Greatness picked me up by the ankle, cast a sincere glance at me, Shook it's head, it's eyeglass fell, tossed me into obscurity. Obscurity put me somewere safe for later use, I couldn't take the abuse. Laziness wrapped it's arms round me, rocked me to a sleep, Tried to wake me with a worrying thought but I was gone too deep, And deepness sucked me well within, Then threw me in the litter bin. Strike a light, burn the match, Seems to me life's just like that, We're spent matches. Intelligence kept me at arms length, it didn't want me near, The more I tried to access it the more I sensed it's fear, And fear took a hold of me and turned my spine ice cold, But spineless is a gift of mine, I fear I'm growing old. And oldness ran a race with me, from birth till the end of time, I reckon we were neck and neck, but oldness crossed the line, And madness played a trick on me, it played a clever game, It let me believe that I was fine, not totally insane. Strike a light, burn the match, Seems to me life's just like that, SongtexteWe're spent matches. Now strength has never been a friend of mine, But I use it to my advantage all the time, And consequence released its' grip on me, The accent's off, it's just obscurity. Strike a light, burn the match, Seems to me life's just like that, We're spent matches. Strike the match, blow it out, Seems to me without a doubt, We're spent matches. Put it out, toss it away, How many times do I need to say We're spent matches? Lighted once, burn out quick, The consequence just makes me sick, We're spent matches. La, la, la, etc.. Spent Matches.
