After All (Midnight)
These shoes have seen it all
I imagine them appalled
But still they follow
like a lemming to my fall
Been labeled second best
All lights are comin’ red
I’m in trouble
It’s the clearest thing you’ve said
and by tomorrow
there’s a bounty on my head.
Bad news
Follows
I’d try to
apologize
but no one has ears
Sad news
It hollows me out
till I’m bonless
and petrified
And who has time for all of that?
Not me.
In a barely noticed grave
We can learn now to behave
but don’t bathe in sorrow
it’s a path we shouldn’t pave
By this time tomorrow
There’s no question that I’ll stay
Bad news
follows me
and I try to
apologize
but no one’s got ears
Sad news
it hollows me out
till I’m boneless
but never really petrified, see
I’m all about this now
(You’re a fool for being here)
I’m such a crowd please, now
(You’re embarrassing yourself)
I’m all about this now
because after all, it’s midnight
and we’ll have time for all of that
You’ll see.
