There Goes a Schmuck

from Difficult To Like (demos) by David Safran

/

lyrics

Beauty rolled through you so quickly:
Had it when you were seventeen,
With an enviable tan at thirty,
And a handful of nights in between.

And like all ruins you look best by moonlight
And moments in the day when you feel stuck.
Is it: there goes a man or there goes a schmuck?

You dream of old loves lately.
You misremember the past.
That’s not bravery, baby –
That’s saving your own ass.

And like all ruins you look best by moonlight
And moments in the day when you feel stuck.
Is it: there goes a man or there goes a schmuck?

What you’ve learned from growing older,
Yes, the only honest fact,
Is that you now brush forward
What you used to slick back.

And like all ruins you look best by moonlight
And moments in the day when you feel luck.
Is it: there goes a man or there goes a schmuck?
