lyrics

Matchbook Sam
Has slept a wink
Only from approved window
Ledges does he watch the world go by
His glass is looking for a spy

Sandpaper Adam
Draws his cloak around him
And the awkward fitting vestments
Shift as he walks along the pavement
He doesn’t talk

Riders at the bus stop
Sealed in their sound sarcophagi
Ascend the steps to would-be heavens
Or wait for the next stop
Adam gets off

Sam and Adam face to face
Though neither one see
They notice something other of each other
And walk away
From destiny

We could be heroes just for one day
We could be
