Lyrics for Distractions

The first move came in late On the day I escaped Satin step, and bird boned Pussyfoot on hallowed ground And then down on the floor Made a grasp for the straws No one would ever guess Only a few hours left The lowered guard That left us both scarred And the things that kept me distracted Now can distract someone new In these days of excess The shortest stories are the sweetest Now the things that kept me distracted They can distract someone new Yeah you know my hiding place Still you check it again Now every day is the same Or so it seems anyway When the light on the floor Starts to move to the wall In the dust in the air You will find me somewhere The lowered guard That left us both scarred And the things that kept me distracted Now can distract someone new In these days of excess The shortest stories are the sweetest Now the things that kept me distracted They can distract someone new
