lyrics

THE RE-EVALUATION OF JIMMY DIVINE

i hit the green light, rollin' down that hard road
i felt the streamline send me to the corner for all time
i took it out on myself and ran behind the curtain
just to see my shadow pulling all the hurt in

and it's big bad showdown weighing me down, oh mama!
i thought, i thought all about the rings that are rolling like a circus clown
we see every time we look into the mirror on a monday
i took it out on myself

try not to move, dear or else you're gonna feel the big burn
let's not be too clear just in case my shadow learns
it's what it is, it's what it is - don't you try and steal my sunshine
i divvied up my ghosts between the freaks of the harbor and the saints of the fault line

and it's big bad showdown weighing me down, oh mama!
i thought, i thought all about the rings that are rolling like a circus clown
we see every time we look into the mirror on a monday
i took it out on myself

i turn my face to the middle of the crowd
and i screamed, "good god, oh yeah, we got 'em now!"
i heard the sunlight wither away just to give us something to say
oh light, you better do something good!
i saw the light in the fringes of my neighborhood

it's up to you now if you want to see this to the end
i've got a thought, wow, we might as well begin again
i saw the light, i saw the light but not the light you're thinking
i'm standing on my own this time and i'm bailing on the ship before it sinks

and it's big bad showdown weighing me down, oh mama!
i thought, i thought all about the rings that are rolling like a circus clown
we see every time we look into the mirror on a monday
i took it out on myself
