Hanging bones like paper dolls And posing by museum walls A forest of quotation marks Where minnows masquerade as sharks And every line is well rehearsed And everyone in line is first it's Almost like you really care Almost like you really hear Almost like you're really there Almost like you're really here Dressed just like a skeptic But you tow the party line You have no dialectic but You know the secret sign And every line is well rehearsed And everyone in line is first it's Outskirts and concentric rings Follow you they follow you Shallow cuts and childish things Follow you they follow you Scratch the surface just like this
Follow you it followed you Shadows of a cla** dismissed Followed you it followed you While it's no surprise I'll try to be Kind to your disguise just another Plot to subdivide pa**enger Just waiting for a ride down around the Corner now they say that you never Ever saw the train leave without you Try to place a call to that picture Hanging on the wall same old message No one there at all there's no answer Scripture known by rote by this time there's Nothing left to quote but your skin a Scribbled sheet for notes incoherent Charm will steal your time Just as time will steal your charm
