LyricS

There was always someone pulling the strings
In the old days when we were dancing
And singing till our throats got sore
Who in their right mind would ever go and look for more
But this is now and that was all before

There was always someone watching us play
In our desert sandbox
Crying when the wind blew sand in our eyes
We’d set aside a pile of sand whenever anyone died
And then one day we went out to explore

When we got snowed in in Laramie in the early days of May
There was something taking care of me and you wouldn’t you say

There was always a story pointing the way
And we’d sit together reading
And scratching our beards and our chins
We used to keep a running count of everyone that loses and wins
And we could be forgiven for not learning from our sins

When we got snowed in in Laramie in the early days of May
There was something taking care of me and you wouldn’t you say
Well the second singularity was a million miles away
But it wasn’t far enough away and now we’re gonna pay

When we got snowed in in Laramie in the early days of May
There was something taking care of me and you wouldn’t you say
Well I know you’re not aware of me, we’re a million miles away
But we’re never far enough away and now we’re gonna pay
