I watched the dust pile up around you[00:00:11]
And your hands became so small[00:00:17]
It was clear that year you were waiting[00:00:21]
For way more than a call[00:00:26]
You asked for smoke you asked for silence[00:00:29]
You rode 'round sofas stuffed with straw[00:00:34]
While the sun burned through the curtains[00:00:39]
All along that western wall[00:00:43]
That scene became a ritual that fall[00:00:48]
That same sun became a ghost[00:00:56]
And when you see you don't believe[00:01:01]
That anyone has any[00:01:06]
Warmth left up their sleeve[00:01:10]
Even your good blood gets dried up[00:01:14]
It gets swept up with the leaves[00:01:19]
To reveal some old graffiti we can't read[00:01:23]
So put a shine on your black shoes[00:01:31]
Push your black buttons through[00:01:42]
I never knew what you could do to you[00:01:49]
Well honey shine your black shoes[00:01:57]
Oh you had some information[00:02:27]
That you turned into a hymn[00:02:31]
That you sang into the answering[00:02:35]
Machines of all your friends[00:02:40]
But they never got the message[00:02:44]
For their ears are all of tin[00:02:49]
We all write letters we never send[00:02:53]
Well now the cyprus stands around you[00:03:02]
And I hope that you feel safe[00:03:07]
It's a painting from an auction[00:03:11]
At some wasted old estate[00:03:15]
Yeah they're always finding life[00:03:20]
They never knew survived this place[00:03:24]
And I hope the sunlight clears the branches to your face[00:03:29]
'Cause when the clouds clear[00:03:37]
The freezing winds come down that mountain's face[00:03:41]
But there are streets we haven't walked[00:03:46]
At night you can see this town from space[00:03:51]
So put a shine on your black shoes[00:03:59]
Push your black buttons through[00:04:10]
I never knew what you could do to you[00:04:17]
Oh honey shine your black shoes[00:04:25]
Push your black buttons through[00:04:36]
You never know what you can do for you[00:04:44]
