If you hate the taste of wine
But do you drink it till your blind
And if you swear that there's no truth
Then who cares
How come and say it like you're right
Why are you scared to dream of god
When it's salvation that you want
You see stars that clear
Have been dead for years
But the idea just lives on
You know the wheels that roll around
As we move over the ground
And all day it seems we've been in between
The past and future town

We are nowhere and it's now
We are nowhere and it's now
And like a ten minute dream
In the passenger seat
While the world was flying by
I haven't been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime

I've been sleeping so strange at night
Side effects they don't advertise
I've been sleeping so strange
With a head full of pesticide

I've got no plans and too much time
I feel too restless to unwind
I'm always lost in thought
As I walk the block to my favorite neon sign
Where the waitress looks concerned
But she never says a word
Just turns the jukebox on
And we hum along
And I smile back at her
And my friend comes after work
When the features start to blur
She says these bars are filled with things that kill
But now you probably should have learned

Did you forget that yellow bird
Oh how could you forget your yellow bird?
And she took a small silver wreath
And pinned it on to me
She said this one will bring you love
And I don't know if it's true
But I keep it for good luck
