Late-Century Dream
Well you never did like the way the road stretched out Never knowing where all these oily black threads are tied Under the lights of a spaceship landed On the ice of a curve unsanded There's a clover leaf That'll wreck your life And everybody lives in a knot Everybody lives in a knot Everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got Everybody lives in a knot Everybody lives in a knot Everybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got It was never better It was never any better But a nation is not soothed When they tell her And the doctors all look shocked But everybody grows up weened on some sick late century dream Or the happy face on a shirt smiling "shop till you drop," yeah Everybody lives in a knot Everybody lives in a knot SongtexteEverybody's trying to make space around what they think they've got Everybody's trying to hold on to a dream even as they watch it rot ta da da da...
