lyrics

well here we go again
it's richard dreyfuss at his table
he's making images out of clay
his family wonders if he's stable
cause there are mashed potato sculptures
on the kitchen floor
and he keeps making them though he's not even sure
why he does
it's just because

well I have seen the map
I know just where this road will lead me
it started off so quietly
it ends up much less innocently
cause there is no how are you
that can be answered much at all
an inch becomes a mile, a mile becomes a hole
it's small at first
but it gets worse

and when the doorbell rings
it's you or the jehovahs
you're the only ones who still are fool enough to try
I never answer cause it's you or the jehovahs
and there's nothing left that you could say
that I would believe in now

it was so long ago
why are you taking second chances
you're on a fishing expedition
messages with false pretenses
you left some stuff here
and I'm sure you'd want it back
I'll bring it by your place if that's still where you're at
how 'bout today?
already on my way

She sings the things you won’t say aloud, of the foolishness, the hopefulness and the almost unbearable humanness of us all. ... more
