Yo-Yo Tricks

I could come from any direction that I wanted to
But I won't tell you
Lies about a world that I almost knew
To sell my songs to you
And I see you early in the morning taking bottles back
After your party
Someone's passed out in the back of your Cadillac
And driving off so fast

And they'll ask, "Where are you going?"
You'll say "I don't know but I have to get there"
A light shine through the snow
You'll hear voices laughing
"You'll be back here, you'll come back here
Don't think that you won't"

So when you see me on the corner
Doing yo-yo tricks for all the new children
They'll be the same ones I had in '96
I've got nothing new

But in the end like the beginning
There is trust and sound and no convolutions
If your head hurts while you're singing
Take a look around, get back in your shiny car
Tell yourself again about how your engine's faster than my heart
