No frothing dog, no cool insanity
An inch an hour, two feet a day
To move through night
But I'm helpless less with the people than the space
No solitary walks through vacant lots in moon glow
The sound of rushing water in the dark
Could make me feel the same way
To move through night with very little else to say
Coffee-colored ice and peeling birch bark
An inch an hour, two feet a day
You can see your breath in Springside Park
Makes me feel the same way
To move through life with very little else to say
I mean I'm helpless less with the people than the space
An inch an hour, two feet a day
No bag or words, no costume trunk
Makes me feel the same way
They used to scare the living shit outta me
No struggle town, no bemused Trudeau
No amount of hate, no load of junk
Tonight the winter may have missed its mark
There's this fuckin' band you gotta see
No rock 'n roll, no Christianity
In this most fashionable way
But I'm helpless more with the people than the space
