Rubber Band Man

When you can't win for losing

And the beggars start choosing the chaos in your head

Calls the cracks to start showing

All knowing, all glowing with the light of the-

Dying to raise the dead, oh

You're a world away

But you're still the same

I know you by your heart

And I will call you by your name

It's a long way

From the crack to the break

You know that I remember everything

Steady yourself

And your tumbleweed words

Be a street corner preacher

Or just feed the birds

But don't hold to yourself

With hard mortar and stone

Be a rubber band man

Make the water your bones

Dying just to live now

You're a world away

But you're still the same

I know you by your heart

And I will call you by your name

And it's a long way

From the crack to the break

You know that I remember everything

When I said, "Forever"

You said, "Get back in the car"

Nothing lasts forever, babe

You know it breaks my heart

And I'll call you anything

That you like

And I am free and I'm able

To call you the second that you die

Just to live now

You're a world away

But you're still the same

I know you by your heart

And I will call you by your name

And it's a long way

From the crack to the break

You know that I remember everything

When I said, "Forever"

You said, "Get back in the car"

Nothing lasts forever, babe

You know it breaks my heart

You're a world away

But you're still the same

You know that I remember everything

A new ink on your skin

Red lips in the dark

Nothing lasts forever, babe

You know it breaks my heart

Put a shiver on your skin

Do your hair in the car

If nothing lasts forever, babe

Then can we make a start?
