Put it Back Together

Doesn’t it seem to be you and me
Take it all apart so we can
Put it all back together later on
And wouldn’t you quite agree with me
We’re restless souls of history
And nothing really lasts very long
And half the fun of building them castles is
Tearing them down
I’ve been run into the ground with these hassles
Tryin to find what I already found
Put it back together it’ll be better than ever
Put it back together you know nothing lasts forever
Though we tried and tried to make it right
It fell to pieces over night
And now it’s time to put it back together

There doesn’t really need to be a remedy
One day I took apart my TV
And I still couldn’t find a thing in it that I wanted to see
So I put it back together and it didn’t work
So I looked at the weather
It was a beautiful day so I went out to play
And I’m glad I took my TV apart.
But half the fun of building them castles is
Tearing them down
And I’ve been run into the ground with these hassles
Tryin to find what I already found
Put it back together it’ll be better than ever
Put it back together you know nothing lasts forever
Though we tried and tried to make it right
It fell to pieces over night
And now it’s time to put it back together

Sewn to the pocket of the big boss man there’s
A wink and a stare and a master plan
And a whole lot more no one will ever know
Thought he’d be a captain of industry
Not just another sucker with a lemon tree
But nothing really lasts very long
And up and down all the Main Streets and sidewalks
The worn down signs tell the tale
You and I we got buckets of daydreams
And a strong wind behind our sail
Put it back together it’ll be better than ever
Put it back together you know nothing lasts forever
Though we tried and tried to make it fit
It fell to pieces all of it
And now it’s time to put it back together

Exit Reunion New York, New York

In October, 2011, soon after a rousing, 20-year reunion show at Bobby Q's in Westport, CT, members of the erstwhile jam band, Left Exit, got together in a studio made of reclaimed bowling lanes in Brooklyn, NY to begin recording what would, a year later, become RECREATION, a 2-disc, 14-song album by a band of one time road warriors with some unfinished business. Thus was born Exit Reunion. ... more
