Steppin' through life, all dirt and spit
Got nothin' to survive on
Out in space where everything hurts
All you can do is fly on
You know I never meant to disappoint
I didn't mean no harm
I just couldn't shake it
Red, yellow, and orange leaves
Fall on and cover the ground
But you don't notice, do you, darlin'?
You never even look down
Before you know, the whole street's gone
The asphalt's papered brown
The love gets decayin'
Oh, I didn't want it that way
Rollin' tears on your birthday cake
Tragic Kingdom was an old-school fave
But Don't Speak and it fades away
Phoenix flies from a crumblin' Earth
I was dodgin' it for too long
Now my deepest secrets have all been told
And I can only keep keepin' on
I really hope I didn't miss the point
I know it went on too long
I just couldn't face it
Oh, I didn't want it that way
Rollin' tears on your birthday cake
Tragic Kingdom was an old-school fave
But Don't Speak and it fades away, yeah
