Intro :
Doted on like seeds planted i n rows
The un tied shoel aces of you li fe
Nurtured all y ear then pressed in a book
Or dis played in bad t aste at the ta ble
Problems a rise and you fan the f ire
While there's a wild pack of dogs loose in your house tonight.
Cut from bad cloth or soiled like soc ks
Add it up and basically people ne ver change.
They just talk and make plans in th e dark
Or make h aste with ideas that can' t help
But creep good peop le out
As you talk to me too much you're ass uming
We don't always wan t what's right .
Did I strike the right set of chords ? you 're annoyed.
The goa l is to ig nite you then move on.
You feel ill a t ease. you got n o squeeze.
And the wise cracks won 't make you more s table.
You've learned you lines to scale a nd to time.
Why must I rem ind you now i'm only less able.
Cut from bad c loth or soiled like socks
We're ordinary people we can't help but to change
As we walk and make plans in the dark
Or make ha ste with the boy who can't help
But creep good peopl e out.
As you talk to me too much you're a ssuming
We don't alwa ys want what' s right.
Two fallen sa plings in an open f ield.
Snow padding g ently on an empty b ench.
An old woman's j ewelry lying una dorned.
Cold nesting robins allied for th e first time.
I know when y ou hear these sa ppy lines
You'll roll yo ur eyes and say "ni ce try".
