lyrics

I ventured down the musical highway last night
There were scattered wrecks who used to dream and play and laugh and sing
But they decided on the safety of their tangibility and a day job.
While a beautiful guitar gathers dust in a far-forgotten corner of their brick veneer home, somewhere in suburbia.

Everybody’s got a story to tell, and I know you remember just when you fell
So I’m thinking all those dusty guitars should be played tonight.

Ten thousand stories of the first time that you held her
Your eyes would shine like mercury for her touch and smell
And the cold day in hell when you dust it off and play a chord
A passenger in time or just a memory?

I met a man who held some banknotes in his hand
And he shrank the room deep in consolation
He said envy’s just a coin’s toss you know there is no pity lost
This is just an energy; just like what you’re feeling.

Don't fight the break of dawn, look out your window and I'll be gone
