Point Being
-The Lucksmiths
(Mark Monnone)
It was everything you'd hope for at the start of the day
Every feeling you'd want that words would not convey
I heard all my favourite numbers
And all my favourite names
And I could see Point-B
but there was no way
that I could leave this sanctuary
that I call Point-A
Everyone was busy with their earnest plans
I was feeling dizzy with life's cold demands
Her bicycle was resting
against the wall in the hallway
And I could see Point-B
but there was no way
that I could leave this sanctuary
that I call Point-A
Finally found my feet
Sunshine hit the street
A lifetime of misery that could've been
just went begging......
The hope that I might fly
would be my chief defense
Sunshine licked my eye
Wrapped myself in a fence
I crashed that little bike
and lost my baby tooth
Broken gears and buckled wheel
But I will fix it before she knows the truth
And I could see Point-B
but there was no way
that I could leave....
And I could see Point-B
but there was no way
that I could leave this sanctuary...
On this Earth there is no secret
Small enough could keep your trap shut
