De Ja Vu Lyrics

I think I might have passed this way before

About seven thousand three hundred and twenty six days ago

So much to learn so much to remember so many things to ignore

While the pretty people wait for another sale price at the store

The broken wheel of innocence

Lies rusting in a drainage ditch near a roadside

Where an escaped lunatic just killed his latest whore

I think I might have passed this way before

The ceiling fans and crystal chandeliers

Sparkle like the bubbles in thirty one thousand

Two hundred and sixty four bottles of beer

Sacrilegious music programmed by the keepers of our fears

It was in another lifetime but seems like yesterday when I was here

The poison in this ten-cent pen

Keeps dripping blood drops on the parchment

That was once an ancient diary of sagacious lore

I think I might have passed this way before

The fluorescent green exit sign repents

Admitting that eight million four hundred seventeen

People were unable to escape

In the wink of the devil's eye almost too subtle now to sense

The examined their illusions hoping to hack through the red tape

It's a lottery of ignorance indulgence, indifference and diffusion

Where no one who plays the game really knows the score

I think I might have passed this way before

I've been listening to an overplayed refrain

That sounds like seven hundred forty three helpless kitty cats

Caught out in the rain

On an April morning or a September evening

On a starving freshly planted Midwestern plain

That gets repeated just enough times to drive

The hopelessness from by brain

I've been battling the demons who keep washing in like seashells

With the tide upon a lonesome shore

I think I might have passed this way before

I've been flicking on and off the bedroom light switch

Like sixty million four hundred thirty two thousand times

The sun has risen with an itch

It's better to get better than to get obesely rich

It's raining in the land of Oz as Dorothy melts the witch

Too many miles from Kansas now

To remember how it felt to have it all and rarely want for more

I think I might have passed this way before
