Cut to the Chase

I’ve been standing here all night on my feet,

you see there’s only just these, the two of them.

Will you move, or will I move?

Or will we both go through somehow and move somehow?

Cut to the chase, I don’t want to push, I don’t want to pull.

Cut to the chase, I just can’t stand still.

Well I woke up in the nighttime,

was lifted up and set down again farther along, well farther along,

(like in a ritual.)

We’re down at the train tracks

and we yell real loud when the train rolls past.

We’re down at the train tracks and we just pretend

the freeway’s just the wind in the pines and

we’re underneath the water, we’re underneath the water.

And the water is green and the water is blue

and the water is me and the water is you.

“And like a leaf, I’m caught in the tide.

I’m under an old black magic, an old black magic,

I’m under an old black magic, called love.”

Cut to the chase, I don’t want to push, I don’t want to pull.

Cut to the chase, I just can’t stand still.
