lyrics

Tomorrow is a long time and yesterday is gone
Today stands here like a slow line sluggishly movin' on
Waiting on the shopkeeper to turn the sign
And turn the turn key lock
To grant me entrance to the walls
To inspect what he's got in stock...

Where I'll run my fingers slowly down the corners of his case
To haggle with him prices the relics in the place
If tomorrow is a stranger
Then the past is tramping gone
I wonder what I can find this time behind the doors of
Saint Anthony's Pawn

Maybe a fabled party ashtray or a pair of her high heels
Her hazels I search for second hand I was first to steal
Sometimes I check the watches to see how long it's been
In sign language their hands tell me lost time ain't found again

When each day is born I search some more for things I once adored
Lurking around inside the doors...
I wonder if I can somehow place what's left without a trace
In damp corners inside the walls of
Saint Anthony's Pawn

I wonder if I can somehow place what's left without a trace
To catch the slightest smell or to snag the smallest taste...
at Saint Anthony's Pawn...
