Tracing names of the dead You read left In wet cement Sometimes the words Don’t mend The cracks in the concrete Falling for Every trick You’ve got Hidden up your sleeve But it won’t matter much After all, it’s such a stupid game Hey! So say it like you mean it Pour out your heart and soul Bask in all the glory Until the cracks, They start to show John and Linda fled, You said, Off to Paris, France A Crowe in Connecticut Took flight A chance to start again Wore out your Welcome fast New York, A place to start again But it won’t matter much When your life is just a stupid game. Hey! So say it like you mean it Pour out your heart and soul Bask in all the glory Until the cracks, They start to show (E: Go ahead and tell me your name I’m not inclined to) (J: With all your chances Have you ever found a way out?) (Ed: Take, take, take what’s been coming to you Fake, fake, fake what you’re going through Mistake, mistake, mistake what you thought you knew Slip through your hands like I’m vapor) With all your chances Have you ever found a way out? Hey! So say it like you mean it Pour out your heart and soul Bask in all the glory Until the cracks, They start to show Oh Until the cracks, They start to show
