Down the aisle I don't think I can take another bad movie Why do they make them this way? Think of the great ones, desert island films I'll take a few favorites any day I said "Fuck it", I don't need another broken promise I'm at the end of my rope I haven't changed my clothes this entire vacation Imagining a son as I walk through the station Saying, "Look at that steam, dad, look at what my camera shows" But I've got my hands full, I can't follow every little thing that my mind suggests I'll take what I can carry and bury the rest I'll take what I can carry and bury the rest For the next generation Take what they can carry Take what they can carry Manager hissed At the waitress who messed up While I was falling asleep at The Cheesecake Factory There was something in his voice Unshaven and screaming If you can't make it here, if you can't make it here I hear women in my head with ordinary names That ring like magic through some malfunction in my brain Oh, your hands were warm, though you came in from the cold I took one and held it, and without a reason Thought of the faces that I left And how I loved them to death Oh, it's too late to remember So why is this shit so hard to forget? I'll take what I can carry and bury the rest Take what I can carry and bury the rest With the next generation Take what they can carry Won't be long, you come too I was alone in the wilderness Washing your head in the Exodus I was alone in the wilderness Washing your head in the Exodus I was alone in the wilderness Washing your head in the Exodus I was alone in the wilderness Washing your head in the Exodus I was thinking in stone, speaking in chalk I was thinking in stone, speaking in chalk (I said) I was thinking in stone (Cover my eyes) (My mind said a little thing) Speaking in chalk (Cover my eyes) (My mind said a little thing) I was thinking in stone (Cover my pure eyes) (My mind said a little thing) Speaking in chalk (Cover my eyes) (My mind said a little thing) (Cover my pure eyes) (My mind said a little thing) I cover my eyes, take me away (My mind, mind, little thing) The back of my head, the palm of your hand (My mind, mind, little thing) Cover my eyes, take me away (My mind, mind, little thing) The palm of your hand, the back of my head I was living in the delta (Cover my eyes) I was living in the delta (Cover my eyes) I was living in (Cover my pure eyes) I was living in (Cover my eyes) I was living in (Cover my eyes) (Cover my pure eyes)
