Versuri Deep Dish

 
cold and drizzly night in chicago's deep dish 
fluorescent light of the bathroom 
shows my hands as they are 
see an eyelash on my cheek 
pick it off and make a wish 
and walk back out into the bar 
wind at the windows  
neon lights the patterned pane 
the waitress wields the weight  
of her tray around her palm 
the doorman cups his hand 
and lights his cigarette again 
and the rain marches on 
 
this is only a possibility in a world of possibilities 
there are obviously there are many possibilities  
ranging from small to large 
before long there will be short 
before short there was nothing 
when there was nothing 
tehere was always the possibility  
of something becoming what it is 
 
don't even bother trying  
to say something clever 
clever is as clever does 
no matter what it says 
i'm looking for a sign 
says you're for real this time 
but i don't trust what's in your head 
i walk up to the bar 
and point to the top shelf 
and then i throw my head back 
and laugh at myself 
i raise a toast to all our saviors  
each so badly behaved   
it's too bad that tehir world 
is the one that they saved 
 
there's a spider spinning cobwebs 
from your elbow to the table 
while my eyes ride the crowd  
in a secret rodeo 
i smile with my mouth 
lift my watch up to the light 
say oh, look, i have to go 
now you got to dance with me, now is when 
it's gotta be 
cuz i can't wait for the dance floor to fill in 
if you want to dance with me, i'll show you 
how it's gonna be 
cuz i can't wait for the bad to begin
