Lyrics

What a day it is this morning
Written in the key of C.
And even though it’s only paper
t h i n
I let it in to me.
The block is thick with bricks
and boxes
As far as I can see.
But it feels like soul to me.

Subway dragon spits out steam;
Hits us like an uppercut.
Time to tear the ragged seam
that holds this holey city shut.
Candy calls me and I fall down
naked to my knees.
I’m as wide as I can be.
I’m as wide as I can be.

I am in a world of trouble
Junked up and got in too deep
I am not the best of me
At this age I’ll never be
I’ve been through the Heart of Darkness
to the wide Sargasso Sea.
Let all the madness be
And Shimmer with me

We bang a gong for gods andangels
But devil’s all I’ll ever be.
We file away our ragged edges
But edge is all that’s left of me.
So wear that little tight one, Candy
Wear it just for me.
Yeah, that’s I need to see
To set my demons free.

I am in a world of trouble
Funked up and got in too deep
I am not the best of me
At this age I’ll never be
I am made of wax and wonder
I am paper — write on me.

I’m as wide as I can be.
We’re as wide as we can be.

Cast your troubles to the sea
And Shimmer with me.
Yes, Shimmer with me.
