It only matters what the linemen do.

When Cinderella dropped by

She tried on some glass running shoes

I stole a glimpse of her thigh

Am I the boy in bubble

Or am I the old man and the sea

Iâve been watching sons of Katy Elder, I like that graceful strut of John Wayne

You know I was born in the suburbs

Though I never understood what sub was

Shopping malls, shiny cars, I felt like a soap opera star

Sometimes what you think is mediocre
O:
Might turn extraordinary someday

What makes you laugh tomorrow
O:
May be the same things that make you cry today

Love yourself, love your neighbor â I love your shoes

Heâs trapped in a world all his own

You stop your medications
O:
Youâll find reality in the marrow of your bones
