lyrics

Charlene,
you've got gloves
for hands
how can you even stand
not knowing what things feel like?
Charlene,
you've got wheels
for feet
how can you walk
down the street?
People's faces must look
like a blur

Maybe
taking chances
is not something you're suited for
Never
jumping fences
when the risk is so much more

A new day
comes
but you just want
the other one
yesterday, the day that's gone
and you'll cry and scream and shake
til you get your way
But that's not how
it works
no matter how much you twist and jerk
you just end up
where you were
and nobody's there to tell you where
to go

Maybe
taking chances
is not something you're suited for
Never
jumping fences
when the risk is just so much more
Always
wear a helmet
even when you're walking to the store
Keep your
head protected
You never know what you might
need it for

about

The Cheap Moves New Jersey

Tasty rock & power pop from NJ.
Like if R.E.M., Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots and The Replacements got trapped in Jeff Goldblum's telepod machine in The Fly
