"They had the best selection
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed
Nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations
Or became parkbench mutations
On the sidewalks and in the stations
They were waiting... Waiting...
So I got bored and I left them there
They were just dead weight to me
Better down the road without that load"

From me to you, tangled up in blue"
