Verse 1

Back of your mind

  You're counting it down

  You want what you want

  You're not worrying now

  Taunt the TVs

  Left, right, left

  Hear the lights change

  And hide in your head

  You slide off the side

  And curse in your sleep

  You kiss your clay lips

  And kill the canteen

  So now its all gone

  It's all leaving or left

  The bees will die out

And you'll wonder who's next

Chorus 1

And so as part of the whole

  You try'n let go of

  All that you can't control

Verse 2

(same as verse 1, sometimes he plays the chords an octave higher)

Cause you spent all your spin

2004, but nothing much changed,

And nothing felt sure.

Except maybe one thing

One ominous fact

So you checked yourself out

With the crowd that's rolled back

While you're waving goodbye

Clouds grouped in white flags

Prospectors line up

Cuffed jeans and messenger bags

Seeing memories sold

Grave plots in the glow

Cafes and condos

Watch'em go watch'em go, oh

watch'em go, watch'em go

Chorus 2

(same as first until noted)

And so as part of the whole

You try'n let go of

All that you can't control

So most of you stay

You settle in waves

Complacently asleep

Or a quarter awake

 Keep down the dertif' in your brain

You can't take

Truth you can't face

Truth you can't fake

You gotta face it, oh

  You gotta face it, oh

  You gotta face it
