Captain Cadillac - Up To Date

Song from All Aboard the Choking Birds, a Collection of Songs by Captain Cadillac.

You were doing sixty in a twenty mile zone. The car was moving fast, but I was moving too slow. I was only hoping for a little long driven conversation and I got one; staring down the narrow, double-barrel view of riding in shotgun. And we treat the dead as if there just another frame of reference; painted in a restless obsession, and cut into a window frame to keep us all inspired. I get the drift when you say these phrases hold no leverage, and they dont answer my questions, I guess Ill just find someone who can. I over slept, so can you help me understand why the day time rests, but I still cant. And if youre tired of wearing me thin; dont be. My words draw dreams in half asleep poetry. And Im so hell-bent on breaking in my brand new wings, so just shake my hand so I can leave. I never ever mean it when I say goodbye. Its so hellish to finally find something with meaning, and watch it become so self deceiving, I cant replace all my good nights with goodbyes, it wont suffice. Remember when you taught me the politics of charming? Well, I took all of your advice despite all the sincere apologies from everyone who thought of me as more dead than alive. Here I am; wrecked and alone in my car again, I hardly meant to drive you away. Its my changing distaste for remaining the same. Here I am; awakened by the dark again, and I partly meant to sleep off today, so I can keep up to date and see my mistakes. Im just asking, "Ill never get to hell in this hand basket?" Im too late, my to do list has changed.
