lyrics

it's not magic, it's in the mechanics
he said, then shooed her away
to tend to his fistfuls of sticks and lye
both eyes fastened to the edge of a page
and she has seen him
through fits of folly and rage,
melancholy
she's led him home drunk and sorry

those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know
but i've heard the point of life is to live and let go
and that if you ask god to make you fast
well first he'll make you slow
cause you gotta spill your cup before it'll overflow

beware the one with the fork in his tongue
sinister and full of misery
he'll drink your water out of thirst and spite
and if you cross him, he'll respond crossly
for he lives life with his eyes shut tight;
who will love him?
his heart is dark as the ocean

those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know
but i've heard the point of life is to live and let go
and that if you ask god to make you fast
well first he'll make you slow
cause you gotta spill your cup before it'll overflow

it's fine for a man to sit and rot
with a fist for a hand and a jaw filled with knots
if he's prepared to remain stagnant
during the unending days of his awkward descent
into a land of obscurity, cold and lonely
there's room for one person only

those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know
but i've heard the point of life is to live and let go
and that if you ask god to make you fast
well first he'll make you slow
cause you gotta spill your cup before it'll overflow
