it's been tough to converse
I didn't feel like
painting a smile on my face
in every life there's a stack of dirty days to wash
but I never saw your hands working in the dirt
now my life
they 've never been any brighter than this
shiner than this
now my days they've never been any shiner than this brighter than this
so this is the return
this is the return
the return of the dish washer
this is the return
this is the return
the return of the dish washer
merciless you have been
like a ray of sun hitting the face of a drunk sleeping on the beach
what i am getting at is that you didn't break my spirit
i just changed the numbers of the lock on my heart
now my days they've never been any wiser than this
finer than this
now my days they've never been any wiser than this
brighter than this
so this is the return
this is the return
the return of the dish washer
this is the return
this is the return
the return
of the dish washer
the triumph of the shoe shiner
the epiphany of the comb seller
the satori of an acrobat
state of grace of an immigrant
the triumph of the shoe shiner
the epiphany of the comb seller
the satori of an acrobat
state of grace of an immigrant
my return
this is my return
my return
this is my return
my return
