lyrics

Checked the store windows before they opened
After spending years waiting and hoping
Gathered up my friends, “Hey, have you seen this?”
Notes hand-carved from the desk of a genius
Rolls of pennies I got from the bat next door
Just enough to buy what I was looking for
I ran home with my prize package flailing
I waited, we all waited, and you failed me

What am I listening to now?
‘Cause it’s not a waltz, it’s not a waltz
How could you let us all down?
‘Cause it’s not a waltz, it’s not a waltz

Track by track, I was wracked with confusion
All bogged down in your new dissolution
Thought of past lives, the poetic master
Now it’s turned around, you selfish bastard
How would you like it if we all betrayed you?
Was it easier when all the suits paid you?
Hope you like it when your friends all start sailing
I waited, we all waited, and you failed me

Breathe in, breathe out, check in, check out
Punch in, punch out, sell in, sell out
Now it’s in, two, three, out, two, three
In, two, three, out, two, three
Out to be out to get out

Forget the waltz, don’t live for the waltz
‘Cause it’s not a waltz
