lyrics

I like almost anything that's old, except for leaky roofs and plumbing problems
In old apartments
And my eye has been well honed from digging through other people's garbage to find their
Secret compartments-
Ancient letters and compromises, packed in boxes, strange surprises

You're an atom bomb in a still frame
You're the scariest collection
Of scar tissue (but I'm not here to mercy-kill you )
Ya emotions are a school bus with a drunkard at the wheel

Seems I let your pen and paper in and then your hands and feet as well
What a brilliant citizens arrest!
Like a revolution mob you punched my common sense right out-
Almost convinced me it was for the best
We all bite the bullet where we're soft
I kept my promise, you kept yours,
To tell the truth at any cost-

You're the metaphorical expert
You're the scariest collection
Of scar tissue (but I'm not here to mercy-kill you)
Ya emotions are a school bus with a drunkard at the wheel.

How can you love another person if you haven't truly learned to love yourself?
How do you ever find forgiveness if you' e never learned to pardon someone else?
And can you learn what generosity is even when you still deny your need?
How do you ever get a meal if all you do is bite the hand that feeds?

You're an atom bomb in a still frame
You're the scariest collection
Of scar tissue (but I'm not here to mercy-kill you )
Ya emotions are a school bus with a drunkard at the wheel

Emotions are a school bus with a drunkard,
a drunkard at the wheel
