"Headshots" lyrics
"Headshots"
The sign said "Headshots"
And that was all
A picture of a boy
And a number you could call
Two eyes in the shade
A mouth so sad and small
Strange the way a shadow
Can fall across a wall
And make the difference
In what you see
Ah...
He's just a poster
But he's everywhere
A face under a street lamp
Ripped and hanging in the air
Turn the corner
And he's still there
Watching all the people
Who are passing unaware
Is there a judgment
Of what he sees?
Ah...
On a day
As cold
And gray
As today...
The sign says "Headshots"
It's all I see
A boy becomes a picture
Of guilt and sympathy
And so I think of you
In memory
Of the days we were together
And I knew that you loved me
That was the difference
In what we see
But that's history...
Ah...
Ah...
Ah...

Reflective in returning love you sing
Errant days filled me
Fed me illusion's gate

Liz Phair - "Glory" He's got a really big tongue
It rolls way out
Snaking around in the club
