What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I watched the dust pile up around you
2
And your hands became so small
3
It was clear that year you were waiting
4
For way more than a call
5
You asked for smoke, you asked for silence
6
You rode 'round sofas stuffed with straw
7
While the sun burned through the curtains
8
All along that western wall
9
That scene became a ritual that fall
10
That same sun became a ghost
11
And when you see you don't believe
12
That anyone has any
13
Warmth left up their sleeve
14
Even your good blood gets dried up
15
It gets swept up with the leaves
16
To reveal some old graffiti we can't read
17
So put a shine on your black shoes
18
Push your black buttons through
19
I never knew what you could do to you
20
Well honey shine your black shoes
21
Oh you had some information
22
That you turned into a hymn
23
That you sang into the answering
24
Machines of all your friends
25
But they never got the message
26
For their ears are all of tin
27
We all write letters we never send
28
Well now the cyprus stands around you
29
And I hope that you feel safe
30
It's a painting from an auction
31
At some wasted old estate
32
Yeah they're always finding life
33
They never knew survived this place
34
And I hope the sunlight clears the branches to your face
35
'Cause when the clouds clear
36
The freezing winds come down that mountain's face
37
But there are streets we haven't walked
38
At night you can see this town from space
39
So put a shine on your black shoes
40
Push your black buttons through
41
I never knew what you could do to you
42
Oh honey shine your black shoes
43
Push your black buttons through
44
You never know what you can do for you
