Struck A Nerve |
| There’s an old man on a city bus holding a candy cane |
| And it isn’t even Christmas |
| He sees a note in the obituary that his last friend has died |
| [There's an infant clinging to his overweight mother in the cold |
| As they go to shop for cigarettes |
| As she spends her last dollar on a bottle of vodka for tonight |
| And I guess it struck a nerve |
| Like I had to squint my eyes |
| You can never get out of the line of sight |
| Like a barren winter day |
| Or a patch of unburned green |
| Like a tragic real dream |
| I guess it struck a nerve |
| Every day I wander in negative disposition |
| As I’m bombarded by superlatives |
| Realizing very well that I am not alone |
| Introverted I look to tomorrow for salvation |
| But I’m thinking altruistically |
| And a wave of overwhelming doubt turns me to stone |
| And I guess it struck a nerve |
| Sent a murmur through my heart |
| We just haven’t got time to crack the maze |
| Like a magic speeding clock |
| Or a cancer in our cells |
| A collision in the dark |
| I guess it struck a nerve |
| I try to close my eyes |
| But I cannot ignore the stimuli |
| If there’s a purpose for us all |
| It remains a secret to me |
| Don’t ask me to justify my life |
| Cause I guess it struck a nerve |
| Like I had to squint my eyes |
| You can never get out of the line of sight |
| Like a magic speeding clock |
| Or a cancer in our cells |
| A collision in the dark |
| I guess it struck a nerve |
