Shadow Logic

There's only sad songs on the radio
I've got a whiff of the life that you know we want
And you know and I know and you know
That I know
In the end I was the only normal one
The outcast among outcasts
And the work was done and you know that we all wanna go
Go get it
Go for it and run
Don't put on airs about it
They're all the same person
Paddy Chayefsky might have finally sought
There was something wrong
And you know that it's wrong and you and Paddy
Paddy still lives on

There's a shadow
There's an end
And so the logic goes
That even the dark will mend
So the story shows me

I'm looking for that one piece of antiquity
That spoils the better part of my memory
In a box on a shelf in that house
Was a song I had sung
The house itself bears the view of an ocean side
The furniture arranged with care and pride
There's no walls and the roof leaks of heaven
Sunshine tweaking our good times
Timiti's crack
The nephilim's back
Across the great divide, yeah
I said pretty sugar coated please
With a goddamn cherry
Well, vanilla frosted temples
On the cracking cone of morrow

There's a shadow
There's an end
And so the logic goes
That even the dark will mend
So the story shows me

Back in the day when the tall and the short were alike
They said, here's the king with a limp
Let's get him, track him down 'til this town is burned to the ground
To the ground
The dots beyond your irises
My, oh my
Are they blue or grey, because I see the
Fire in your soul, and you're begging for some more
For some more
And what a bore the world was
Back in black and white
A-ha
You said the name
All of a sudden the colors had
Lended all your strength and surrendered
Handed it all and made the best of it forever

There's a shadow
There's an end
And so the logic goes
That even the dark will mend
So the story shows me

The dots beyond your irises
And my, oh my
Are they blue or grey
The dots beyond your irises
And my, oh my
Are they blue or grey
