Lyrics
Inch by the radio
Don't touch the dial
A silly grin came floating in from a man without a smile
Cold, clear and see-through
Like a used bottle of gin
Give the man a bullet
Tear the man from sin
So they say you walk on water
And you put the world in spin
What's it like out on the water
I've only been pushed in
Statistics from syphilitic mystics
And shopping mall hairstyles
Leave the smoker matchless
The T.V. with our child
So they say you walk on water
And you put the world in spin
What's it like out on the water
I've only been pushed in
See the day he smiles
Still chasing his tail
You're still walking down your tracks
Your train's been de-railed
Still hoping for salvation
Your teacher winds up impales
By a generic looking sponsor, saying
Everything's for sale
Everything's for sale
Everything's for sale
Everything's for sale (One more)
Everything
Everything (Hey)
Everything
Everything (Say everything)
Everything
Everything (Say everything)
Everything
Everything (Say everything)
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
