lyrics

What's the matter
Rain on the windscreen twists everything askew. No time to spare, what's the matter with you. The highways and byways all littered with the spoils, the moon in the junkyard, what's the matter with these boys. They hang out in the shooting gallery and play the Laughing Clowns, park up at a lookout far from the madding crowd. The lights in the valley, pretty as pearls. As a matter of fact, what's the matter with this world. Lying in a field of wheat, standing in the rain. Sifting through the sands of time, trying to take aim. Living in a house of straw or sleeping in a park. Basking in the sunshine or hiding in the dark. Sometimes it's a famine, other times a flood. Does it have to end in tears, have to end in blood. All the king's horses and men were never seen again. All for what, Jesus wept, what's the matter with them? I hear the train coming. It won’t be long. Kiss me on the lips again and hum that pretty song. Leave all excess baggage and throw away the key. They could blow us all to kingdom come. What's the matter with me.
