Andrew Kamen - Evening Lyrics

One step at a time
Missing half the pieces
See in black and white, the signs
But I can't read them
Cut across the rooftops
Get off of your soap box
I'll see you on the other side
All they ever do is advertise shit I'll never buy
In any event
I trade the evenings for the sunrise
And the teachings
No need to extend
I trade the evenings
For the bus rides
To the meetings
How well do you know me
A priori
I miss when I would visit you at your dormitory
I don't belong at this conservatory
I need something permanent, not transitory
We lost ourselves
Never found them
Odd sensations
I stopped counting
Forever and always
Taking the long way
Show me the shortcuts
Down through the hallway
Whatever it takes to eliminate discourse
Don't need a strategy
Take it by sheer force
In any event
I trade the evenings
For the sun rise
And the teachings
No need to extend
I trade the evenings
For the bus rides
To the meetings
