lyrics

Mist and pale green scene unveils
The washed-up weekend catch
Gets a half-good plan
But has to throw the whole thing back
When the pond dries up he turns into a sadsack

Hops the bus going the wrong way
Rides backwards around the town
Overhears an empty song full of empty words
Something about, quote, "strangers in this town"
And he feels stranger every time he goes out

Puts all his petty opinions
Into an endless letter
People say they love The Rings of Saturn
But Austerlitz is actually better
When he thinks about it, he won't remember

Mist and pale blue eyes align
The misadventure of your life
You could be someone you can't explain
Turn over another old refrain
Could it be something you have to rearrange
Could it be something you don't know to say
