Same Old Dance
I’ve been looking for my brothers all over town
ever since our world came crashing down.
Who fell first, who fell last, it’s hard to tell
when everybody’s swimming in the same wishing well.
We just gotta have the vision to see the shape we’re in.
Too much confusion under everybody’s skin.
Who we are and where we’re from it’s hard to tell.
Got a lot of people with answers to sell.
In this hall of shadows the mirror lights the space.
The only reality you see stares you in the face,
in the face.
It’s the same old dance everywhere I go,
face to face and toe to toe.
What I’ve got to say you already know.
When it turns out wrong, well, you told me so.
Is it them, is it me? We’re all chasing blame down a dead end street.
Is it them, is it me? We’re all chasing blame down a dead end street.
As she sat wishing somehow she was someplace else
I said, looks like you’re lost in yourself.
She said, yeah, you ought to know, it’s the same old shit.
I said it’s time to get over it.
She wanted to know what I had to sell.
Who’s been hurt worst it’s hard to tell.
Just another day in the reality wars,
fighting for control door to door.
In this hall of shadows the mirror lights the space.
The only reality you see stares you in the face,
in the face.
It’s the same old dance everywhere I go,
face to face and toe to toe.
You blame me, and I’ll blame you.
We’ll take each other back an eon or two.
Is it them, is it me? We’re all chasing blame down a dead end street.
Is it them, is it me? We’re all chasing blame down a dead end street.
I’ve been looking for my brothers all over town
ever since our world came crashing down.
Who fell first, who fell last, it’s hard to tell
when everybody’s swimming in the same wishing well.
In this hall of shadows the mirror lights the space.
The only reality you see stares you in the face,
in the face.
It’s the same old dance everywhere I go,
face to face and toe to toe.
What I’ve got to say you already know.
When it turns out wrong, well, you told me so.
You blame me, and I’ll blame you.
We’ll take each other back an eon or two.
It’s the same old dance everywhere I go,
face to face and toe to toe,
face to face and toe to toe,
face to face and toe to toe.
