The Kite-Eating Tree - Save Your Stares For Strays lyrics

I damn my mouth and ears every time you hear me complain As long as nothing moves, as long as nothing's new, it's Okay All your friends are stains On some sheets that you'll throw away When you skip to the last half page and destroy the ending Save your stares for strays As you shuffle and back away To a corner where you'll feel safe in your perfect ending Oh my, so young and so pretty Hold your daughter close - it just might spread It's a crime - still young and still pretty Calculate the dose and keep your head Through every stare She'll walk right on Keep your cares - She'll still shine on I'll keep my swallowed fears Next to yours. They taste like champagne As long as no one moves I'll lie and look at you. We're Okay Through every stare She'll walk right on Keep your cares - She'll still shine on (So where's your pity now?) Words like fair - (I can't hear a sound) They're to cry on (Where's your pity now?) Save your stares - (I can't hear a sound) She'll still shine on (Where's your pity now?) All your friends are stains Save your stares for strays As long as nothing moves... As long as nothing's new...
