Hundreds of Ways

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 ash and remnants of our love That 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 And 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 Chorus: But there are hundreds of ways To get through the day 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 lie 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 because I might Chorus: But there are hundreds of ways To get through the day But there are hundreds of ways To get through the day Yes there are hundreds of ways So you best find one All my heroes they’re all talk Running in circles Some stop, watch, some chaos Love was the message, full stop We ramble on and on We ramble on and on Hey! I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina Sold them out in Bakersfield for cash Now the bandshell had a band Sound 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 And 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 Yeah it’s getting dark, bro But I've always loved the night Chorus: 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
