lyrics

I think of everything most of the time when it’s tomorrow, and I have absolutely nothing on my mind when it’s today. So, we start it all over again. We start a song but I’m already gone, thinking only what I thought of yesterday; I cannot make my little fingers play. There’s a ghost that haunts this very stage, although he acts only half my age; It’s me, it’s me after only 28 years. I hear the angel band singing my last song, but they’re getting all of the lyrics wrong. I scare myself—now if I could only scare you, but that just wouldn’t do. I think of all the things that I will never see before tomorrow, and then of all the things that will not look at me when it’s today. So, we start it all over again. We start it strong and I sing it too long, hoping everything will somehow fade away and I will somehow be alive another day. There’s a ghost that haunts this very stage, although he acts only half my age; It’s me, it’s me after only 28 years. I hear the angel band singing my last song, but they’re getting all of the lyrics wrong. I scare myself—now if I could only scare you, but that just wouldn’t do.
