about

This song was written by my friend, the brilliant writer, John Caelan.

lyrics

Even You

Like an idol bronzing in the sun,


You’re feeling like you’re number one;


Well, better days, you can’t recall-


You got it made; you got it all.


You’re strutting down the avenue,


You hear something old, yet something new.


Maybe you’ll just hum along-


Reminds you of the Bowie song…

And while you’re digging through that vinyl in your mind,
Open up your heart and tell me what you find in there;


And if you’re hearing shades of Hallelujah, too,


Well, good for you.
You saw right through.

You’re living like the kings of old;

Your days are bought, your nights are sold,

And, in between, your friends appease you


‘Til you’ve got them on their knees-you’d

Be satisfied if they were on all fours,

As long as someone does your chores.

You never thought to look behind you,

Sure the future would not find you.

You thought your cleverness brought fortune from above.
You never realized, it’s luck that you were running off of.

You claim your innocence, the devil claims his due-


You say, Even me?
Yes, even you.
Even you.

Even you

Even you, dear….ooooooooo

Even you, 


Even you.
Even you, dear, ooooooo


Even you.
You’ll find that you don’t got a friend

When you haven’t got a dime to lend
.
They’ll leave you dry, they’ll leave you there-

They’ll leave you with your cupboards bare.
And even when your fate is clear,

You’re sure salvation will appear.

You think the knocking at your door

Is someone there to bring you more.
The numbers on your arm will tell them who you are.

Another tired face in line to ride the rail car.

They’ll lay you in the ground, you still won’t have a clue:
You’ll say, Even me?

Yes, even you.
Even you……
