What a thing to be a witness to the sunshine
What a dream to just be walking on the ground
What a time to live among the ash and remnants of our love
It came before and Im still looking for that now
It took centuries to build these twisted cities
It took seconds to reduce them down to dust
And all the tour guide could say was, "take your pictures folks, it's late.
Try your best to remember what was done."
Don't look so forlorn
Don't look so scared
Don't look so upset
This world was never fair
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
There are hundreds of ways
Now you just find one
I used to think time was of the essence
Now I just wish I could get some sleep
All these strange parades of sands the city makes when I lie down
Little explosions that set fire to my dreams
Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor
I guess I can see it from the side
Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be
I hope I am forgotten when I die
Don't contradict me
Don't make me cross the line
If you feel threatened
its only cause I might
But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
Yes There are hundreds of ways
so you best find one
All my heroes they're all talk
running in circles
Some stopwatch some chaos
Love was the message
Full stop
We ramble on and on
We ramble on and on
I stole all the rhinestones outta of Carolina
Sold them out in bakersfield for cash
The band shell got a band sound like an arcade in Japan
Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back
And now any sucker can turn boredom in to violence
a sociopath riding on a bus
his irises are black from his novelty contacts
he looks around but he cant see the rest of us
In my sunglasses don't mind the blinding light
yah its getting dark bro
but I've always loved the night
But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
(You can play this chord to mimic the horns here F#m(9th fret barchord))
There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways to get though the day
Just find one
