caught short in the long run - elliott murphy lyrics

roll down your window
your crying’s got everything steamed.
roll down your window
it’s not as desperate as you make it seem
you’re so young to have seen it
and now your vision is much too old and much too clear
you know i’m friends with that darkness you’ve been seeing
we dated once or twice in earlier years
and i know that you’re trying
and believe me i know that it’s tough
but i’ve seen you when you’re dancing with the children
skip ahead to the lighter stuff

and tonight when they come i’ll say they can’t see you no more
cause they’ll draw out your life through a fine silver straw
and if i was a hero i would have fought them off at your door

and you thinking of your family
and your thinking it’s been much too long
because you need some of their innocence and their order
but that medicine is much too strong
and we’re holding so tight and we’re falling
and the funny thing is both are just the same
you know freedom will find its own amus-m-nt
and it looks like we’ve found a waiting game
so you torture yourself for that moment
when the only thing left is to feet
you know romantics may run free in the darkness
but come the light, they’re the first to kneel

and tonight when they come i’ll say they can’t see you no more
cause they’ll draw out your life through a fine silver straw
and if i was a hero i would have fought them off at your door
but the lines we have drawn and the sides we have chose
and my own indecision how badly that shows

and, god d-mn, if i was a hero i would have kept our little world closed
