Evolution's dead
Long live the dumbest of us all
Drown their python days with cigarettes
And flag pins on the wall
I swore off justice for the gavel
Now I'm feeling pretty tall
Overall
Seventeen with clip-on hair
And daddy's Cadillac
Fill the SS Queen with Dramamine
A logo on the back
I turned my MFA to scrap
For my suburban almanac
In cul-de-sacs
You and I and him and her
Might be the only ones who
See the evening meet the earth
And know where the spotlight goes to
Colored eyes in the white
Don't have a chance for lasting
Hollowed out to be polite
And sent from central casting
Holograms of farewell tours
From heroes' better days
When dime bags cost a dime
And all the roads had fewer lanes
I'm not an agent of the new world
But a cynic all the same
What's in a name
You and I and him and her
Might be the only ones who
See the evening meet the earth
And know where the spotlight goes to
Colored eyes in the white
Don't have a chance for lasting
Hollowed out to be polite
And sent from central casting
I've got my scarlet pen and don't it feel so right
Between my fingers and the page
It's been etching patterns in my mirror that say
"Just who the fuck are you anyway"
You and I and him and her
Might be the only ones who
See the evening meet the earth
And know where the spotlight goes to
Colored eyes in the white
Don't have a chance for lasting
Hollowed out to be polite
And sent from central casting
Sent from central casting
We're sent from central casting
