Catch Somebody

And the repeating drum
In my chest says I still live
Though I expect it's wrong
I draw breath and gather up, make the most of it
Enact a scene
Pick my feet up off the ground
And relax my jaw
Maybe cut some teeth on a familiar drawl

Good ends through good solid means
I'm reminded of my enemies
I'm supposed to love them all
I'm supposed to care for every individual soul
When I can hardly step outside
Without the weight of the world
Crashing down on me
Is that a fair assignment?

Somebody needs to know
There's not an island as sunny
As a friend who shows up
When you're down and need some money
I want you to know
You can rely on me, honey
Some of us catch the boat
While the rest just catch somebody

I never feel this dumb
Without a clever moment missed
Looking out for more
Without a clear idea of what had come before
I stepped in shit
As I collided with a whoreson
Of an atom bomb
(I'm not making this up)

There's no real as good as counterfeit
I get by while getting half of it
Is that advice we want?
Is that advice or someone cashing in in the song?
Well, I can see you're in the dark
Without a glimmer of hope
Accept your wildest dreams
(Yeah I just need your signature right here, yep that's great)

Somebody needs to know
There's not an island as sunny
As a friend who shows up
When you're down and need some money
I want you to know
You can rely on me, honey (You can rely)
Some of us catch the boat
While the rest just catch somebody
While the rest just catch somebody
While the rest just catch somebody

And the repeating drum
In my chest says I still live
Though I expect it's wrong
I draw breath and gather up, hope the slipper fits
Last Hallowe'en
I poured one out for all the boys
And the house grew dim
And I was full of noise

Good ends through good solid means
I'm re-visiting my abc's
I'm supposed to live, laugh, love
I'm supposed to care like when the days went alphabetical
Well, I can't see you in the dark
Without that glimmer of hope
Outlining everything
Is that enough to start with?
