Folie à Deux
Reading on the bus was not for meI couldn’t focus on the things I meant to seeSo took a walk around the blockFilled my head with what you saidNow those faces breathe inside me on my way
Come on the lights, I thought that we were friendsNow I’m sitting here toe-tapping every bendTook so long to pick my dressThat boy did I almost forgetThat I needed this to get me through the day
It’s just another catch to make but no one knows their namesIt’s just another show to play, swings through the roof again
The rhythm’s looping round and round our headsAnd the carriage shakes in time with every single word we’ve saidThe parson smiles with gleeOn the calm of this here greenSun is shining, fire’s burning, it’s serene
I tell you I don’t care what they may sayThere’s no time to sit around in here and hope and beg and prayDo you think they’ll celebrate usDo you think they’ll give a damnShow the most of all you have and all you can
I know it’s wrong but shall we take this stopThen at least we might leave here with a pocketful of changeAnd if we take our chancesMaybe we can run awayPack our bags and feel the breeze of the highway
It’s getting round my headFrantic words that have been saidThey’ll surround my every moveThe more I think about itI wonder, what if we embrace itTake the time to guide them through
And if we steal a friend or twoWho knows what we may do to our circusFound our purposeIt’s our way
