Till Question Marks Are Told

Lyrics

Well you've reached the end but you can't be sure If it's the right apartment or the right floor If you stick around where you are right now You just fall through the ground 'cause it moves anyhow Were you going somewhere sooner or later Or just pushing all the buttons on the elevator You gotta' have free will to live your pre-planned life You gotta' pay the bill or you get unsubscribed And the zeros you've found There's still more zeros to find So keep your ears to the ground And your nose to the grind It's a liberty bell that rings a dial tone And a living hell played on a stylophone So you never win, but you hate to lose And its bad or worse, that's when you've gotta choose Either death or pain for how your check is cashed Either knife or fork for how your neck is slashed Who wants a blow-up bed that guaranteed to leak? Who wants a life that dead a little more each week? And the zeros you've found There's still more zeros to find So keep your ears to the ground And your nose to the grind What makes an arm unfold is in the elbow joints Till question marks are told as exclamation points Like how much fire hides in a book of matches Or has this singer died beneath the record scratches And how I rue the year, I'm liable to feel dumb How I chewed my tears up into eyeball gum But it's nature's way, the way it neatly fits And then it's nature's way to make a faulty pit And the zeros you've found There's still more zeros to find So keep your ears to the ground And your nose to the grind And when you reach the start you're small but not alone You walk a street of hearts installed as cobblestones Sunk into pavement glass up to the edge of you Until the dangers passed across the avenue And if your bed got flipped beneath your ancient dreams And if your head got tipped beneath the patients' streams And if your hands got rinsed as they so often did That's all they glimpsed after tearing off the coffin lid Asleep with nothing to find And with nothing you've found With your ears in the grind And nose in the ground
