[Verse 1]
Through the wall
In a soft spring rustle
Street-side selling
Some summer hustle
Across the Maple Street Bridge
In a bristling fall
Just whistling all's
A balled up riddle
Just a high snowball
On a curve-and-fall
Through a parking lot
At Christmas
I heard her whisper
I heard him call
Here's what the gist was:
[Chorus 1]
Only wary in our lives
Open-eyed and half-ashamed
That is to say
Afloat on a ferry, freezing, tired
Fully wired, a total waste
That's where the spirit left us
[Verse 2]
Underneath the house
Just like a flame-out teen
Who smells like sweat
And gasoline
(Kid, I stand with you)
And when you get hard
And your eyes get mean
'Cause you're on the march
Well, I could almost kiss you
Don't let them twist you
Here, have this song
You can take it with you
Through the wall
In a soft spring rustle
Street-side selling
Some summer hustle
Across the Maple Street Bridge
In a bristling fall
Just whistling all's
A balled up riddle
Just a high snowball
On a curve-and-fall
Through a parking lot
At Christmas
I heard her whisper
I heard him call
Here's what the gist was:
[Chorus 1]
Only wary in our lives
Open-eyed and half-ashamed
That is to say
Afloat on a ferry, freezing, tired
Fully wired, a total waste
That's where the spirit left us
[Verse 2]
Underneath the house
Just like a flame-out teen
Who smells like sweat
And gasoline
(Kid, I stand with you)
And when you get hard
And your eyes get mean
'Cause you're on the march
Well, I could almost kiss you
Don't let them twist you
Here, have this song
You can take it with you
