Lyrics Missed the Boat

While we're on the subject could we change the subject now

I was knockin' on your ear's door but you were always out

Lookin' towards the future we were beggin' for the past

Well we knew we had the good things but those never seemed to last

Oh please just last

Everyone's unhappy

Everyone's ashamed

Well we all just got caught lookin' at somebody else's page

Well nothin' ever went quite exactly as we planned

Our ideas held no water but we used them like a dam oh

Oh and we carried it all so well as if we got a new position

Oh and I laugh all the way to Hell

I say Yes this is a fine promotion

Oh and I laugh all the way to Hell

Of course everyone goes crazy over such and such and such

We made ourselves a pillar

We just used it as a crutch

We were certainly uncertain

At least I'm pretty sure I am

Well we didn't need the water but we just built that good God dam

Oh and I know this of myself

I assume as much for other people

Oh and I know this of myself

We've listened more to life's end gong than the sound of life's sweet bells

Was it ever worth it

Was there all that much to gain

Well we knew we'd missed the boat and we'd already missed the plane

We didn't read the invite

We just dance at our own wake

All our favorites were a-playin' so we could shake, shake, shake

Shake, shake

Tiny curtain's open and we heard the tiny clap of little hands

A tiny

Man would tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all the folks sittin'

Driftin' 'round on bubbles and thinkin' it was us that carried them

When we finally got it figured out that we had truly missed the boat

Oh and we carried it all so well

As if we got a new position

Oh and we owned all the tools ourselves but not the skills to make a shelf with

What useless tools ourselves
