The Expanding Man

This is the fade of the expanding man
A hipster is fading to dust
That shape is the shade of where I used to stand
Memories are starting to rust

Learn to work the playing field
Always live just what I feel
The cracks and flaws will be revealed
As I die behind the wheel

There's a name for holding on
You cling too tight, you stay too long
You win you lose and then you're gone
Just call it Deacon Blues

You call me a fool, point at my crazy schemes
It's clear I'm a man out of time
But this one's for real, can't give up on the dream
I'm ready to walk that fine line

Learn to work the playing field
Always live just what I feel
The cracks and flaws will be revealed
As I die behind the wheel

There's a name for holding on
You cling too tight, you stay too long
You win you lose and then you're gone
Just call it Deacon Blues

My back to the wall as I cling to it all
I'm a victim of one laughing chance
Still chasing these dreams like a viper that crawls
This is the essence of true romance

This is the fade of the expanding man
Sue me if I've held on for too long
The clearest of paths never lead where you plan
I die each night I sing this song

Learn to work the playing field
Always live just what I feel
The cracks and flaws will be revealed
As I die behind the wheel

There's a name for holding on
You cling too tight, you stay too long
You win you lose and then you're gone
Just call it Deacon Blues

Learn to work the playing field
Always live just what I feel
The cracks and flaws will be revealed
As I die behind the wheel

There's a name for holding on
You cling too tight, you stay too long
You win you lose and then you're gone
Just call it Deacon Blues
