lyrics

Reborn in the beam of the flashing neon lights
Inhaling the steam of a city summer night
There's a brick on my back, an itch I gotta scratch
It's a recurring dream
The comfort of someone saying
"I see the same things you see"

One can half-empty and the other is half-full
No need to decide because you just drank them both
Things are always better before they become
Not as good as they used to be
It's got you feeling so dazed and dumb
Hindsight is WD-40

And now you wanna get out
Before the afterthought comes around
And rewrites so much of the plot
That you don't know what it's about

Like a landmark it's forever been around
Some still preserve it, some say it deserves a hole in the ground
It fits like a glove, hits like a drug, it's like the word that makes the rhyme
And every single night they lay it all on the line
And they don't even mind if they don't make a dime

And now you wanna get out
Before the afterthought comes around
And rewrites so much of the plot
That you don't know what it's about
