Sidetracked

We've all been sidetracked like hubcaps on the side of the road
Like dust asphalt ornaments rattling in the margins so cold
We've been through this city a time or two before
As brooding Gothic concrete smiles and sweeps us under the rug

Don't look now I feel like we've been here before
On and on and on
We're going the right way on the wrong side of the road

Frustration sets in and smolders like a damp cigarette
Because sunlight causes cancer and that might be as good as it gets
The drip of the faucet the tick of the clock
Counting your steps across the cracks in the sidewalk
And on and on with the desperate singing of swans

Don't look now I feel like we've been here before
On and on and on
We're going the right way on the wrong side of the road

It was a beautiful sky hanging over my head
And the moon from the window stretched over the bed
It was too little too late, and it all happened at once
As days stretched to weeks and the weeks into...

Don't look now I feel like we've been here before
On and on and on
We're going the right way on the wrong side of the road
