lyrics

Colleen, are you wasting your time,
all dressed up for the longest wait of your life,
like a setup that wanders the streets looking for a punchline?
Colleen, are you wasting your time,
holding on til the swaying feeling subsides,
til the disparate moods settle into a rhythm & rhyme?

I see that bridge. I see those lights,
I’ll take my money on down to the other side.
I couldn’t wait for the cars to arrive.
I see ‘em outside.
The way we get out and the way we get by,
I’ll take my body on down to the other side.
Won’t ask you to pray. Won’t ask you to cry.
I’m at peace with myself some of the time.

Colleen, are you wasting your time,
all dressed up for the longest wait of your life,
a series of shapes that so desperately crave a design?
Colleen, are you wasting your time,
holding on til the swaying feeling subsides?
If you turn on it now, do you think anybody would mind?
Colleen, are you wasting your time,
almost ready to follow the waves at quayside?
Let the salt lick your tongue like a prizefighter tasting his prime.

I see that bridge (etc.)

Oiseaux are Paula, John, Leo, Gage, and Jon. ... more
