about

Andy, like many others, is devoted to a lack of self-awareness, yet never frowns

lyrics

Though i know i won't get that far, i'll be a smooth operator
if that gets me a start- in the race towards the bottom of your heart!
Thought i'm not on a violent thread, i'll burn a bridge!
and beat upon my chest!
if THAT'S the man to best!
i got NO money, but that's OK!
i'll bail you out of county and spot you more cocaine!
(....till the fever starts to fray....)

now i've been running around, uptown
with the soles upon my shoes worn right on through
and no crown upon my head can shield me from the rain
inbound near everyday i find i'm falling through
climbing faster of the ivy walls
you're shadow in a ray of sunlight calls on out
past me

i know no matter the speed i run
i'll never catch what's hiding behind the fleeting sun
the fool that i've become
i've made my peace and apologized
to free a soul reserved for a mirage built 'round your eyes
staring into mine
now people look to me like i've grown
and marvel at the clothes that are hanging off my bones
i put 'em on for you when i left home

now i've been running around, uptown
with the soles upon my shoes worn right on through
right down to my aching bones still waiting for you
but I've found I've built myself a comfortable charade
to lay down the wants and wares i never would have made
my own, without a summit like your loving hold
