Fools
All the pictures in the room
Show different sides of you
Riddle me to dust and pass on through

We were many states away
With colas on a summer day
Pedals raising dust away we flew

Trip to the corner store
Pay with the change-
We knew you before

Within stained shirts
We skinned our knees
The self-conscious new england boys
We'd grow to be
Don't let this child's heart become obscene

In towns as black as cloth
The match was struck at dawn
And moved us towards all that was to follow
All we'd find
The way you look today
The way you looked back then
Makes me wonder what it was that followed
In those times
In towns as black as cloth
Something pushes on
I'm closer to the edge, covering my eyes
La la la we're gone

The match was struck at dawn
And moved us towards all that was to follow
All we'd find
The way you look today
The way you looked back then
Makes me wonder what it was that followed
In those times
In towns as black as-

Speak to the day we sail away
Moving on, it's ok
As our unstrung words fly in the air
Moving to declare what we have seen
I can't attest, try to be sure
We'll undo this dark ruse

The match was struck at dawn
And moved us towards all that was to follow
All we'd find
The way you look today
The way you looked back then
Makes me wonder
Times that I knew you before
We fled to the streets and absorbed
This dark ruse
