Simon Joyner - The Pa**enger lyrics

I woke up on the wrong side I didn't apologize The way I feel is groundless I mean it's written in the skies And I could take my chances And ask myself to change But nobody ever dances these days And we don't sing in the rain Time is nothing personal I took time out to be polite They arrested me for forgery Because I got it right And I might be in prison Where they tally time with chalk Because nobody follows the birds these days Everyone would rather walk The leaves are doing somersaults Since summer's hair went gray They look for any reason at all To bow their heads and blow away And I brought along the evidence This camera behind my eyes But everyone needs documentation these days Nobody is reading minds A bluebird ate a spider All the worms stayed underground And I once loved a woman Who never made a sound And it might have been for always But luckily it rained Because nobody has any patience these days We all want something in between I know an aging doctor I let him read my chart Then he shined a light right through me And it came out question marks And then he shrugged his shoulders and said Go forth and run and hide But you're just like all the others I've seen A skeleton inside I saw my friends jump overboard The ship forgot to look Then the pa**engers got out their microscopes To see just who the water took And I would pledge allegiance To that lifeboat on the sea But everyone wants to be dead these days Or else they want to be free
