Deadbeat

As big as a telephone call
Ocean size, after-shave smells
The vodka is clean and clear
Looking haze, moving so slow
As useless as that same old line
Sorry, thought you'd understand
As big as a telephone call
Ocean size let down again

Take a look around
Nature's lost its ground with me
Are you positive that you like the way you're perceived
By your flesh and blood?
The way you love, lost on me
Can you bear the thought of losing the love of your family?

No more photographs
No more TV shows
No more baked bean fat
Not much more to laugh at
No more fears aside
No more strength to lift
Staring at the ground
It won't help you now
Laying on the grass
Parades of memories pass us by

As spent as an old rubber band
Can't reply stretched out too far
The dark sky is clear tonight
Looking, maze, so many stars
As useless as that same old line
Always seems so sincere
As big as an old scribbled note
Ocean size let down again

Take a look around
Nature's lost its ground with me
Are you positive that you like the way you're perceived
By your flesh and blood?
The way you love, lost on me
Can you bear the thought of losing the love of your family?
