Words To The Wind - Bedtime For Charlie
Never thought I could make the difference in this world
I never claimed to be the element of change
Still waiting for the bus watching buildings turn
To dust
Our glasses cracked our machines covered with rust
Waste it all on words
So wise and boring
Turn your head and run
The same old story
Obsolete and blank
Is it so fun to
Preach and hide your hand behind your back again
Forget the sinking ships back to 1986
Enjoy the ride watching others turning tricks
So get back in the line here's your slice of humble pie
But make it last you won't get another try
Waste it all on words
So disappointing
Same kids taking turns
And finger pointing
On and on again
The same old story
Preach and hide your hand
Just hide the goddamn hand
We long to praise the light of day
I won't participate won't sing in the rain
Just make it fun
Suck on your thumb
And shed a tear while staring at the sun
Waste it all on words
So understanding
Rush and lay the terms
Just knock and come in
Now we know your plan
Is it so fun to
Preach and hide your hand
Preach and hide your hand
