Umphrey's McGee > Songs > Push the Pig > Lyrics


    It only matters if you're gonna count the clock
    If we're crawling to a halt
    We would feel the air grow thick until the world would sleep

    And in the morning you'll be troubled to awake
    As your troubles would inflate
    But there are limits to the gimmicks that your mind can play

    And If you look I'm sure you'd see
    Nothing's really as it seems
    And soon enough you'd realize
    You promise more than you'll provide
    The substance that we're hoping for
    Will always leave us needing more
    We're calloused 'til we cannot feel
    The only moments that were real

    And let the evening slowly sail itself away
    As it violates the day
    The consequences can't be fenced in by your neighborhood

    So the connections simply have a wait in line
    Though we know that we will find
    A happy ending for all our friends who never thought they would

    And If you look I'm sure you'd see
    Nothing's really as it seems
    And soon enough you'd realize
    You promise more than you'll provide
    The substance that we're hoping for
    Will always leave us needing more
    We're calloused 'til we cannot feel
    The only moments that were real
