There are things in my wallet I will never use I'm the 51st member of a god-awful group Connected by a ring, they say we're all the same But I don't know, I don't know if they're telling the truth Like a field of rice, I've grown out of here An Olympian game to fill the shield's union hole I could reach the sockets that I could never twist So now you can cross me off that goddamn list Cause there's always that someone who'll be easier on your art So forget the politics of living alone and just dance till the morning light I saw you in the background the other day On a television to some story grade You were sat on the steps of the new courthouse Spinning that wheel, you said you'd show me how You'd chase me through the carriage on a train But I reached the next one before you came When I pulled out the pin between yours and mine I kept going, you got left behind Cause there's always that someone who'll be easier on your art So forget the politics of living alone and just dance till the morning light I heard you were looking for a man to lead But I can tell you that I'm not the one you need I'm always three steps behind the dance and the time So if I can't change for you, then I won't change for me Oh, as stubborn as it is, as stubborn as I am I can tell you that there is no pearl in this clamor A diamond, maybe I stole it soon But it was only to try and get you home with me When there's always that someone who'll be easier on your art So forget the politics of living alone and just dance till the morning light I heard you were looking for a man to lead But I can tell you that I'm not the one you need I'm always three steps behind the dance and the time So if I can't change for you, then I won't change for me Oh, as stubborn as it is, as stubborn as I am I can tell you that there is no pearl in this clamor
