Dignity
Lost boy
With the shreds of your shoes on your feet
And the schoolgirls call you a freak
Long gone
With all that you are in a bag
(Watching you fumble)
And a paper cup held in your hand
You have your pride
You're standing your own ground
Your dignity will never go
And your mind is pretty sound
You stare at the sun
You screw up your face and
Then, you're done
Lost soul
Camped at the side of the road
And the rain rises up through your toes
Brave man
With the egg running down past your nose
(The future was yours)
All the troubles you've had (how it came down to this)
No one knows (nobody knows)
You have your pride
You're standing your own ground
Your dignity will never go
And your mind is pretty sound
You stare at the sun
You screw up your face and
Then, you're done
Outside where the traffic cowers
And the past begins to fade away
Tell yourself it's just what the thunder said
So pack up your belongings, and stop talking with yourself
All the friends I have, I made you a list
Even if it's true, they don't all exist
(All the friends I have, I made you a list)
(Even if it's true, they don't all exist)
Slack jaw
Will you tell me of all that you were?
And the promises you made to her
Drink up
You can tell me of all that you've seen
While we wait for the light to turn green
You have your pride
You're standing your own ground
Your dignity will never go
And your mind is pretty sound
You stare at the sun
You screw up your face and
Then, you're done
With the shreds of your shoes on your feet
And the schoolgirls call you a freak
Long gone
With all that you are in a bag
(Watching you fumble)
And a paper cup held in your hand
You have your pride
You're standing your own ground
Your dignity will never go
And your mind is pretty sound
You stare at the sun
You screw up your face and
Then, you're done
Lost soul
Camped at the side of the road
And the rain rises up through your toes
Brave man
With the egg running down past your nose
(The future was yours)
All the troubles you've had (how it came down to this)
No one knows (nobody knows)
You have your pride
You're standing your own ground
Your dignity will never go
And your mind is pretty sound
You stare at the sun
You screw up your face and
Then, you're done
Outside where the traffic cowers
And the past begins to fade away
Tell yourself it's just what the thunder said
So pack up your belongings, and stop talking with yourself
All the friends I have, I made you a list
Even if it's true, they don't all exist
(All the friends I have, I made you a list)
(Even if it's true, they don't all exist)
Slack jaw
Will you tell me of all that you were?
And the promises you made to her
Drink up
You can tell me of all that you've seen
While we wait for the light to turn green
You have your pride
You're standing your own ground
Your dignity will never go
And your mind is pretty sound
You stare at the sun
You screw up your face and
Then, you're done
