February 22nd
And lo, the pendulum swings
Tides rolling in same always
You'd think we'd all have learned to swim by now, but
Treading water seems to get us nowhere
Gods amongst men pulling strings
Are but jesters what beg for the microphone
Clowns control the floor
They're unaware
They're all laughing alone
They're clawing, reaching, grabbing at the talking stick
Embarrassing
No decline is ever inconsequential
Same stage, another play with different actors
The story feels the same as in previous iterations
Packed house demands a timely curtain call
This time, it's televised
This changes everything
The front page lights up in our pockets
A disillusioned mantra subsides
All the king's horses and all the king's men
No more escape the limelight
Best laid plans shoulda been thought out more carefully
Nothing more is left to imagination
Same stage, another play with different actors
The story feels the same as in previous iterations
Packed house demands a timely curtain call
This time, it's televised
This changes everything
Now that everyone's awake
Now that everyone has eyes
Now that everyone's tuned in
Now that everybody's watching live
Now that everybody's watching live
Now that everybody's watching
Now that everybody's watching
Now that everybody's watching live
Everyday from here on in will feel a lot like February 22nd
February 22nd
And everyday from here on in will feel a lot like February 22nd
February 22nd
Tides rolling in same always
You'd think we'd all have learned to swim by now, but
Treading water seems to get us nowhere
Gods amongst men pulling strings
Are but jesters what beg for the microphone
Clowns control the floor
They're unaware
They're all laughing alone
They're clawing, reaching, grabbing at the talking stick
Embarrassing
No decline is ever inconsequential
Same stage, another play with different actors
The story feels the same as in previous iterations
Packed house demands a timely curtain call
This time, it's televised
This changes everything
The front page lights up in our pockets
A disillusioned mantra subsides
All the king's horses and all the king's men
No more escape the limelight
Best laid plans shoulda been thought out more carefully
Nothing more is left to imagination
Same stage, another play with different actors
The story feels the same as in previous iterations
Packed house demands a timely curtain call
This time, it's televised
This changes everything
Now that everyone's awake
Now that everyone has eyes
Now that everyone's tuned in
Now that everybody's watching live
Now that everybody's watching live
Now that everybody's watching
Now that everybody's watching
Now that everybody's watching live
Everyday from here on in will feel a lot like February 22nd
February 22nd
And everyday from here on in will feel a lot like February 22nd
February 22nd
