[Verse 1]
Saw two faces in the glass
Of the pawnshop that I passed
A paper lady waved hello
To someone she knew she didn't know

[Pre-Chorus]
They're sweeping up glass and debris
From our city's latest catastrophe

[Chorus]
But nothing could bring me down today
Nothing could bring me down
No, nothing could bring me down today
Nothing could take my mind away

[Verse 2]
Invisible pictures that I hang
To cover up these walls of shame
They draw me in, they speak to me
Invisible pictures only I can see

[Pre-Chorus]
Blue lights flash, dead figurines
Yellow tape around crime scenes
[Chorus]
But nothing could bring me down today
Nothing could bring me down
No, nothing could bring me down today
Nothing could take my mind away

[Bridge]
The sun sinks down between power lines
Chemtrails glowing in the wake
Everyone has their own different ways
Of making the same mistake

[Verse 3]
Outside the corner laundromat
The wind makes love to a plastic bag
While the drowning captain sleeps in his coat
His ship went down a long time ago

[Pre-Chorus]
The cops don't bother, they got bigger fish
Down at the Kwik Sak, some kid's got a death wish

[Chorus]
But nothing could bring me down today
Nothing could bring me down
No, nothing could bring me down today
Nothing could take my mind
Nothing could take my mind
Nothing could take my mind away
