While we're on the subject

Could we change the subject now

I was knocking on your ears

Don't worry you were always out

Looking towards the future

We were begging for the past

Well we knew we had the good things

But those never seemed to last

Oh please just last

Everyone's unhappy

Everyone's ashamed

Well we all just got caught looking

At somebody else's page

Well nothing ever went

Quite exactly as we planned

Our ideas held no water

But we used them like a damn

Oh and we carried it all so well

As if we got a new position

Oh and I laugh all the way to hell

Saying yes this is a fine promotion

Oh and I laugh all the way to hell

Of course everyone goes crazy

Over such and such and such

We made ourselves a pillar

We just used it as a crutch

We were suddenly uncertain

At least I'm pretty sure I am

Well we didn't need the water

But we just built that go god damn

Oh and I know this all myself

I stood in front for all the people

Oh and I know this all myself

We listen while life hangs on

And the sound of life's sweet bliss

Was it ever worth it

Was there all that much to gain

Well we knew we missed the boat

And we'd already missed the plane

We didn't read the invite

We just dance at our wake

All our favorites were playing

So we could shake shake shake shake shake

Tiny curtains open

And we heard the tiny clap of little hands

A tiny man would tell a little joke

And get a tiny laugh from all the folks

Sitting drifting around in bubbles

And thinking it was us that carried them

When we finally got it figured out

That we had truly missed the boat

Oh and we carried it all so well

As if we got a new position

Oh and we owned all the tools ourselves

But not the skills to make a shelf with

Oh what useless tools ourselves
