What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You were up to your necklace in drunk friends and wreckage when the New Year
2
Stepped out of the past through the rose colored glass and dropped you off here
3
With a broken kazoo, a faded marijuana tattoo, and confetti in your hair
4
Now you're Jesus' age, but you've only been betrayed by the calendar
5
Your mother remarried after your father was buried in this sailor's suit
6
Now she sells real estate, he floats in his grave, and neither has much to say to you
7
So you follow a cloud to a Betsy Ross shroud and see the wind try to rip it in two
8
But it don't make you feel any better when you're under the weather and it's hanging over you
9
It's fading
10
So what are you going to do now?
11
All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
12
But you're thinking of throwing in the towel
13
Roll on
14
Mystery is bandaged with routine, Plaster-of-Paris, and mosquito net
15
While paint thinner blades strip the windshield of salt cake and sunset
16
Someone once said the humble would stumbled onto something long forgotten and ravaged,
17
But your dreams soak the pillow just as a thimble of rain feeds the cactus
18
So drain your bruises, cut your scapegoats loose and confess ignorance
19
Pull a metaphor out of a river or a door and add your fingerprints
20
You could always go west just like the rest and bury your head into the hot sand
21
Or you could dust your broom and dissolve the moon on your eyelids
22
It's fading
23
So what are you going to do now?
24
You're either laying low or chasing smoke
25
Or thinking of throwing in the towel
26
