All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know (in Album S Lyrics

All You Can Ever Learn Is What You Already Know (in Album S

Is this how it was intended?

The sunrise over smoke stacks in the Midwest,
the beauty of this abandoned factory.

Christmas lights blinking on and off
all out of time

in what used to be the bleakest dreams of middle class
America.

I'm trying to believe in you, but all these satellites and
shattered dreams are blocking out my view.

Please don't forget who you
really are, because nothing really matters when we're gone.



Fell
in love with his keno waitress.

They honeymooned in Memphis; they were
married by the drive up window.

Trailer parks, neon signs, and an empty
box of Lucky Strikes: all used up from the dashboard of America.

I'm
trying to believe in you; this world sold its fate for parking lots and drunk
sincerity.

Please don't forget who you really are, because nothing really
matters when we're -

You'll be saddened to know the train tracks you once
walked as a young boy are now nothing but a graveyard.

Please don't
forget how small we really are, because nothing really matters when we're gone.
