Tom Catmull: music and lyrics

kiss me once when the sun goes down
for another long goodbye
and I'll waist my time pouring old red wine
and watching hard earned money dry

can we cut through life like a butter knife
fighting gravity in june
or will the autumn wind tell an old mans grin that the end is comin soon

well you don't, but you would if you could and you will someday when a train rolls by
but the world don't turn on steam or coal
or the salt you will not cry

fun machines
fueled by funny dreams
kill the night from ten to two
while the amber flows
right in time then slows
right in time to dry your shoes

did you drink too much
in the third set clutch
did the gears not shift too well
did you drive all night
towards a dim green light
or was it yellow, who can tell?

well, you didn't but you would if you could and you will someday
when the band no longer plays
but the smoke and gin is gonna bury you deep
under a steady gig one day
yeah, the smoke and gin is gonna bury you deep under a steady gig one day.
