A Finer Shade Of Today Lyrics

Just running late

To a feature film on the stars

And the orchestra in four bars

Would they know that there's a

Hidden cost they must pay

Hey what you say?

Up drives a car

Which looks much worse than before

But there's glass and booze on the floor

Said all too late

It's a finer shade of today

Did they not pray?

If you were to walk down the hill

Not to save or to kill

This matter in question

Well he could not fill in the cracks

And he's tied to the tracks

He cried out for help

He did say

So he did survive on a lie

That God said just to fly

From the place that you're trapped

But you don't have a map

For to guide your soul

It feels young

Like a finer shade of today

Young and afraid

You count your faults and your time

Yesterday you searched and searched

For the rhyme

That you may just

Piece together ok

Go your own way

There are regrets

That build up faster than blocks

You did play

With keys that would open the locks

These thoughts belong

To a finer shade of today

It did convey

If you were to walk down the hill

Not to save or to kill

This matter in question

Well he could not fill in the cracks

And he's tied to the tracks

He cried out for help

He did say

So he did survive on a lie

That God said just to fly

From the place that you're trapped

But you don't have a map

For to guide your soul

It feels young

Like a finer shade of today

If you were to walk down the hill

Not to save or to kill

This matter in question

Well he could not fill in the cracks

And he's tied to the tracks

He cried out for help

He did say

So he did survive on a lie

That God said just to fly

From the place that you're trapped

But you don't have a map

For to guide your soul

It feels young

Like a finer shade of today

He throws the bone

It flies like a plane in the sky

The dirt starts to pour in his eye

I can't see for many miles away

He's gone today

If you were to walk down the hill

Not to save or to kill

This matter in question

Well he could not fill in the cracks

And he's tied to the tracks

He cried out for help

He did say

So he did survive on a lie

That God said just to fly

From the place that you're trapped

But you don't have a map

For to guide your soul

It feels young

Like a finer shade of today

If you were to walk down the hill

Not to save or to kill

This matter in question

Well he could not fill in the cracks

And he's tied to the tracks

He cried out for help

He did say

So he did survive on a lie

That God said just to fly

From the place that you're trapped

But you don't have a map

For to guide your soul

It feels young

Like a finer shade of today
