there was a grown man dying from fright

so surprised at the things he'd say

with a giant fantasy life

running 'round on feet of clay

naked except for a per pet ual death

that couldn't be stripped away

and i'm right to prove wrong

it moved him along closer to division day

I spent a long time living with that

never could give it a name

and when you don't know what you're looking at

makes it much harder to tame

mostly they'd meet when he was asleep and

have some sick exchange

that struck him as wrong

and moved him along closer to division day

(solo)

I can't make an exception for a bad connection

that only goes one way

sell out for a song where I don't belong

with you on division day

the moon stood up on the ridge

looking down where the water shines

and a man looking over the bridge

like he'd done so many times

thinking about how to stay out

out of trouble's way

flying to fall away from you all

it's over division day

beautiful division day
