lyrics

I might always be cannon fodder
While you brush your teeth
Wasted running water
I just blow by
Sliver candle smoke
I catch no eye
Hungry lover, losing hope

She sent me to find
A life with all this suffrin' left behind
And I found a cure
Blank your mind and unemploy it
Make a living, then destroy it
All your skill is not enough
Your skill, it is not enough
You've got to kill it to enjoy it
You must lose it all to score it
I got my life in my back pocket
What a sham, gold plated tramp

Baby, you and I should land and watch a-far
Twirling you around, dancing on a star

A brush of air gonna keep me on my feet
Can't fight this bear from my settled seat
We shoot to die, we put the chalice to the dream
Why keep your feet on the ground when you born with wings?

She sent me to find
A life with all this suffrin' left behind
And I found a cure
Blank your mind and unemploy it
Make a living, then destroy it
All your skill is not enough
Your skill, it is not enough
You've got to kill it to enjoy it
You must lose it all to score it
While I've got some qualms with that idea,
I've thought, the more I've got, I lose in the end

Baby, you and I should land and watch a-far
Twirling you around, dancing on a star
