Closure / Continuation
Lost boy, with the shreds of your shoes on your feet And the schoolgirls call you a freak Long gone, with all that you are in a bag (Watching you fumble) And a paper cup held in your hand You have your pride, you're standing your own ground Your dignity will never go, and your mind is pretty sound You stare at the sun, you screw up your face and Then you're done Lost soul, camped at the side of the road And the rain rises up through your toes Brave man, with the egg running down past your nose (The future was yours, how it came down to this no one knows) All the troubles you've had no one knows (Nobody knows) You have your pride, you're standing your own ground Your dignity will never go, and your mind is pretty sound You stare at the sun, you screw up your face and Then you're done Outside when the traffic cowers And the past begins to fade away Tell yourself it's just what the thunder said So pack up your belongings and stop talking with yourself All the friends I had, I made you a list Even if it's true they don't all exist (All the friends I had, I made you a list) (Even if it's true they don't all exist) Slack jaw, will you tell me of all that you were And the promises you made to her? Drink up, you can tell me of all that you've seen While we wait for the light to turn green (Ah) You have your pride, you're standing your own ground Your dignity will never go, and your mind is pretty sound You stare at the sun, you screw up your face and Then you're done
