And trench on the table
And try to turn the tables
Baby now eat your Kid Cuisine
That there'll ever come a tummy when you're cold and hungry.
Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely.
Better steaks will come our way
Better things will come our way
But don't think it's Kool-Aid.
But don't think it's too late.
Gonna make a right, but not right now
Gonna make it alright, but not right now
How the hell did we wind up like this
And why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
The crap on the table.

And why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables?
How the hell did we wind up like this
With you on the table?
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able?
I cut a leaf and you reach for me
I go to leave and you reach for me
I go to read but you reach for me.
I go to leave but you reach for me.
I go to sleep and you reach for me.
or
I couldn't leave when you reached for me.
I go to leave and you reach for me.

I know you wanna ring away.
I know you're wondering when.
I know you want a railway.
I know you're wondering when.
I know you want a ring to wear.
I know you're wondering when...
I know you want to ree away.
I know you're wondering when.
I know you're wandering around.
I know you're wondering when.
I know you're wandering away.
I know you're wondering when.
I know you're wondering away.
I know you're wondering when.
Just like a papercrack knob hole.
Just like a paperback novel
Lady body riddled the mantis.
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Let's rewind and end it at this
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Let's rewrite an ending that fits

Let's rewrite an Andy McFitz
Instead of a Hollywood horror.
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror.
Let's rewrite an ending named Fritz
Instead of a Hollywood horror.
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror.

But not right now, I know you're wondering when.

We'll take a swim in a deeper sea

You had it all but did not know
You said, 'You walnut, stay by my side.'
You said, 'You wanna stay by my side.'
You were sublime to let me go
You were so blind to let me go
