Uncle Tupelo - Steal the Crumbs lyrics

Sidetracked down the middle Never saw it coming but what a surprise It's been a wonder Electricity tells a story It's a sound getting near as fear is watching you It's watching you close You can fight it, both arms swinging Or try to wash it away Or pay up to the echoes of "okay" No more, no more will I see you No more will I see you No more will I see you You've schemed more than you have You've borrowed more than you know Better to steal the crumbs It makes it easier to go Paralyzed by conscience Looking for an opening Apathy as your vocal cords cut out Never thought once to ask how's the temperature Too busy with the finer points Of each struggle we're after No more, no more will I see you No more will I see you No more will I see you So long since I've seen you Haven't we both been living the high life It flows to the bottom No more, no more will I see you No more will I see you No more will I see you
