Shine It All On

Eels · Broken Toy Shop [1993]

tarot cards

said i'm already dead

crystal ball

fell down onto my head

tenderness

if i want it i pay

my true love

well she threw it away



but i can shine it all on

i can shine it all on

i can shine it all on

and still be amazed



had some money

and a hole in my pocket

had a house

but i forgot to lock it

took a drag

from a smoke that may kill me

what a drag

how the winter wind chills me



i can shine it all on

i can shine it all on

i can shine it all on

and still be amazed



i'll shine it on just like macbeth

in the face of certain death

of a salesman or a king

and when the palm trees are on fire

i'll take my boat out on the sea



had a face

but i never could save it

had a kid

but i never would name it

have a life

well that's what they call it

it's a road

but I guess i could crawl it
