lyrics

come on down on silver trays
servers serve in endless ways
clear the stair and clear the days
we've got no plans, I know you like

adjust your 6 string razor blade
bring your disco plates
you Philly girls with your
old fashioned bodies
you like to dance on stage

see your friends across the bridge
heading for their homes
with their homemade reverb coils
and ribbon microphones

all the clouds have left the sky
all the birds have fled
set the plastic soul on fire
with rhythms in your head

but did you ever wonder
how it falls apart?
avert your eyes forever
it's only broken hearts

remember bub we had a band?
you dressed it up in dirty rags
a thousand miles of turpentine
carried me on down the line

and now you're riding border rails
listening to tapes
all your batteries have failed
but it still sounds great

you wrote a song
for me to sing
called say goodbye to everything
you wrote a song for me to sing
put it down and let it be
then tomorrow we will see
and say goodbye to everything
