Fred Thomas – Yo-yo Tricks lyrics

I could come from any direction that I wanted to
But I won't tell you
Lies about a world that I almost knew
To sell my songs to you

I see you early in the morning taking bottles back
After your party
Someone's passed out in the back
Of your Cadillac
And driving off so fast

And they'll ask where are you goin'
You'll say, 'I don't know, but I will get there'
A light shines through the snow
You'll hear voices laughin

'You'll be back here
You'll come back here
Don't think that you won't'

So when you see me on the corner
Doin yo-yo tricks for all the children
They'll be the same ones I had in '96
I've got nothing new

But in the end like the beginning
There is trust and sound and
No convolutions

If your head hurts while you're singing
Take a look around
Get back in your shiny car
And tell yourself again
Bout how your engine is faster than my heart
