McBushwick Strut (Laugh Lines Live) Lyrics

Stumbling down the line

Tangled in that web you spun

As the threads of your designs

All come undone

Changing the course

And breaking the pact

That you made with yourself

When that self was intact

Are these the deeds that feed me

Or just debts to the past

We lean on fleeting contexts

But can we ever stand

Well, you've gone and thought yourself

Into a hole again

Caught between the means

But without the ends

But in the end

It will all unfold

And come full circle

And be nicely tied in a pretty bow

Just like your favorite TV show

Convenient and sweet

And so far removed from reality

But like with all truths

We pick and choose

Hoping the real and ideal

Someday will fuse

Well, you've gone and thought yourself

Into a hole again

Caught between the means

But without the ends

Feeling our way through the dark

For a brighter muse

Hoping the real and ideal

Will fuse someday

To light the way
