A dream that once was made for free
Caught up with you to collect old debt
Just like last time -- and as you feel

Deserted dog pain, catches your breathe

Easy choice is to pack and leave,

No one will notice, no one to know
Care catches you by surprise as you flee
and a tear trickles down the bus window


And you take another smile from your face
And you add another mile to take its place

Then you chalk it up to experience
Go and play to a brand new audience


Defeated purpose, sits on your knee
from the very edge of your memory
Your mind feels like a dull edged knife

You'd like to spend sometime not missing your life

Defeated purpose, sits on your knee

from the very edge of your memory
Your mind feels like a dull edged knife
You'd like to spend sometime not missing your life


Once in a dream you called a name
but as a cat laps milk steady stealthily

You're putting on a waterproof coat of shame
Shed no tears, no more names made of dreams


And Now you feel it, but just for a tick
Nostalgia beats the hell out of you
You protect your mind from the swift, hard kick

And you just move on, that's what you do...

And you take another smile from your face

And you add another mile to take its place
Then you chalk it up to experience
Go and play to a brand new audience


Defeated purpose, sits on your knee
from the very edge of your memory

Your mind feels like a dull edged knife
You'd like to spend sometime not missing your life
