<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
Let's have a drink at the Mission Rock<br><br />
watch the Oakland lights<br><br />
across the dry dock<br><br />
watch the blue, blue sky darken<br><br />
like an inhalation<br><br />
over the graveyard of ships<br><br />
and your conversation<br />
<br />
It's sad when you try and manipulate me<br><br />
it's sad 'cause I don't love you that way anymore<br><br />
you're worried if you remembered to use bleach<br><br />
on a needle<br><br />
well so what so what<br><br />
so what so what<br><br />
so we sit and watch the planes take off from Oakland<br><br />
and circle gracefully<br><br />
in a sky so royal and blue<br><br />
they flash their lights like a jewel<br><br />
in some pretender's crown<br><br />
then vanish forever<br><br />
hey how's your Margarita<br><br />
you won't be around very much longer<br><br />
<br />
And our talk is useless<br><br />
it only makes us seem clever<br><br />
while nothing changes<br><br />
while nothing changes<br><br />
nothing changes nothing changes<br><br />
not ever<br />
<br />
If I could talk it out of you I would<br><br />
if I could beat it out of you I would<br><br />
but all I can do is<br><br />
is follow stupidly behind<br><br />
and watch you you walk<br><br />
to the ocean in your mind<br><br />
and there's always more<br><br />
always more ties you could sever<br><br />
and nothing changes<br><br />
while nothing changes<br><br />
while nothing changes<br><br />
and nothing changes<br><br />
not ever<br />
