A kettle of different fish

The test begins, now
I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight, I thought there was a
Virtue in always being cool, so when it came time to
Fight I thought I’ll just step aside and that the time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool

I don’t know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it’s all a mystery

Oh to fight is to defend if it’s not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man, for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment, oh that I, I
Was the fool

I don’t know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it’s all a mystery
And I don’t know how a man decides what right for his
Own life, it’s all a mystery

Cause I’m a man not a boy and there are things
You can’t avoid you have to face them when you’re not prepared
To face them,
If I could I would but you’re with him now it’d do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him, I let
Him take it

I don’t know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it’s all a mystery
And I don’t know how a man decides what right for his
Own life, it’s all a mystery

The test is over, now

All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
“and it’s ok to laugh about it”
I said, “it’s ok to laugh about it”

Runnin’ twice as fast to stay in the same place
Don’t catch my breath until the end of the day
And I’d rather be sot in the face
Than hear what you’re going to say

One day the wind will come up
And you’ll come up empty again
And who’ll be laughing then?
You’ll come up empty again

No reason no explanation so play the violins

It’s always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it’s just hilarious!

You beat me every time you blink
if only I did not have to think
Think about you crackin’ a smile
Think about you all the while

On the ricochet it’s going to hit you
It’s always funny until someone gets hurt

Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow

A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you I am just a man

Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow

-And every night I shut my eyes
So I don’t have to see the light
Shining so bright
I’ll dream about a cloudy sky,
A cloudy sky

“Man was born to love-
Though often he has sought
Like Icarus, to fly too high
And far too lonely then he ought
To kiss the sun of east and west
And hold the world at his behest

To hold the terrible power
To whom only gods are blessed-
But me, I am just a man”

—And every night I shut my eyes
So I don’t have to see the light
Shining so bright
I’ll dream about a cloudy sky,
A cloudy sky

And every night I shut my eyes
But now I’ve got them open wide
You’ve fallen into my hands
And now you’re burning me
And now you’re burning me
