lyrics

maybe there is no softer landing
i mean right down at the source
what we have might be unpleasant
just truly unpleasant

maybe there is no better contract
the figures all shake out the same
there is a foot or two of ice here
that's all the difference

i know a lady who swallowed a bottle, a brown horse, a fly and a bag
i know a lady who swallow a birch tree, wet concrete
and died of WHAT WE LEAVE LYING AROUND

try pretty hard
do what you can
try pretty hard
some of us just aren't gonna make it

everything looks as if it's sleeping
if you look from far away
and if we fall, may we rise dripping
defeating and angry, but glittering

this may be our one great triumph
this may be our only triumph
if we fall may we rise very hard
defeated and ashen, but glittering

i know a guy who could swallow the seasons, the joints between never and when
i know a guy who could swallow his own arm and still manage a grin
AS IF BY MIRACLE

try pretty hard
do what you can
try pretty hard
some of us just aren't gonna make it
