Smarter Hearts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Had a friend who rode the map Used to be a great dancin' king Well, I never saw his car burn down No, he never wore a terry-cloth hat [Verse 2] Knew a girl who knew someone Spoke in detail of the circles she flew around the sun No, I never saw through this lie No, I never saw the burns on her eyes [Chorus 1] You know, history does repeat endlessly It's just that we imagine that we are someone else With multiplied strengths And strides of great lengths And hearts are smarter than before [Verse 3] Would you believe, a bear as dumb as that Who walks, eyes open, twice into the same trap Never heard the gate slam shut No, we never saw the phone line's cut [Verse 4] Had a friend who wove the myth He never been fooled, never been kissed Drawing comic strips of his pain But he's just another sucker, standing in the rain [Chorus 1] You know, history does repeat endlessly It's just that we imagine that we are someone else With multiplied strengths And strides of great lengths And hearts are smarter than before [Bridge] Hearts are never smarter, oh Ooooh Hearts are never smarter oh Ooooh Hearts are never smarter oh Ooooh You know You know [Chorus 1] History does repeat endlessly It's just that we imagine that we are someone else With multiplied strengths Strides of great lengths Hearts are smarter than before [Chorus 2] History does repeat endlessly It's just that we imagine that we are someone else With arrow-proof coats Foolish bravery rising in our throats
