PEARL JAM - Sleight Of Hand lyrics

rate me

Vedder, ament<br><br>Routine was the theme. he'd wake up wash and pour himself into uniform.<br>Something he hadn't imagined being.<br>As the merging traffic passed he found himself staring down at his own hands.<br>Not remembering the change. not recalling the plan. was it? <br><br>He was okay but wondering about wandering.<br>Was it age by consequence or was he moved by sleight of hand? <br><br>Mondays were made to fall. lost on a road he knew by heart.<br>It was like a book he read in his sleep. endlessly.<br>Sometimes he hid in the radio watching other pull into their homes.<br>While he was drifting.<br><br>On a line of his own. off the line of the side. bye the by.<br>As dirt turned to sand. as if moved by sleight of hand.<br><br>When he reached the shore of his clip on world he resurfaced to the norm.<br>Organized his few things. his coat and keys.<br>And he knew realizations would have to wait.<br>Till he had more time. more time.<br><br>A time to dream to himself. he waves goodbye to his self.<br>I'll see you on the other side.<br>Another man moved by slight of hand.
