Collateral Damage Songtext
von Shovels & Rope

Collateral damage, crowd control
Not sure who paid, not sure who stole
Somebody always pays when you get it on the cheap
So I stopped having babies and stopped eating meat

They say you better learn to be a good wife
And make everyone a comfortable life
I′m trapped on the wheel like a circus mouse
Bangin' on the windows of my glasshouse

I get a little hazy on the details
How the whole thing went off the rail
And it got pretty slippery in the deep end
I crawled out of my skin and started over


Walkin′ around like a shadow
Is a person I used to know
Like gettin' launched into deep space
In nothing, but a nightshirt and a neck brace

I get a little hazy on the details
How the whole thing went off the rail
And it got pretty slippery in the deep end
I crawled out of my skin and started over

It made me feel a little seasick
That it all came down to a carnival trick
Hangin' my head out the window
Can′t look back now, we′ve got miles to go

I get a little hazy on the details
How the whole thing went off the rail
And it got pretty slippery in the deep end
I crawled out of my skin
I crawled out of my skin
I crawled out of my skin and started over
