Hundreds of Ways

Lyrics

What a thing to be a witness to the sunshine
 What a dream to just be walking on the ground
 What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love
 It came before and I'm still looking for that now
 It took centuries to build these twisted cities
 It took seconds to reduce them down to dust
 And all the tour guide could say was
 "Take your pictures folks it's late, try your best please to remember what was done."
 Don't look so forlorn
 Don't you look so scared
 Don't get so upset
 This world was never fair
 But there are hundreds of ways
 To get through the days
 There are hundreds of ways
 Now you just find one
 
 I used to think that time was of the essence
 Now I just wish I could get some sleep
 All this strange parade of sounds the city makes when I lay down
 Little explosions that set fire to my dreams
 Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor
 And I guess that I can see it from the side
 Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be
 I hope I am forgotten when I die
 Don't contradict me
 Don't make me cross the line
 If you feel threatened
 It's only 'cause I might
 But there are hundreds of ways
 To get through the days
 There are hundreds of ways
 To get through the day
 Yes, there are hundreds of ways
 So you best find one
 All my hero's they're all talk
 Running in circles
 Some stop watch some cast
 Love was the message. Full stop
 We ramble on and on
 We ramble on and on
 ♪
 I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina
 Sold them out in Bakersfield for cash
 The bandshell got a band sounds like an arcade in Japan
 Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back
 Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence
 A sociopath riding on a bus
 His irises are black from his novelty contacts
 He looks around but he can't see the rest of us
 In my sunglasses don't mind the blinding light
 It's getting dark but I've always loved the night
 But there are hundreds of ways
 To get through the day
 There are hundreds of ways
 To get through the day
 There are hundreds of ways
 To get through the day
 There are hundreds of ways
 To get through the day
 There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways
 To get through the day
 Just find one
