lyrics

You built a shelter of conviction to keep away the howling confusion
But I sensed your desperation when you asked me to come in, share a cup with you, tell you that you know where it's at but you don't know

It's that lake that you can't see from your Lakeview apartment
Or some kid in a three-piece suit trying to talk to you about modernism
Or a train I barely missed, the door it stood wide open
Now I'm standing on the platform wishing I'd never quit smoking

There's a dangerous woman she's bugging me for answers
Asks impossible questions like why do I own so many pairs of sunglasses
And I said, "Darling, these are difficult times and it makes me feel better to accessorize."
Come on let's decorate the wreckage
I don't know

It's that lake that you can't see from your Lakeview apartment
Or some kid in a three-piece suit trying to talk to you about modernism
Or a train I barely missed, the door it stood wide open
Now I'm standing on the platform wishing I'd never quit smoking
