lyrics

try to see the writing on the wall:
three feet high, caps lock, bold Avalon

not quite the voice of a generation gone
nor quite of the present one
not that anyone's counting

sweet sleight, sweet sleight
it'll be a sweet sleight, sweet sleight...

try to check your pride before the fall
stop passing off your weaknesses as virtues

you don't deserve the world but you're owed the few
born in another era
it wouldn't even occur to you

somebody's luck is gonna run out
somebody's luck is gonna let him down
