lyrics

I am sitting by the road, watching people come and go,
kneeling in the dirt and broken glass.
Four-ways flashing on the van, while we wait hatching a plan,
in the shade beneath the overpass.
Wish we could stop and press rewind so we could make the show on time,
no we don't like it when our plans are smashed.

How does order settle in amongst the noise, amidst the din,
how do we amount to anything?
Why haven't we all given up trying to fill that half-full cup,
when half of nothing isn't anything?

Now I'm cirling a spot, spinning round the empty spot
where a lover once had laid her head.
Oh how lonelyness can live deep inside a happy skin,
dormant till the proper words are said.

How does order settle in amongst the noise, amidst the din,
how do we amount to anything?
Why haven't we all given up trying to fill that half-full cup,
when half of nothing isn't anything?

Now there are times when you are stuck, waiting for a pick-up truck
in the hairy hands of circumstance
It's a wonder, it's a ball, that anything can work at all
when so much of life is random chance

How does order settle in amongst the noise, amidst the din,
how do we amount to anything?
Why haven't we all given up trying to fill that half-full cup,
when half of nothing isn't anything?
