Futility Lyrics

I still expect to be saved by the bell

When I've been sucked in the wanting well

I try to eat, try to smoke, fill my purse

To turn a void into a universe

I'm walking round in a memory of the future

Recycled days are all that I see

When it comes back, it comes back, it comes back to me

That's when I get futility

It takes me by the hand

That's when I get futility

I'm not another man

Do you believe in paying dues

Where is my shower of grace

I've worn out someone else's shoes

And I've looked over-long for a sign on your face

A common yellow tying up this and that

I try to yell when the talking is flat

The speaking clock drones the failings again

The body's landed on the railings again

In deja-vue I'm all ready to mention utility

And pass the buck to the economy

And the buildings that drop their few tiles on me

That's when I get futility

It takes me by the hand

That's when I get futility

I'm not another man

Do you believe in paying dues

Where is my shower of grace

I've worn out someone else's shoes

And I've looked over-long for a sign on your face

That's when I get futility

That's when I get futility

That's when I get futility

Futility
