Camera Speed 03:36
I saw you try to write about it by and by I saw you take notes And in between of all the little margin lines I saw the big joke And every day you keep on lookin' at me with the same ol' blank expression on your face And anyway you wanna get around it I can always tell always tell always tell when you play Camera speed Sound check Lights up Keep on rollin' keep on rollin' for me Keep on runnin' Keep on runnin' the scene The cameraman is always such a flatterer He knows your best side and framing you in adolescent canvases so you'll never die And every day you keep up the rehearsing looking in the mirror for little hints Your friends are such a needy bunch of clingers-on sing the song read the blog Someday you'll be just like them

Little girl wanna find it and she don't-don't know how Little boy wanna fight it cuz he oh so proud So delighted you decided to show your face to the crowd And I find that the sinners get by on their own And I find that winners don't mind if you don't but it's got to end somewhere this shit is gettin' out of control And the children sing... If I had a little more money then I'd have a little more time Ya know I hate to worry 'bout money so why is money always on my mind? If I had a little more money I'd have more time for you and we could spend all that money doin' any ol' thing that you like to do because I want it Why don't I own this?! What's worth your trouble? What's worth your trust? If you pay me double I'll tell you once But the old advice is true -- it's gone as just as soon as it comes You can swap that out for a new one Tradin' up a life like you raisin' up a new son Shocked, burnt like a Shogun food-run Are you done with your plate yet? Uh I mistaked ya for a cool one Now the snakes is waitin' on a boot-hunt cuz I want what you want It's true I can't tell a lie or deny the truth so I guess we in the same boat huh? Pioneers out gunnin' for the goldrush although most of us are gettin' coal dust and the coal lungs When the snow comes we'll get froze up Uh And if the flow does too, well... you can go ahead and blame the cash And if the tap starting running again, well... you can take it back

On summer days you used to say "Hold my hand" Fingers intertwined left to right and picking daisies then Put one in your hair then Snap a quick picture if you got film where the petals land On the ground where we step where we sit where you laugh where I ask you a question -- Could you ever go back? From this? From the lack of worry? No You and I Can you think of a better way to make time go by? And when the ground shook I scrambled to try to find footing But what was I s'posed to do? And though I can't always bring back why I'll always remember what I promised you I will wait I will wait for you Now you're far Far away where the sky still turns grey Here I am Perfect blue Every day What's the use? Summer days You used to say "Hold my hand" Now mine are dry and cracked from the time spent chasing hopes holding on to the rope bloody palms so I wrote you a song just to show I haven't forgot And they say when it's gone it's gone But I've never been the kind of guy to take what they say to heart

I saw you on the front lawn with your shoes off tryin' to call up the One I saw you on the front lawn You exhaled Turned the phone off You thought that maybe that old feeling would come back if only you could make the pieces fit You blamed yourself because the puzzle never showed you what you wanted to see in it You was on the way out I was on the way up You was on the way out I was on the way in You was on the way out I was on the way up I just wanted to say don't you worry, because Everybody wants it back now baby Yeah
