lyrics

An Indication Of The Tired Human Spirit

Homework boy the clock is laughing
Bad luck has fucked your life in passing
Standing in the playground
Smoking cold air
How did the past get all the way back there?
They talk the same language
In a different way
I have to readjust to what I missed when away
Wherever I go I will never fit in
I got a shy sore from where the new bit in
It's just an indication of the tired human spirit
When everything sounds like a Beck lyric.
