Everyone's Honest

A couple of months ago I was out drinking with an old friend of mine What did he say to me He said he’d like to curse his ex girlfriend just one time And that everyone’s honest eventually A bunch of years ago I got taken By someone who said that shed get me stuff for free Lots of talk, sweet molasses backstage passes But everyone’s honest eventually Summers gone again Watch the leaves in tonkin square Just cause nothing equals nothing Doesn’t mean everything is fair I knew a guy who was trying hard to never lie He knew the bible a-to-z He prayed before bed at night And thought that he was living right But everyone’s honest eventually A friend of mine in Brooklyn was doing heroin And then he told me that he’d gone clean It’s all the same to me What you do with your body Everyone’s honest eventually Fall is here again Watch the leaves in tonkin square Better put your mittens on I hear its getting cold out there I try to live my life just like I’d always pictured it Become my own self-fulfilling prophecy Set my sights low so I don’t feel like I have far to go But everyone’s honest eventually I had a girl who screwed around with someone else She let me know almost immediately And as soon as I found out I treated her like a broken toy and threw her out That’s what she got for being honest Winters here again No more leaves in Tonkin Square Old men walk in circles They can't find me anywhere Sometimes when I meet new people I try too hard to be friendly Sometimes I try too hard to be cool They say its horrible to be living a lie But I’ve also heard it said that nothing is true Winter never came Ain’t no more old men in Tonkin Square They say its horrible to live a lie Then they say that nothing is true What can you do if nothing is true? Just between me and you You’re better off not thinking it through Not thinking it through
