What a thing to be a witness to the sunshine
What a dream to just be walking on the ground
What a time to live among the ash and remnants of our love

That came before and Iâ??m still looking for that now

It took centuries to build these twisted cities

It took seconds to reduce them down to dust
And all the tour guide could say was take your pictures folks itâ??s late
And try your best please to remember what was done


Donâ??t look so forlorn
Donâ??t you look so scared

Donâ??t get so upset
This world was never fair


But there are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
There are hundreds of ways

Now you just find one

I used to think that time was of the essence

Now I just wish I could get some sleep
All this strange parade of sounds
The city makes when I lie down

Little explosions that set fire to my dreams

Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor

And I guess that I can see it from the side
Maybe no one really seems to be
The person that they mean to be

I hope I am forgotten when I die

Donâ??t contradict me

Donâ??t make me cross the line
If you feel threatened
Itâ??s only because I might


But there are hundreds of ways
To get through the day

But there are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
Yes there are hundreds of ways

So you best find one

All my heroes theyâ??re all talk

Running in circles
Some stop, watch, some chaos
Love was the message, full stop


We ramble on and on
We ramble on and on

Hey!

I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina

Sold them out in Bakersfield for cash
Now the bandshell had a band
Sound like an arcade in Japan

Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back

Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence

A sociopath riding on a bus
And his irises are black from his novelty contacts
He looks around but he canâ??t see the rest of us


In my sunglasses
Donâ??t mind the blinding light

Yeah itâ??s getting dark, bro
But I've always loved the night


But there are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
There are hundreds of ways

To get through the day
There are hundreds of ways
To get through the day

There are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways
To get through the day
Just find one
