Waltzing Until Then: Impossible Momentum

Impossible Momentum

You’ve got all the answers
The trophy wife and some plaques on the wall
Daughter’s a heartbreaker
Watch her dive in the swimming pool
Your Rubik’s cube sits with all sides solid
But these amusements are no longer complacent

Impossible momentum
You can’t live up to yourself anymore
Impossible momentum
You’re tempted by the cannibals

You’ve had all the adventures
Deep sea and sky dived and even climbed Everest
Jumped the shark in Memphis
All from your used car dealership
You wake from sleeping atop your mantel
Falling off with a crash on the Ikea coffee table

Impossible momentum
You can’t live up to yourself anymore
Impossible momentum
You’re tempted by the cannibals

Impossible momentum
You can’t live up to yourself anymore
Impossible momentum
You’re tempted by the cannibals
