From Gunbo Pages:

By Jay Farrar

Transcribed by Tyler Ingram(Suneagle@aol.com)


D G D
Say hello to the blue side hanging around
A G
Didn't think it mattered, just a force of habit
D G D
With room to roam, the wayside heals all thats wrong
A Em G
Didn't think it mattered, now the writings on the wall
Bm A
Been sidetracked blind
D G
Different point of view from far away
Bm A Em
Sidetracked blind, strung out
G D A C G D A C G
just living between the lines
D G D
The blues have shown and kidnapped your heart away
A G
Didn't think it would happen, now I know you better
D G D
With ground to gain the soapbox stairs bar the way
A Em G
Safeguards to sacrifice for a clear resolution
Bm A
Been sidetracked blind
D G
Different point of view from far away
Bm A Em A
Sidetracked blind, strung out relations
Em A Em A
take the fifth ask questions arrive no sign of evolution
G D G D A Em G
from the hole in the wall inside
D G D
Not even the cool winds wipping through this town
A G
Would ever be enough to tear the world down
D G D
With limits unknown, the time to spare for a spare idea
A Em G
The pull to wonder is pulling out of here
Bm A
Been sidetracked blind
D G
Different point of view from far away
Bm A Em
Sidetracked blind, strung out
G D A C G D A C Em A Em A Em C G
E
just living between the lines

I've never looked at them, just going by memory and some transcriptions on Gumbo Pages from a long time ago. Are these lyrics on the site official transcripts from official lyric pages or someone's interpretation? I'm sticking to my guns on this one till proven wrong. It's "stairs". :P

True. "Stairs" can physiclly block the way but "stares" can't. This issue needs to be resolved.

Admire the concrete landscaping.

Some say land of paradise,some say land of pain. Well which side are you looking from.


Soapbox stares bar the way.

When I am traveling, and away from my wife and kids –

“To hear your voice is not enough, it’s more than a shame.”

Or how about -

You threw out the past, when you threw out what was mine.”

or -

“We quote each other only when we’re wrong. Tear out the threads, move along, can’t seem to find common ground.”
Finally –

Verbal backslide rushes out like grapeshot finds prey

Broken-down lessons learned, redeemed on epitaphs
By blindfolded regulars, with countenance to switchback
Echo farewell to midnight, to the loneliness of the chase
To the minutes passed his red letter, to Elysian Fields defaced

No pangs provide delivery, breaking out of the throes
No reverie decided, just a wide swing tremolo
No mercy in a pokerface, lend an ear before you go
No sentence yet decided, just a wide swing tremolo
