lyrics

Yesterday, I found myself back at that down-and-out nickel arcade. Marched myself out into the street because everybody loves a parade. Spend my days in coffee shops and I’m starting to feel like a jerk. This town could be a wonderland if I could only find any work, if I could only find any work. Someone’s gotta give us work, uh, oh. October spent in a rent-a-van ‘cuz we didn’t have nothing to do. We started out in Idaho and back to secret Santa Cruz. The night we played in Omaha nobody saw the show, at all but I think I fell back in love with life while watching Tilly and the Wall, Tilly and the Wall, Tilly and the Wall, uh, oh. I sat you down in a hotel bar. Said I was tired of “Spotting Ships.” I used to love these punk rock girls but now they’re always giving me lip. Yeah, they’re always giving me lip and I’m thinking of jumping ship, uh, oh. When I got back I realized that you can’t always get what you want. It was the night they turned the Blackbird into an Atkins restaurant. You remind me of someone famous but I can’t quite remember who and one days we could make it big if you could only find something to do, if you could only find something to do, you gotta find something to do, uh, oh. We ended up at a smokey bar at a quarter after ten. We said it all would be okay but I thought I’d never see you again. There’s something that’s been eating me and it feels like a heart attack. Now I’m a postcard from the road with a love letter on the back, with a love letter on the back and I gotta send it soon or I’ll crack, uh, oh.
