lyrics

Dark was the night
Cold was the ground
I once was lost
But now I'm just wandering around

It seems so long
Since I met anyone
Who really seemed to
Care about anything

So here I sit
Swallowed by my skepticism
Tightening my first
Watching too much television

But you gotta shine your shoes
For the fat lady
You gotta shine your shoes
Every day
You gotta shine your shoes
For the fat lady
That's what I heard my brother say

I've been fumbling my faith
Like an egg on a spoon
In a summer party race
In the hottest day of June

And I'm all over the place
I'm all over the place
I'm all over the place
And I think I spoke too soon

But you gotta shine your shoes
For the fat lady
You gotta shine your shoes
Every day
You gotta shine your shoes
For the fat lady
That's what I heard my brother say
