lyrics

I want to quit,
but every time I'm at the end of my rope,
well, I find there's another rope,
another circle of fifths, another hope

another letter for the printing press to dry clean
another blip, another bloom inside this beautiful machine

I want the truth, the whole, and nothing but the truth,
but every time I get a clue I want for proof,
another neverending story in the hunt, for Mother Goose

another book for the executives to deep fry
another reason to have Christmas on the 4th of july

You want to jet but every compass point's magnetic,
and everything's so copacetic where you're at,
another impossible dream, another flat paperback

another explosion for the industry to shrink wrap
another way to end the day another fade to black...
