Slippin on down into my easy chair
All the channel changes in the world out there
Rag and bone man is shoutin the news
And you know ill believe it
If you say that its true
Still sittin here watchin as it all goes by
A thousand angles of our darkest side
A typical day, mind closed up in a box
Dont the world go round
The writings on the wall
Pre chorus
But the lines are all a mess
Horizontal ripples in a vertical stream
Any resemblance, living or dead
Is accidental, nothings as it seems
Chorus:
Id be lyin, if i didnt ask why
Id be lyin, if i let it go by
I could say it makes no difference how i try
But i, id be lyin
Theres no end to the means, a means to an end
When all you have is yourself as a friend
An angels there, swept beneath your heart
The world before you
You cant look in its face
Moiré lights turn day for night
The blue dog singin in the same blue rain
Theres a lot in life i let slip away
It was compromise through idle eyes
Stretch your mind, not your hand
Makin a list as you walk back the cat
Id be dealin in the wind
