What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Perhaps we were cut out of the same cloth or cardboard
2
Or maybe you were carved out of soap and I out of driftwood
3
Maybe we've got nothing in common but a sorrow withstood
4
By distance and devotion
5
My eyes belong to shapes that travel at light speed going nowhere
6
Across the screen of my dreams straight out into the frozen thin air
7
But if you've seen one blow by you're surely lost a dozen somewhere
8
It's a crutch that ain't much for leaning
9
Through my window through the trees there is a train about to leave me yearning
10
With a whistle to stop my heart and coal for burning
11
The four loose chambers while the wheels continue turning
12
And slipping through my fingers
13
So let's drink a little wine while we can
14
Fill our glasses until they spill and say Amen
15
Come on brother go on and cup your hands
16
We'll say goodbye and let it end
17
I've been trying to recall the details of the fall from the apple
18
To the sons of those exiled traced through to the burial
19
Of one single brother who was slain by the other and the evil
20
That spilled into the mud where there once was a garden
21
I thought perhaps you caught your death you wandered and vanished
22
I thought maybe into the vast abyss without so much as a compass
23
But you returned just in time to do a little more damage
24
Like a drum roll at the gallows
25
Now the sky is full of flames that burn and then rain only ashes
26
The thunder sounds tame compared to the heart when it crashes
27
Against solemn sleep as a silhouette creeps down your lashes
28
And the hallways fill up with laughter
29
So let's drink a little wine while we can
30
Fill our glasses until they spill and say Amen
31
Come on brother go on and cup your hands
32
We'll say goodbye and let it end
