lyrics

Morning came slow-- I was still dreaming
It was the dream, not the day, that tasted real
The shock of return here has me reeling
I'm on a hill, in a car without a wheel

Everyone and their mother says it'll be hell to pay
Oh I know-- I knew it all along
So why do we stay, why do we pay
Months turn to years while our minds slip away
Oh it's not forever, baby, but it's home

All of my friends are on the G train--
Except for Fox and Chris-- they're at my house.
They're looking for faster ways to get there
And for better ways to live than hand to mouth

Everyone and their mother says it'll be hell to pay
Oh I know-- I knew it all along
So why do we stay, why do we pay
Months turn to years while our minds slip away
Oh it's not forever, baby, but it's home
It's not forever, baby, but it's home

Really enjoyed these songs; kudos and thanks. The liner notes amplified the experience for me (both wonderful and that Chris Doyle has a way with both words and keyboards.) Oy! What a cover design! Matthew Schwach
