Yo-Yo Tricks

I could come from any direction that I wanted to

But I won't tell you

Lies about a world that I almost knew

To sell my songs to you



I see you early in the morning taking bottles back

After your party

Someone's passed out in the back

Of your Cadillac

And driving off so fast



And they'll ask where are you goin?

You'll say, 'I don't know, but I will get there'

A light shines through the snow

You'll hear voices laughin



'You'll be back here

You'll come back here

Don't think that you won't'



So when you see me on the corner

Doin yo-yo tricks for all the children

They'll be the same ones I had in '96

I've got nothing new



But in the end like the beginning

There is trust and sound and

No convolutions



If your head hurts while you're singing

Take a look around

Get back in your shiny car

And tell yourself again

Bout how your engine is faster than my heart
