lyrics

A fried chicken stand
Pierced by the shadow of a steeple
Taqueria signs
Poking their heads over the street
Complete sets of furniture
Litter the front lawns
And some people upon the stairs
Take turns passing around something to eat

And they're giving it up
Just like they were giving up a parking spot
Moving along
Out of the way may be the last thing anyone's got

But what's so great
About singing the same songs every night?
Everything can be repeated
Well, everything except for those first times
And lately I've been thinking
That it's time for a rewrite

Oh lately I have been thinking

Pictures of pleasure
Tease people staring at the walls
A pinup girl's straddle
Beer posters under the neons
Best selling authors
Hone their craft in bathroom stalls
Every asshole's got a story
About how they know Leon

Cause here in Fort Worth
They've got everything that you might find in LA
A place to swill, a line to sniff
A date with nothing to say
A strip of bars
And most all of us still love it this way

Ah, but what's so great
About going to the same party every night?
When the sun goes down
The neighborhood really comes alive
But lately I've been drinking
Thinking that I'd rather see it dead again

Oh lately I have been thinking

I take a picture and then it's already over
It was just a shift of frame and lens
I pull a pedal off of a four leaf clover
Well, luck isn't love
But then I guess it all depends
On just what brand of
Entanglement that you are looking for
Cause opportunity knocks
And on occasion even kicks in a door

Oh but still what--what's so bad
About getting in the same fight every night?
Learn when to punch, when to block
And when to bite
But lately I've been thinking
That I don't wanna see it comin'

Oh
Oh lately I have been thinking

Tell me that story one more time
About how you're gonna change
You're gonna paint
You're gonna write
You're gonna find yourself again
You're gonna save all that money
You've been siphoning for poison
And that's gonna fix your brain
So when you die real busy
Everyone can talk about all the shit you did
But lately I've been thinking
You should just stop worrying
About how it all ends

Oh yeah, yeah
Oh lately I have been thinking
Oh lately I have been thinking
Yeah, yeah

Oh lately there's something on my mind
And I really think of it all the time
Oh, oh lately I've been thinking
Lately, lately I have been thinking

Oh lately I-I-I I've been thinking
Yeah, lately I-I I've been thinking
Oh been thinking something
I-I-I've been thinking

Wooh ooh ooh
