The Trumpet Player Lyrics - The Feel Good Record Of The Year - No Use For A Name

Always in the way, I think I've had enough of this 

Why is everyone so cold and lonely? 

Here I go again, I'll try relating to the selfishly absurd 

Take me for a ride and leave me somewhere I can live 

Without feeling everybody's sorrow 

I want to feel the numbness that surrounds most of our hearts 

To feel like I am normal while ripping lives apart 

Somewhere on the way to degradation 

I met a man who put me in my place 

He said,"You will not see me 

You'll know the truth when you hear this trumpet play" 

Doctor can you give me something for my state of mind? 

If we're all on the same pill it's alright 

'Sorry son you'll have to walk this bridge without a crutch 

We're out of medication, the world is out of love" 

Just then I heard something from the distance 

The trumpet player sitting on the hill 

He said "I really do not have an answer now" 

Then vanished standing still 

In the face on everyone I saw a little madness 

And decided not to be part of that scene 

The only way it seemed 

Always on the wrong side of affection 

We step on heads to get mere than we need 

Never understanding the afterglow 

The reflection of our greed
