I've never owned a camera and the pictures in my mind Are instantly forgotten in the haste of passing time Put away your Penguin Freud and hide your crystal ball If you find me out, please let me know, I'd love to get the call
We drift on the surface and die in the depths As the skipping stone sinks to its grave Charades, charades, charades
Summer Sunday driving on a Tuesday afternoon I remember days that seemed to never end too soon But ice melts and flashes fade, cheap thrills will make you ache For the time before nimiety made moments lose their weight
We drift on the surface and die in the depths For the danger of symbols is grave Charades, charades, charades
A dream of form In days of thought I sought to remain But weary eyes Make heavy hearts That long to be chained
I think it was the record, but it sounded like the house If the music weren't so loud you'd probably hear my crying out Like two gut string guitars tuned a half a step apart You can't tell me what you need and so I give you what I want
We drift on the surface and die in the depths Every skipping stone sinks to its grave Charades, charades, charades
