Restorations - The Reappearing American Hobo
Lost like a dollar in a game of roulette
Sitting next to all the fancy chips
I said, “hey, I can sympathize.”
But I was really just acting the part
She closed the book and conversation in one move
Saying, “no, man, you really can’t.”
And how much can you get
For a dollar and some cents?
We can ask for pardons when
The mayor calls it in
Then she turned away and said:
“I hope you never live to see the days I had
Huddled for warmth inside a bin.”
And then I looked away and said
Absolutely nothing, just thought instead
How good I’d always had it, who I’d been
I called her bluff but thеn she went all in
And to think it at started whеn I said I didn’t like Kerouac

You’re the kind of dream A song with no strings You could write it all down And its function remains to be seen You work an awful lot for just a little And I ask you what it

They’ll keep making money if you do it They’ll make even more if you don’t They’ll take your whole day away It’s okay Be certain that they’ll call you in On the day that you
Restorations - 800
You call in, 800 You tell them your new name Slice it down the middle Your burned out eyes burn into mine It’s all gone in the middle of the night When we’re all just
Restorations - Big, Dumb
I was lurking in the back Hoping for the hits Struggling towards the speed limit I was lurching in the back Trying to spot the difference Fumbling for some RPM
Restorations - The Cost
You and I got tongue tied We got it twisted You and I got tongue tied On no Used to want to settle it But something spooked the horses And I don’t really know
Restorations - Someone Else's Dream
On most days I hear the highway And you just leaving for work You wonder but it makes more sense That it makes no sound at all And that’s the thing What did you
