Ponderlust - Burton Cummings

I knew someday I’d be a helpless pawn

I knew sometime that I’d be judged with sinners

Can’t go on

I know how hard it is to kill a memory

I know how hard it is to stay alone

I don’t expect a lot of folks to like me

Don’t matter now, they don’t matter now

I know how hard it is to share your spirit

I know how hard it is to try and try

I know how cruel it is when things get shaky

And you cry, and you cry

Hard up, hard up for amusement

When you turned, you turned to the darker side,

You were never meant to understand the things that drive you

And those questions and those questions

They can tear you down

I know how envy does the strangest dances

I know how easy comes this thing called pity

I know how you can run

City to city, looking for pity

Bridesmaids

The only solution

Isn’t it amazing?

In a car, on a freeway

There’s a priest who’s crying, a priest who’s dying

In a graveyard beneath a full moon

I see a black cat lying with its throat cut

I know how age can wear the mask of wisdom

I know how easy it is to stumble too

So many questions that you can’t get napping

It’s true

I know how shitty it is when friends will use you

I know how hard it is to grow up tall

I know how losers can just turn your words round

Till you fall

I knew someday the music might get evil

I knew someday I’d be a helpless pawn

I knew sometime that I’d be judged with sinners

Can’t go on

I know how hard it is when friends desert you

I know that love becomes this thing called pity

I know how you can run you can run

City to city, looking for pity

I know how age can wear the mask of wisdom

I know how easy it is to stumble, too

Too many questions and you’ll never get napping

It’s true, it’s true, yeah, it’s true

You know it’s true, what are we inside?
