you don’t tell me anything
that’s not a dream
that’s not a big lie
you’re not going anywhere
you don’t care
you think that’s fine
you don’t owe me anything
you’re offering
it’s already mine
your best friend is everywhere
they don’t care
they think you’re slime
you don’t even know
what it means to take your own advice
and then
expect me to look surprisedafter awhile you know their style and that’s enough to know they suck
and when you know they’ll stop the show because they know you know
I know it’s sad but don’t feel bad they knew they had it coming
after awhile it hurts to smile and if you laugh it’s just a typical miracle~Built to Spill, “Stop the Show”
Last Friday, I skipped watching the debate between Obama and McCain to see Built to Spill perform their seminal album “Perfect From Now On” in its entirety at Terminal 5 in Manhattan. I could hardly have made a better choice.
