you ask what I’m thinkin’ but you don’t wanna hear it
why did you ask me?
maybe you know what I’m gonna say and that’s why you fear it
you’ve already past me
but I can see clearer now
from behind
and the traffic on the street today moves just like a caterpillar
but not as colorful
and everything was inch by inch except for the ambulance
whose siren was wonderful
and I just watched it leave
from behind

Chorus:
and your story might be gory but that’s alright
I will help you wipe up all your
spilled warm beer
when you think you’re always wrong
somethin’ ain’t right
what I don’t say is what I want you to hear

sometimes the only way to see is by closin’ your eyes
and look at all those comin’ and goin’ crazy strange spots
and you ask me "what gives" and I say "I do"
so how can I sympathize
when you say you feel you’ve been left behind

Chorus
