pearl jam - bushleaguer lyrics

how does he do it? how do they do it? uncanny and immutable.
this is such a happening tailpipe of a party.
like sugar, the guests are so refined, (look like melting m&ms)

a confidence man, but why so beleagued?
he's not a leader, he's a texas leaguer
swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike
drilling for fear, makes the job simple
born on third, thinks he got a triple

blackout weaves its way through the cities
blackout weaves its way through the cities
blackout weaves its way,...

i remember when you sang
that song about today
now it's tomorrow and
everything has changed

a think tank of aloof multiplication
a nicotine wish and a columbian decanter
retrenchment and foolishness
"what's the ruckus?"
the haves have not a clue
the immenseness of suffering
and the odd negotiation, a rarity
with onionskin plausibility of life,
and a keyboard reaffirmation

blackout weaves its way through the cities
blackout weaves its way through the cities
blackout weaves its way,...

i remember when you sang
that song about today
now it's tomorrow and
everything has changed
