Sunset in eyes
And a rain-coloured version
Of a man disappeared
In some strange tunnel vision on your part
An odd-shaped hole
Around my corner lies tonight
As the credits roll forever
The sky filling up
Though it’s emptying quicker
And the way that I won
Maybe feels kind of sinister, but
Every morning I get up
To get up on camera talking
With one eye opened up
And live like a six-year-old genius
She’s inelegant about the way it hurts to be her
And the way that you talk when you’re falling over backwards to see her
An odd-shaped hole
Around my corner lies tonight
And she seems a lot like Natalie
As the credits roll forever
As the credits roll forever
And I hardly recognize the car

My favourite Tom Waits song might be “World Keeps Turning”. I guess the sentiment kind of stuck. Something about trying to wrestle the real world into a plausible story-arc.
