Tell me brother
How you living?
Now I got you on the line
I've been meaning
To be calling
But I could not find the time
Got no reason
To be guilty
When the walls begin to squeeze
If you're seeing
And you're knowing
That there is no victory
Oh brother there's no use in saying
What needs not to be said
When tomorrow's paler than today
Paint that picture in my head
Tell me brother
How's your family
What's on your end of the map?
Swimming pools
Exciting schools
I can't imagine you like that
Oh she's sighing
And you've been trying
But you must not go too far
Remember riding
On the breeze
We were bordered by the stars
Oh brother there's no use in saying
What needs not to be said
When tomorrow's paler than today
Paint that picture in my head
Tell me brother
Are you kindling?
Is it dryer than I know?
How's our mother
How's she doing
She knows I only come for show
People loading
And liars groaning
This is life for thieves like us
I got your words on the boards
Man, I best go catch this bus
Oh brother there's no use in saying
What needs not to be said
When tomorrow's paler than today
Paint that picture in my head
