Toad The Wet Sprocket - Stories I Tell

Stories I Tell
Toad The Wet Sprocket

Don't give me answers or I would refuse
And I wasn't looking for heaven or hell
'Yes' is a word for which I have no use

Just someone to listen to stories I tell
What is a blessing and what is a dream
When I feel I'm a part of something I can't see
Why is it people expect there's a change
Caught between portraits and none's what it seems
I feel the same

Fame is a cancer and ego its seed
And I wasn't looking for Heaven or hell
Don't offer questions or I will retreat
Just someone to listen to stories I tell

Did you ever care?
Do we ever wonder?
Stories I tell (x3)

Subtle salvation in poems and prose
Hiding our heads in some shadow of home
Just someone to listen to stories I tell
And I wasn't looking for wreaths or for bells

Stories I tell
