deep dish

Lyrics

cold and drizzly night in chicago's deep dish, fluorescent light of the bathroom, shows my hands as they are, see an eyelash on my cheek, pick it off and make a wish, and walk back out into the bar, wind at the windows, neon lights the patterned pane, the waitress wields the weight, of her tray around her palm, the doorman cups his hand, and lights his cigarette again, and the rain marches on, this is only a possibility in a world of possibilities, there are obviously there are many possibilities, ranging from small to large, before long there will be short, before short there was nothing, when there was nothing, tehere was always the possibility, of something becoming what it is, don't even bother trying, to say something clever, clever is as clever does, no matter what it says, i'm looking for a sign, says you're for real this time, but i don't trust what's in your head, i walk up to the bar, and point to the top shelf, and then i throw my head back, and laugh at myself, i raise a toast to all our saviors, each so badly behaved, it's too bad that tehir world, is the one that they saved, there's a spider spinning cobwebs, from your elbow to the table, while my eyes ride the crowd, in a secret rodeo, i smile with my mouth, lift my watch up to the light, say oh, look, i have to go, now you got to dance with me, now is when, it's gotta be, cuz i can't wait for the dance floor to fill in, if you want to dance with me, i'll show you, how it's gonna be, cuz i can't wait for the bad to begin
