Soft Rock Band

Well, it's play time in exile And the weather is hot So dream my recollections from the parking lot I know time is a straight line But I'm looking for curves So I got down on the gravel And I dig through the Earth 'Til I find the last cityscape Where it once was Haunted by eucalyptus And the ghosts of the gums I'm the silence, I'm the revelry I'm a shit talking melody Oh, I might have seen it all But I know, oh, there's still so much to go Oh, oh, I might have seen it all Well, the moon's just a sliver Helps me see my own grave With lockers and the boxes of things that I say And the paper, and the plastic Trace it backwards past Showed my father was a spy But my mom taught math And our daddy was in the gold rush Right before he went to war But these days he shoots a laser I don't know who for Now I collect key cards from Holiday Inns Or cigarettes and scratches that I can't cash in There's only so much carbon Hope Jesus is a real man Maybe he was a peasant Gladiator contest It's proven by DNA test And I know There's still so much to go Yeah, no, I might have seen it all And I've been in the backroom And I've been on the stage And I've felt the heat coming off a blank page And I was a pen once with ink in my blood And I was the moleskin that I couldn't afford And I've been the Narcan And I've been the coke And I've been the punch line And I've been in on the joke Oh, and I was a woman once And I'll never forget 'Cause I keep searching for that feeling, haven't found it yet Oh, and once I was a Christian, but I prayed it away And I guess that I was straight once, right before I was gay Oh, and when I was in government, well, it could've gone worse But I settled into martyrdom, and I fell for the curse And we started our family Don't we love 'em to death? Oh, but now I'm the mortgage, I'm the credit card debt Oh, and I am the clouds, raining down on the lands I think once I was a singer in a soft rock band No, I'm not in trouble You know I miss my network And you know I miss my bubble And I keep them all inside me Oh, I know I might have seen it all Oh, I know, there's still so much to go Yeah, I know, I might have seen it all Oh, I know, there's still so much to go Yeah, I know, I might have seen it all Oh, I know, I might have seen it all And don't I know, there's still so much to go And yeah I know, I might have seen it all Don't I know, there's still so much to go I might have seen it all But I know, there's still so much to go
