Everybody’s heroes are dying
Cause they can’t afford to stick around
Everybody who jumps a little higher
Lands deeper in the ground..
Every box is empty
Are we finally moved in
Or are we at the beginning
Of the part where we leave again
I bought six lottery tickets
from the dollar store
Cause i been plumb lucky
Since the day i was born
This world was made to drive you mad;
Every night you make it there’s a whispering tree singing..
Every bar is empty
Cause the drunks are staying in
Every superhero is sleeping
Cause the problems got too big..
One of these days I’m gonna learn
A lesson or three
One of these days I’m gonna learn
How a person should be..
I bought six lottery tickets
from the dollar store
Cause i been dumb lucky
Since the day i was born
This world was made to drive you mad;
Every night you make it there’s a whispering tree singing,
“I can’t stand being here alone, but it’s
All I can do to pass the wind along and back to you”
There’s something in your rose tight hands
And if you let it bloom there’s a bird on the moon singing
“I can’t stand seeing you alone, but it’s
All i can do to pass the wind along and back to you again.”
