the color bars - how can we keep from sinking? lyrics
[verse 1]
becky works for seiu
john, her husband, works for them too
ian works for the state of ohio
and he and catherine just had a child
nate’s some kind of delivery driver
at least ’til amanda’s done with school
and andy bell works in construction
he finds a kind of zen in every power tool
[chorus]
what did that steely wizard say
on that resplendent summer day?
we combed through his every word
but can’t remember what we heard
we took the triangular path
back to our first pre+natal bath
and through the night our voices rang
as seven hundred times we sang the refrain
and we danced, and we danced
and we danced ’til the morning came
[verse 2]
lately our homeric journey
feels more like a parking spot
and we only move the car when they clean the street
billy means has made his mind up;
he wants to leave the firm
but his student loans have grown malignant
like a cancer entering its final term
[chorus]
what did that steely wizard say
on that resplendent summer day?
we combed through his every word
but can’t remember what we heard
we took the triangular path
back to our first pre+natal bath
and through the night our voices rang
as seven hundred times we sang the refrain
and we danced, and we danced
and we danced ’til the morning came
[bridge]
how were we supposed to see
that that wizard would vanish eventually
now our hearts are years apart
but it’s still the same battle from the end to the start
how are we supposed to keep
from sinking into the ocean deep
come what may, though we straight away
will remember what we heard on that summer day
[outro]
all the happiness you seek is in the grass beneath your feet
work your fingers to the bone, but take your rest when you get home
if you fall, try not to dwell on why you slip or where you fell
keep your friends around you and you’ll never sink too deep
