Standstill

lyrics

At night it was the sort of heat that makes half-moons feel full.
That's when they thought they'd got me beat, just like in raging bull.
But smoke got in their skies, I guess, the suspect's fled the scene.
He had a good disguise, I guess, and time did intervene.

The day I bought a weathered box of good morality
That's when they thought they'd figured out my genealogy
But bark up the wrong tree they did, I know that for a fact.
And in the canopy I hid, long branches they attract

The stone weighed lightly in my hand
they'll teach me how to throw it
best aim right at at the one-man band
and then I'll be a poet.

The evening that I thought I knew what I was hoping for
was when they came into my house, broke right through the front door
they'd tapped into my telephone, who thought I'd fall for that trick
the album that I played turned on, the sound of tearing fabric.
