My Glass Eye Lyrics

I bend my words around quarters
hoping that it might improve their worth.
My little plan, it hasn't worked yet;
they just keep falling right on through your hands.
And lately I've been apples to an oranes world.
All that plish never brought much in return so

I've been flying kites in hurricanes to feel ok.
I might even think I'm brave
and maybe someday it won't matter what you say.
But it's not today.
No. It's not today.

I'm well aware of my shortcomings.
After all they're so reliable.
But what I'd like is if you'd find that
my glass eye is desirable.
I'm spending time in disguises that you know too well.
And you're not buying this swagger; it's too hard to sell so

I've been flying kites in hurricanes to feel ok.
I might even think I'm brave
and maybe someday it won't matter what you say.
But it's not today.
No. It's not today.

At least these hand drown maps with crooked paths
are good for laughs.
I'm looking for the "You Are Here." It's never clear
and now the flashlight's dimming.
And I can hear the winds twisting so

I've been flying kites in hurricanes to feel ok.
I might even think I'm brave
and maybe someday it won't matter.
Maybe someday I'll be better.
Maybe someday it won't matter what you say.
But it's not today.
