Pierce - Shiny Thing Lyrics

What is this
To blame yourself
For everything you see
Was a time when all of this
Was made for you & me
I'm not a banker
I'm not a salesman
Does that mean that I have to be controlled by them?

A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
Like a bauble to a raven gets the world spinning
A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
No matter where you look you never find the true beginning
A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
What you lost you just can't come home again

Sometimes you walk away
You can't believe your ears
You try and separate
All the wires and the gears
I'm not a packrat
I'm not a junkman
Does that mean i should be judged by those who take it with them?

A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
Like a bauble to a raven gets the world spinning
A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
No matter where you look you never find the true beginning
A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
What you lost you just can't come home again

One time you realize
You're everything you see
No longer wondering
What it is you'd rather be
I'm not a merchant
I'm not an agent
Does that mean i have to know where all the money went?

A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
Like a bauble to a raven gets the world spinning
A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
No matter where you look you never find the true beginning
A shiny thing a shiny thing a shiny thing
What you lost you just can't come home again
