The Orient. And the Gatsby’s Slew of Choices

[Verse 1]
Couldn't leave well enough alone
You were right, I'm wrong
Couldn't leave the well alone
She called me on the phone
It was just a little friendly cry
My middle aches, can you make me fly?
So many thoughts in so little time
'Cause their pain is their crime

[Chorus]
Sell my car to the moving man
I'm the sea and you're Japan
No great morning, no rising sun
No Gatsby in me I'm running from

[Verse 2]
Like a whisper in a lonely town
You brush it off, but it's so loud
That's your ticker, wishing don't give up
This is more than can fill you up
More than this I would ask in turn
Minds too busy to stop and learn
Slight of hand and a gentle push
The lines of promise turn to crush

[Chorus]
Sell my car to the moving man
I'm the sea and you're Japan
No great morning, no rising sun
No Gatsby in me I'm running from

[Verse 3]
It's funny how the kids rise
And pull on my disguise
They are warped outside and in
What's my muse? It's their sin
Walking backwards face-first into my past
As I refuse to be lied against
I am a well-dressed man in a larger house
It's so quiet

[Chorus]
Sell my car to the moving man
I'm the sea and you're Japan
No great morning, no rising sun
No Gatsby in me I'm running from
