At first I wasn't sure but now I have no idea
And it's a feeling I ain't never had that also feels familiar
And the present ain't dead and the future's got room for the living
But I'm certain now for a long, long time ago

And I don't mind where I'm going, I just don't like you so near
Let me off at the corner I can walk from here
I was promised no surprises on this one day of the year
But it comes as no surprise to me what brings you here again

We're under attack and I'm going back to the country,
Where the neon signs are stars falling down
And the president's dead and the prison's got room for forgiveness
But it's over our heads and way past the point of a lie

And I don't mind where I'm going, I just don't like you so near
Let me off at the corner, I can walk from here
I was promised no surprises on this one day of the year
So it comes as no surprise to me what brings you here again

There's a man in the street with a gun in his hand
And he swears that he's willing to kill
Right from the start, what a miserable part,
And a secret disguised as a thrill

There's a deal gone down, was it worth it?
Are things according to the way that you planned?
Are you forgetting that love is the tiniest glove
That is worn in the palm of your hand?
