Bric-a-brac

Bric-a-brac of a past life

Cluttering this room

I did this or that

We called it quits too soon

I've never understood

Why the waves obey they moon

But I'll find out the hard way

When the high tide looms

I can't justify insanity

I can't explain the way it used to be

Bending over backwards

To accommodate my flaws

But I can't take them through the fire with me

I see a crack in the sidewalk

I still get suspicious

I'm much too old

To have such superstitions

I don't want a badge of honor

But they tell ya if the shoe fits

My commitment to youth

Often borders on religious

I can't justify insanity

I can't explain the way it used to be

Bending over backwards

To accommodate my flaws

But I can't take them through the fire with me

I can't justify insanity

I can't explain the way it used to be

Bending over backwards

To accommodate my flaws

But I can't take them through the fire with me
