My Brightest Diamond - Ding Dang текст песни

You were workin' for a man behind a velvet curtain
You were good and you were certain of what you were headed for
But then snap kerplam kalamazoo
Low and behold he was lyin' to you
And with revelation come repercussions
That have you at your end
In a great SNAFU your arrow bends

Did you set your sights upon a target moving
Did you hope in some fickle false fable
A glass is at the top, but the diamonds on the bottom
What is a rightful dream or a better expectation

All things are not as they appear
That which was far has become near
In a great SNAFU it comes but disappears

All things are not as they appear
That which was far has become near
In a twist or two you're grinning ear to ear
