Fault Line

You don't see me but I have always seen you Study for my survival like the San Andreas fault line Way you arrange your pencils when You are feeling threatened I do it myself now When the world's about to cave in About to cave in And just like a shark, you taught me to keep moving Bite like a bulldog, doesn't matter long as you win Long as you win How much do I love you? Let me count the ways Road trips for no reason Tattered science fiction Escargot and oysters Doritos and Fig Newtons Buttered bread after dinner Pressing crumbs like your grandfather did And his father did And just like a shark, you taught me to keep moving Bite like a bulldog, doesn't matter long as you win And just like a shark, you taught me to keep moving Bite like a bulldog, doesn't matter long as you win Long as you win Long as you win It was out at the video store, we were making our case And you were hearing us out And our mother was out in the car with the heater on 'Cause we were being too loud And you asked the kid with the nametag who he thought Had done the best job Still never met anyone like you who can make a game Out of something so dull
