Diminishing Returns Songtext
von Dan Mangan

Everyone agrees, we are concerned
One place underwater, another burns
No one is surprised, but everybody′s shocked
With diminishing returns

Worn out shoes from pacing 'round the room
The hashtag used is universal doom
Fished up all the fishes, and wishing for more wishes
With diminishing returns


You could say the walls are caving in
That the waves will come
And wash away these castles made of sand
Doesn′t change the way I feel
'Cause what's real, is you and me in the afternoon
Just your love in the afternoon

Don′t presume to know what is in store
Or just how many wolves are at the door
But I have seen your body bending
With the morning light ascending
And I will die defending our diminishing returns

Oh, you could say the walls are caving in
That the waves will come
And wash away these castles made of sand
Doesn′t change the way I feel
'Cause what′s real is you and me in the afternoon
Just your love in the afternoon

Even just the thought of you
Well, I love you in the afternoon
