lyrics

What's the worth, the worth to you
Semblance of truth
Dusty palimpsest
It gets so hard to digest

Can't write over the way you looked
When the sun was bare and the fish was hooked
The chance was near and the water rose
Over the path you took, I was the one you chose

But now no one knows

What's the worth, the worth to you
Of a better attitude
An inclination toward the sun
Going on fooling everyone

What's the worth, the worth to you
Semblance of truth
Dusty palimpsest
It gets so hard to digest

And I could read you the book we wrote
But it's better closed on a minor note
Words are new, meanings different now
And I can't remember anyhow

Where anything grows

What's the worth, the worth to you
Of a better attitude
An inclination toward the sun
Going on fooling everyone
