sleight of hand [tampa, florida august 12 2000] - pearl jam lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
routine was the theme
he’d wake up, wash and pour himself into uniform
something he hadn’t imagined being
as the merging traffic p-ssed
he found himself staring down
at his own hands
not remembering the change
not recalling the plan
was it?

[chorus]
he was okay
but wondering
about wandering
was it age?
by consequence?
or was he moved sleight of hand?

[verse 2]
mondays were made to fall
lost on a road he knew by heart
it was like a book he read in his sleep, endlessly
sometimes he hid in his radio
watching others pull into their homes
while he was drifting

[chorus]
on a line
of his own
off the line
off the side
by the by
as dirt turned to sand
as if moved by sleight of hand

[verse 3]
when he reached the sh0r- of his clip-on world
he resurfaced to the norm
organized his few things, his coat and keys
any new realizations would have to wait
till he had more time
more time

[chorus]
a time to dream
to himself
he waves goodbye
to himself
i’ll see you on the other side
another man moved by sleight of hand
