The high animal spirit of youth, Your old gang's getting long in the tooth In the provincial town You built up and burnt down With your warped and perverted world view So my infinity's bigger than yours? My personality rotted down to the core Your infamy, my fame Your innocence and my blame I'm staring at you but you swear you're ignored The jewel's started slipping from the crown It's falling down How far from the tree Could that apple fall And still be hanging around? Everything here's an exam You had a good chance back then, but you ran To the provincial town where you lost what I found And the fires of injustice are fanned The jewel's started slipping from the crown It's falling down How far from the tree Could that apple fall And still be hanging around? Avarice is timeless The tyrants gather up your diamonds And we join in, in this spineless and disinterested yawn

Holes 02:59
Think we're alone now? You don't see the distance between us It stretches out like oceans around us In need of a friend? They've all gone Over and out by The Weyside More holes for you to get stuck down The things that come from just over my head Make me scared of the holes in the ground I scream at the hollow I'm tongue tied and shallow And can't seem to turn this around Holes in my lifeboats I'm stuck on the wreck left inside me since you've gone We're all older now I'm in need of a friend They've all gone, Over and out by The Weyside More holes for you to get stuck down The things that come from just over my head Make me scared of the holes in the ground I scream at the hollow I'm tongue tied and shallow And can't seem to turn this around The mouse that had roared at all this scorched earth Has turned back to dust in the ground A hard act to follow He's loveless and fallow His head ran his heart out of town

Blown out, ripped up tempers lying spent from the good times Same old helpless worry, coming down cross the state lines A moment of your time, a lifetime of mine Dirty little secrets want to see you come untied I make the waves carry me out to sea The gloves come off in square one "Sir, you're making a scene" The toaster in your bathtub, I'm the fly in your cream I live my life in square one, singing just on the off-chance That someone makes decisions And takes them right out of my hands I make the waves carry my out to sea If anyone's coming, they should have made it by now If anyone's coming, they should have made it by now If I throw enough shit I know some's going to stick I'm square pegs, round holes and I'm twisting to fit If anyone's coming, they should have made it by now I make the waves carry me out to sea

If you think that my arrow's starting pointing down Then sell up, cut your losses and just get out Bad luck spreads out from me like disease You're only gorgeous for so many years Then you're yesterday's news, no big deal A drain on my decaying morality When every hole you find just multiplies The basic facts you know all turn to lies You try your best but nothing's going to make me fall for it So watch your mountain fall You only go so far then you're backing up To the brand new rat trap I'm winding up The convoluted trick held up my sleeve Full steam ahead but the excitement wanes Pulled under by my flood tide waves That swell around this veiled opacity When every hole you find just multiplies The basic facts you know all turn to lies You try your best but nothing's going to make me fall for it So watch your mountain fall
