Different Today

I thought you’d like to know
Welcome to the one night show
Starring crackpot superstar
Like a tadpole in a jar

Life grows shorter all the time
No one cares what’s on your mind
Wearing chains that share the blame
No one knows you just the same

Always happy in the dark
At the midnight, Central Park
Bleed the freak, he’s not the same
Owns the church that has no name

He walks beside me, walks on by
Like a twinkle in the eye
Set your goal and see it through
‘Cause no one gives a shit for you

Being who you had to be
Seeing what you had to see
Burn and shine in fields of clay
Things look different today

I don’t know if I can be saved
I don’t know what you’re trying to say
In a strange peculiar way
Things look different today
