Every word I said was true
Though I told you only lies
As I stared into the ceiling

All these things you claimed were wrong
Like you'd be better off if you just moved along
There's always one more train

And all these things I said were fine
They just move further down the line
So I sat and watched them go

And I've got hollow bones of birds
Cast off like they were only words
Like you never saw it coming

All these bright cinema stars
Well they all die in their cars
In the burning flesh and chrome

And I know the camera's flash
Seems so bright and sharp and fast
If you never see it coming

That night alone there in the rain
They shut down all the trains
Just to make me walk

So I stumbled home alone
Shined like freshly minted bone
And I dove off of your sidewalk

And every word I said was true
Though I told you only lies
As I stared into the ceiling

And all these things I thought would change
Well they all just stayed the same
And you never see it coming

And then alone there in the rain
Yeah they shut down all the trains
Just to make me walk

So I stumbled home alone
I shined like freshly minted bone
And I dove off of your sidewalk
