Youdon'tinspiremelikeyouusedto - Telethon

Sweating buckets, shortness of breath

Job secure but there’s an itch i gotta scratch

Sensation’s post-vacation

Craving novel stimulation

No one asks or knows they should

Worst part is knowing if you asked them then they would

But your head’s down, and you’re nodding

Tell your reflection that it’s stalling

Always a chance that the plane’s going down

And you won’t get where you’re going

What all that daytime TV’s been telling you

Is spinning gears, no use, validating rumors

You don’t inspire me like you used to

You don’t inspire me like you used to

And i didn’t sign up for any of this

Well, you don’t inspire me like you used to do

Don’t inspire me like you used to do

«take more time out to note all the victories»

«yeah, but doc, imagine moving to the beach!

I don’t mean actually on the beach

But somewhere there’s ocean, at least, nearby

What a life that could be»

The envy of my former colleagues

Pictures of sunsets from branches of palm trees

Highways’d part on sight of the RV

I live in, what’s the limit?

Fleeting at best, and it fleeted away

Floor of the ashtray by the end of the day

Way home, lost the key to the lock on my lockbox

Rammed an elbow straight through a plate glass window

You don’t inspire me like you used to

You don’t inspire me like you used to

Oh, i didn’t sign up for any of this

Well, you don’t inspire me like you used to do

Don’t inspire me like you used to do

Don’t inspire me like you used to do

Never wonder how the story breaks down

The Story’s up to you

Never wonder how nor why you break down

It’s all a part of you
