Titles You Can’t Hire
Steve Skaith / Mike Jones
Lyrics
From the Wednesday cafe windows,
You can see the cooling tower.
As you’re breaking down the day
Between the records and the showers.
And a stranger lights your cigarette
As he does he starts to call
And you know it won’t be you or him
But just the DJ signing off
The best points of this precinct
Never left the drawing board
As you wander to the window
Where they keep the movie store
Close Encounters and Deer Hunter
Texus Chainsaw and Quest for Fire
But the empty in your pocket says
They’re titles you can’t hide
Titles you can’t hide
A train is full of teachers
Running late for class
In grey and blue the train shows up
In the mounds of powdered glass
By the station lays a Kingdom Hall
With no steeple and no spire
But you don’t need a witness for
The titles you can’t hide
The titles you can’t hide
There’s a child who calls you father
And a clerk who calls you son
And a wife who works her life away
For the words you can’t bring her
Like October, or celebration
Sweet release, or just desire???
In ??? turn sleep out ???
Like titles you can’t hide
Titles you can’t hide
Titles you can’t hide
