trout fishing in america – spider’s fence lyrics
nothing lasts forever, forever don’t last long,
it is over in a heartbeat–
over with the singin’ of a love song.
angles in the canvas try to minimize the threat,
and time’s a lovely filter,
and i can still recall the fears that i felt.
chorus: dance your way through the spider’s fence,
and never look medusa in the eye;
you might call it something else,
but no matter what you call it, it’s goodbye, yeah–
i saw the image in the mirror, didn’t recognize myself,
severed from a childhood and it seemed like someone else,
picked up all the pieces, put that box back on the shelf,
and just kept goin’ on, i kept goin’ on;
just kept goin’ on, yeah yeah yeah, i kept goin’ on.
i opened up that closet, and here i stand again,
doesn’t look so bad now,
and all my years of exile seem so well spent;
i thumbed through yellowed pages, the books i used to read,
tryin’ on an old suit,
and all those broken promises that would never keep.
chorus:
