Will find peace on the paper tonight
Like it makes a difference
If they live or they die
And Iāll stay up till 6 A.M.
Killing words and re-writing them
Like it makes a difference
To the publicās eye.
Try hard as I might
I can not write a song without a name
I am alone and thatās OK
I will live life in my own way
I will eat breakfast after sunset on the fence
And I will let rebels disobey
And I will let angels sit and pray
But I will not settle for a life without suspense
And thatās the difference
My feet, they are naked and cold
While the sky, like a halogen bulb
Works to make a difference
I watch the morning glisten
Now I know that the things Iām missing
Are not as bright as I thought theyād be
Theyāre not as bright as me
And itās One Hundred And Six A.M.
But this songās still my timeless friend
Herein lies the difference
Because you know, youāve got to listen
To yourself when youāre reminiscing
Iāll take my time writing this down
Iāll be writing it down
Iāll be making it up, though.
Thatās indifference to a story that was told to you
By a world with the point of view
of a horoscope
Their leaps of faith and misplaced hopes
Their penitence is worse than their thrones.
