A Glance Back Lyrics

please Mr. Pennebaker I've got another lense for you
and all of the English has got your image in their interview
so put me on an aeroplane while everything still seems the same
yet another year has gone see if they'll all follow along
could all the kids see through the sand
could they walk, could they talk, could they understand

yeah I'm nothing, yeah I'm nothing
you are what you say you are

who's that there knocking, digging around my shoes?
Well Bob and Joan are all alone, but someones giving them the blues
when all the air has left the room and all the sweetness has sailed
and nothings left standing except the truth and the darkness veiled
song for song, blow for blow
everyone can tell and everyone knows

yeah I'm nothing, yeah I'm nothing
you are what you say you are
one more show to go, and everybody's had enough
yet all the kids keep showing up in all their undertaker makeup
so whatcha' gonna do to crucify your shooting star?
while a triumphant Judas sits safely in his taxi cab car

yeah I'm nothing, yeah I'm nothing
you are what you say you are
