Rising from the rubble of trust Searching for an open restaurant on our greatest day Boys and girls have made their case They will wish us well and they'll save face And turn on feet of clay A take in tune, a change explained on our greatest day Tag me out of losing games on our greatest day The fact remains, we're still the same They won't change the names, in the biography Of our greatest day Driving through the blizzard of luck Crawl among the jack-knifed semi-trucks Life's a leaving train, raise the bar and lower the rent You and me, an excellent accident So twist the knife away
And if you will, then I will too on our greatest day A change explained, a take in tune on our greatest day You clap for me, I'll clap for you on our greatest day We'll testify, time to drop the dime And I won't change my mind but I'm so terrified On our greatest day And life's a leaving train If we should fade to black and white on our greatest day Or disappear into good night on our greatest day Boys and girls will testify on our greatest day And I'm not scared, I'm terrified on our greatest day And I won't care because I won't know And I'll never care and I'll never know
