Over and Over the Lines

Selling images of the images you sell
Golden stacks and rows of bottles
Bottles tipping like the grains of sand
Dripping through the hour glass

Catchy phrases paint the picture
Paint the picture
Paint the picture
Slide on down the line
Come swim in the ocean
Swim in the ocean

Come back now and view the view
In the gray streets and buildings where we live
Bottles are just half an hour glass
And we pour the future into the wind

Caught on a line
Hooked on a line
Caught on a line
Hooked on a line
Come look between the lines
Look between the lines
Swim in the ocean
Come swim in the ocean

[break]

Out in the streets and the streets leave them out
Empty eyes, with a shopping cart
Pushing bottles through the streets like a one man band

Clinking and clanking and clanking and 
Clinking and clanking and clanking and 
Clinking and clanking and clanking and 

We're still on the line
But lost in the mind
Still on the line
Lost in the mind
