Ones and Ohs

I should treat my phone more like a landline
And only pick it up when it rings
Set it down, turn the volume loud
All these vibrations and incantations
Got me singing lamentations, can't you see?

Well, as good as I look in this suit
And as much as I read and write
I don't really come across in black and white
You'll never know anyone's who knows
You'll never know anyone's who knows

I've been spending a lot of time alone
In my own prison, largely self-imposed
My jail cell follows wherever I go
And guzzles gas and shakes at sixty or so

You'll never know out on the road
You'll never know out on the road

I should start doing cardio
And stop smoking so carelessly
See, I've got this earthquake heartache
But maybe it would only make the Richter rate increase

I'll never know if I don't
I'll never know if I don't

I've seen things from sea to shining sea
Chain link and tragedy
And I could as easily intervene
As I could in a dream that I had when I fell asleep
With my arms underneath me
