about

Probably my favorite off the record. It does kind of go on, and on though.

I was really into the whole "bass chord" thing. -Felix

We don't play this song enough. -Anthony

lyrics

I saw a man the other day
with a cardboard sign and scars on his face.
He asked me for some change.

Now I just sit, and wonder when
I'll get my chance to be like him.
And I just watch my world go by.

I have a fear of what could be.
Beggars can't be chooses.
I guess it takes sometime to see.
Try to compromise with me.

I saw a man the other day,
he got in the bottle's way.
Now he'll never be the same.

And in a room with all my friends
I feel alone it seems, again.
Don't let me out, just make it stop.

This and those, I must confess.
That diamond ring I bought you has turned to brass.
And like so many things in life,
you'd rather be blind of what you're wise.

When will I be writing cardboard philosophy.
To you it's the end.
To me it's worth it, and I'm loosing all' my friends.
