lyrics

I have seen the sun go / up and down and I know
every street that old star / will show me

see the sidewalk / see Marie’s Saloon
see the jukebox filled / with your father’s tunes

holding on is hard enough / without a hurricane above
in between the land and sea / the darkest storm
you’ll find me

In a broken town / I’m broke down
cry too soft / laugh too loud
tell that joke / tell it twice
first time laugh / then you cry
then you cry

Oh, I get by / I kill the clock by wishing
for nothing / nothing

behind painted windows / busted lights but shadow
share the night / where I’m a shadow, too
walked upon the worn / road where you were born
Katie sailed to sea / left a locust storm

the sea is still / the sea is red
the sea is far above my head
what’s the harm in giving in / I’m going down
before my death

in a broken town / I’m broke down
spin that rusted wheel around
upon the spokes / hold a stick
you can hear the minutes tick / minutes tick

oh, I admit / I kill the clock
by wishing for nothing / nothing

every sorrow sold / was not worth weight in gold
you borrowed and you stole / what was for free
give it back to me / on the count of three
watch the world burn / call it comedy

look, another broken bird / falling from the sky to earth
here, the lightening lasts all day / we fly our kites
the people say

in a broken town / I’m broke down
every queen tires of her clown
spend your time stacking sticks / throwing stones and laying bricks
smoke too many cigarettes / watch the sun up in the west
dig a hole and crawl on in / tell the lord too tired to sin
playing them losing cards again / roll them bones one time then
one time then

oh, once again / I kill the clock
by wishing for nothing
