The Net

Champagne on a concrete rooftop
Sitting with our feet over the edge
Drinking to our lovers back at home
The wanderers on Argyle street at night
Swaggering like pirates of the shore
Tend to let us pass without much trouble anymore
We spend our days in outer space
Our nights in fitful sleep
But my mother always said to me
The net will come
So long as you leap
They say,
Listen up kid, if you're gonna survive
Keep your little head up and find a way
To drink up the joy alongside the pain
Cause you never know when it's going to rain again
So we chase the money
So often there's no other choice
The title's never yours to keep
But I hear it in my mother's voice
The net will come
So long as you leap
And you want to do good
And you want to work hard
And you want to change a life
From the minute I met you
You've been changing mine
And we call it funny
So often there's no other words
Just looking out at that great sea
But who knows what awaits on other shores
The net will come
So long as you leap

Never Sing Again

I'll never sing again
I don't believe I'll ever sing again
My throat is dusty and my strings are bent
And I have nothing more to say
Except that I am innocent
You won't believe me but I'm innocent
I never gave you reason to resent
Why'd you lock me away
Would it kill her just to know that while she
Is running wild and living free
I've been sitting in the corner of your room
For so many years
You were magnificent
The way you played me was magnificent
But now I fear I've felt the last of it
And I will never sing again
Would it kill her to just to know that I'm
Being punished for her every crime
That your calloused hands have closed my case
And thrown away the key
But still you were magnificent
The way you played me was magnificent
But now I fear I've felt the last of it
And I will never sing again
