The Taming of the Shoes (Lies, Cries, and Goodbyes)

from There Goes the Cake by Mayhem Lettuce

lyrics

I'm already in the future
I'm still right where you left me
I'm already old enough to tie my shoes

I subscribed to Time for a little while
But Time passed on and I slept through the wake
And when I woke up I opened my eyes
To the lies and the cries and goodbyes of the fake

I'm still right in the future
I'm back at square one
I'm already outgrowing my dancing shoes

I subscribed to Time for a little while
But Time passed on and I slept through the wake
And when I woke up I opened my eyes
To the lies and the cries and goodbyes of the fake

I'm tired of the future
I'm waiting for you to come
I'm already wearing out my walking shoes

I subscribed to Time for a little while
But Time passed on and I slept through the wake
And when I woke up I opened my eyes
To the lies and the cries and goodbyes of the fake

I'm abandoning the future
I'm trying not to cry
I'm already too old to find my shoes

about

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois

Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
