Your Albatross

It came down, I stepped aside
I could have guessed you'd crowd around it
It fits the scene, it steals the moment
It makes you wish that you could save it
Met a man who said he'd been there
Told me everything about it
Forgot the names, forgot the faces
Said he'd only kept the wings
It fits okay, a bit too tight
It looks much better on you
Walk it off, the chopping block's
No place to rest your
Head on fire
Fight like a tiger
You look like a car crash
The butchered are better
Forgot the names, forgot the faces
Says he only wants to leave
Always, always, always
I got sucked in and spit back out again
So what? You're all the same
So what? You're all the same
It came down, I stepped aside
But then I stopped to think about it
It fits the scene, it steals the moment
It makes you wish that you could save it
Met a man who said he'd been there
Told me everything about it
Forgot the names, forgot the faces
Forgot to ask him what it means
Always, always, always
I got sucked in and spit back out again
So what? You're all the same
So what? You're all the same
Always, always, always
I got sucked in and spit back out again
