What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The answer came like a shot in the back
2
While you were running from your lesson
3
Which might explain why years later all you could remember
4
Was the terror of the question, plus, you weren't listening
5
You were stockpiling canned goods
6
Making a bomb shelter of our basement
7
And I can't believe you let the moral go by
8
While you were soaking in the product placement
9
Where was your conscience?
10
Where was your consciousness?
11
And where did you put all those letters
12
That you wrote to yourself but could not address?
13
I'm a good kisser and you're a fast learner
14
And that kinda thing could float us for a pretty long time
15
Then one day you'd realize you've memorized my phone number
16
And you'll call it and find it's a disconnected line
17
'Cause I got tossed out the window of love's El Camino
18
And I shattered into a shower of sparks on the curb
19
You were smoking me weren't you? Between your yellow fingers
20
You just inhaled and exhaled without saying a word
21
Where was your conscience?
22
Where was your consciousness?
23
And where did you put all those letters
24
That you wrote to yourself but could not address?
25
There's a smorgasbord of unspoken poisons
26
A whole childhood of potions that are all bottled up
27
And so one by one I am dusting off labels
28
I am uncorking bottles and filling up cups
29
So go ahead and have a taste of your own medicine
30
And I'll have a taste of mine but first let's toast to the lists
31
That we hold in our fists
32
Of the things that we promise to do differently next time
33
'Cause the answer came like a shot in the back
34
While you were running from your lesson
35
Which might explain why years later all you could remember
36
Was the terror of the question, plus I'm not listening to you anymore
37
My head is too sore and my heart's perforated
38
And I'm mired in the marrow of my
39
(Well ain't that)
40
Funny bone learning how to be alone and devastated
41
Where was my conscience?
42
Where was my consciousness?
43
And what do I do with all these letters
44
That I wrote to myself but cannot address?
