lyrics

There’s a woman in my back lane, who screams into the empty night
Something about the changing face of everything she knew as right
So be careful what you say to her, she only wants to find
Those fleeting faces from before, that keep slipping from her mind
Then she will be happier… those memories to last forever more

There’s a guy in my front yard, he jumps the fence and hangs around
He mostly whispers to himself of battleships that ran aground
And he still believes in Superman, and it’s just as well he might
That man of steel might not be real, but my friend with second sight
Knows something that I don't know, something that I just don’t know anymore

‘Cause underneath your bravest face, good fortune favours your boldest moments
Pins and needles tear our skin, and change my mind on what’s important
The only true words we just spoke, were…
I don’t what, I don’t what, I don’t what matters… anymore (repeats)
