Soul Asylum - Brand New Shine lyrics

rate me

I got something special to show you

But I suppose you've seen it all before

There's one thing I'm trying to tell you

But then again, you've heard it all before

I survived another week just like the one

before,

When everything you wanted somehow leaves

you wanting more

And I looked beneath the carpet behind

each and every door,

Trying to find you something like you've

never had before

And it seems we're just beginners

No previous experience at all

Just the last original sinners

And if you need me just be sure to call

And they tell you which way not to go and

so you go that way

One child plays with ??, another throws

it away

Like a kite without string go anywhere do

anything

I'm trying to take you someplace you've

never been before

I see something new in each and every move

From your old, old hat to your blown-out

shoes

It's tried and true, and it's all I do

And I hope it's not all the same to you

The old and new, they get mistaken all

the time

Is there something I've never seen before

No, just a brand new shine

Now they're cranking 'em out by the

millions

They look and act exactly just the same

And each one's one in a million

And each has got its own elusive game

It's the same old dusty atmosphere just

like the other place

I see something familiar in each and

every face

Seems to me I've seen you, been here,

said this once before

I'm trying to take you someplace you've

never been before

I see something new in each and every moon

From your old, old hat to your blown-out

shoes

When I dropped it and broke it, I thought

of you

And I hope it's not all the same to you

And the old and new, they get mistaken

all the time

Is there something I've never seen before
