 Rate All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know (in Album S
Artist : Ataris
Song : all you can ever learn is what you already know (in album S
Is this how it was intended?
The sunrise
over smoke stacks in the Midwest, the beauty of
this abandoned factory.
Christmas lights
blinking on and off all out of time
in what
used to be the bleakest dreams of middle class
America.
I'm trying to believe in you, but
all these satellites and shattered dreams are
blocking out my view.
Please don't forget
who you really are, because nothing really
matters when we're gone.
Fell in
love with his keno waitress.
They
honeymooned in Memphis; they were married by the
drive up window.
Trailer parks, neon signs,
and an empty box of Lucky Strikes: all used up
from the dashboard of America.
I'm trying
to believe in you; this world sold its fate for
parking lots and drunk sincerity.
Please
don't forget who you really are, because nothing
really matters when we're -
You'll be
saddened to know the train tracks you once walked
as a young boy are now nothing but a graveyard.
Please don't forget how small we really are,
because nothing really matters when we're gone.
