lyrics

ARCHAIC SMILE

We did the best we could with everything we had
And what we had wasn't much but what we did, it wasn't bad
Now I can't stay forever but I'll be here a while
With the elements corroding my sculpted archaic smile

Now everyone's a witness to what you made us see
And everybody's an accomplice to the tragedy
And everyone stands trial, subpoenaed of course
They just had to hear your version of the story in higher court

Now I am not a shepherd, but I am not a sheep
But tell me, what's the greater torment, is it to follow or to lead?
The world's gotten smaller since we've been living in this box
But there's no final judgment, no, the judgment never stops

In space it doesn't matter if you're a black hole or a star
And I reread my invitation, it still said, ' come as you are'
But still, I put on my best space suit and Saturn wore her rings
And we rode in on the comet as I dreamed, dreamed of finer things

We did the best we could with everything we had
And what we had wasn't much but what we did, it wasn't bad
Now I can't stay forever but I'll be here a while
With the elements corroding my sculpted archaic smile
