The Way of Perpetual Roads
Watch the mistake in progress
Even if you don't believe in progress
There's a give and there's a take
And there's a move she forgot to make in time to discover
That the glove was a plant and the shill his mean-spirited thing
And she wants you to go
And this is the way of perpetual roads
Watch the parade in progress
Even if you don't believe in progress
There was a will, there was a way
There was a bill we forgot to pay
In spite of all the accidental riches
Golden dons and sudden glitches til the day
And she wants you to go
But this is the way of perpetual roads
It's a long climb down from obscurity
So cancel the keys to the city please
Upon which rest the inextricable failures
Of popular wisdom and popular music
And she wants you to go
And this is the way of perpetual roads
