i was always there when you never were
standing in the fall cold steaming my breath
big shapes billowing out of my mouth
big shapes dissipate like all of our plans
i see you far away but standing right there
dressing up for halloween in another year
yonder go the young folks down to sixth avenue
yonder go the skeleton crew and the boys in blue
as the crowd goes so do we too
i can tell you'd like to leave here now
i wouldn't wanna wait for me either
i wouldn't wanna wait for me either
as the sun comes up and zombie makeup
melts in the new day
i swear november will be cleaner
as the leaves all die away
somehow i thought i knew you better than that
listening to all the classic cats
jazz music makes a film of manhattan rain
like how keeping close to you made me new again
but we stuck our noses where they shouldn't go
looking through all the wrong keyholes
cut out like jack o' lantern eyeballs
the monster just a candle casting shadows
as the crowd goes so do we too
i can tell you'd like to leave here now
i wouldn't wanna wait for me either
i wouldn't wanna wait for me either
as the sun comes up and zombie makeup
melts in the new day
i swear november will be cleaner
as the leaves all die away

Good Egg

please forgive me, i fucked up again
i didn't mean to act a fool with your friends
i very nearly pitched a perfect game
but the rain delayed my glory
i almost caught you having fun
but my big, dumb mouth kept on prattling on
giving voice to words that were best
left inside my head
it's not enough to have good intentions
i gotta work to be the best that i can
a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be
the savage ways we get along
the savage things we have said and done
we savor what's been salvaged from
the words we left unspoken
there ain't no way to replace the truth that
you're a foreign city without a map
and i've been walking around
without a sense of where i'm going
all my dreams are all about you
i don't ever wanna live without you
a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be
i never claimed to be a perfect human
all i want is to do right by you, yeah
a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be a good egg
i just wanna be
