Trout Fishing In America Spider's Fence
Nothing lasts forever, forever don't last long, It is over in a heartbeat-- Over with the singin' of a love song. Angles in the canvas try to minimize the threat, And time's a lovely filter, And I can still recall the fears that I felt. Chorus: Dance your way through the spider's fence, And never look Medusa in the eye; You might call it something else, But no matter what you call it, it's goodbye, yeah-- I saw the image in the mirror, didn't recognize myself, Severed from a childhood and it seemed like someone else, Picked up all the pieces, put that box back on the shelf, And just kept goin' on, I kept goin' on; Just kept goin' on, yeah yeah yeah, I kept goin' on. I opened up that closet, and here I stand again, Doesn't look so bad now, And all my years of exile seem so well spent; I thumbed through yellowed pages, the books I used to read, Tryin' on an old suit, And all those broken promises that would never keep. Chorus:
