Dignity

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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)

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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)

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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
