there's an old man on a city bus

holding a candy cane,

and it isn't even christmas,

he sees a note in the obituary that

his last friend has died,

(F# A F# A)

there's an infant clinging to

his overweight mother as they go to

shop for cigarettes,

and she spends her last dollar

for a bottle of vodka for tonight

and I guess it struck a nerve,

like I had to squint my eyes,

you can never get out of the line of sight,

like a barren winter day,

or a patch of unburned green,

like a tragic real dream,

I guess it struck a nerve

(F# A F# A)

every day I wander in negative disposition,

as I'm bombarded by superlatives,

realizing very well that I'm not alone,

introverted i look to tomorrow for salvation,

but I'm thinking altruistically,

and a wave of overwhelming doubt

turns me to stone

and I guess it struck a nerve,

sent a murmur through my heart,

we just haven't got time to crack the maze,

like a magic speeding clock,

or a cancer in our sells,

a collision in the dark,

I guess it struck a nerve

Solo: ( F# A F# A)

I try to close my eyes,

but I cannot ignore the stimuli,

it there's a purpose for us all

it remains a secret to me,

don't ask me to justify my life.
