wedding reception in 1972[01:45.90]Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair[01:51.15]Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed[01:56.43]And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home[02:01.92]And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home[02:07.47]And he thought about how everyone dies someday[02:13.02]And when tomorrow gets here, where will yesterday be?[02:18.60]And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat[02:24.48]Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline[02:30.09]And all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms[02:35.43]And disassembles my despair, it never took me anywhere[02:40.62]It never once bought me a drink
