pushing stones
to the side of the road burning gasoline
i know it's a joke
but it's i spend my time these days
twisting dust
up in the air and into your mouth
it's nothing personal
i just do what i'm told these days
too clever by half
and all i can do is laugh
watch the stones now they're rolling back
imagine me
happy if you can
pushing stones
drawing lines in the parking lot
burning gasoline
watching the tide rise and recede
breathing smoke
in and out replacing nicotine
i know it's a joke
i get what i want but never what i need
and what a waste
did i leave a bad taste in your mouth
it's just the way
i escape when there's no way out
i just do what i'm told these days
