Long In The Tooth

This old argument, this same old fatigue
I’ve been stumbling, wishing my way through these weeks
This old apartment, this same old belief
I’ve been hoping and wishing you well

A caricature so benign!
I’m feeding you patience while you feed me lines
Tomorrow’s ahead standing tall!
We’re long in the tooth but we’re short in our crawl

Just one more hour, then just one more week
Silence so loud that I can’t get to sleep
The train rattles my bed and it rattles my brain
My intentions are pure but I feel so deranged
Watching, empty, pendulum swings!

We’re all moving underground
And nobody turns around
We’re all moving underground
And nobody turns around

Feet on the ground and I’m feeling each day
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat
So steel yourself for the fall, with our backs on the wall
We know nothing but nothing’s complete
Feet on the ground and I’m feeling each day
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat
So steel yourself for the fall, with our backs on the wall
We know nothing but nothing’s complete!

Bleed to meet demands, tethered to your precious grains of sand
Pleading with a motionless heart, beating seamlessly
If only going through motions I’ve learned
Feeding endlessly these parts we’re forced to play

A caricature so benign!
I’m feeding you patience while you feed me lines
Tomorrow’s ahead standing tall!
We’re long in the tooth but we’re short in our crawl
Silent, binding!

We’re all moving underground
And nobody turns around
We’re all moving underground
And nobody turns around

Feet on the ground and I’m feeling each day
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat
So steel yourself for the fall, with our backs on the wall we know
Nothing but nothing’s complete
Feet on the ground and I’m feeling each day
I repeat, I repeat, I repeat
So steel yourself for the fall, with our backs on the wall we know
Nothing but nothing’s complete!

With no will to break!
In chasms we bloom!
Harvest the moon!
Harvest the moon!
Harvest the moon!
