lyrics

There's a man with half a leg in a wheelchair rolling up a hill
In an hour he'll be lucky if he makes a mile
He has a sign that says 'Smile'

There's a man with half a tongue in his briefcase chewing on a kill
He gets paid by the hour just to conceal
He thinks he earns what he steals

And each is part of some big strange equilibrium I can't explain
But to each the other is numb just another bum like you see each day

There's a man with half a heart and a broken will rolling around in his head
In a lifetime he'll be lucky to glimpse what's real
He is consumed by what he fears

Everything is part of some big strange equilibrium I can't explain
You could wrap around the sun if end to end you laid out all your DNA
