• I get so nervous - I'm shaking
    It's so I got no pride at all
    It gets so bad but

    I just keep coming back for more
    Guess I just get off on that stuff

    I'm thinking about taking some time

    I'm thinkin about leavin soon
    I got some things I can't tell anyone
    I got some things I just can't say
    They're the kinda things that no one

    knows about just need somebody to talk to me
    I'm thinking about leaving tomorrow
    I'm thinking about being on my own
    Think I've been wasting my time

    I'm thinking about getting out
    I'm thinking about getting out
    In all this time
    the bottom line you dont know how much I feel
    You say you see but I dont agree.
    Dont know - dont know how I feel.
    Just trying to get myself some gravity

    You're just trying to get me to say.
    Sometimes I sit here
    looking down upon Los Angeles
    Sometimes I'm floating away

    Thinkin about breaking myself
    I'm thinking about getting back home
    I think I've been waiting way to long

    I'm thinking about getting out
    I'm thinking about getting out
    I'm thinking about getting out

  • She sat right down on the sofa
    Says where have you been?
    I been waiting for you
    Cause last night

    I had something so good
    These days get so long
    and I got nothing to do
    I been hanginaround

    this town on the corner
    I been bummin' around
    this old town so long
    I been hanginaround

    this town on the corner
    I been bummin' around
    this old town for way too long
    We spend all day getting sober
    just hiding from daylight

    watching tv
    We just look a lot better in the blue light
    Well you know I gotta get out
    Well I'm stuck so tight weighed by the chains that keep me

    I been hanginaround
    this town on the corner
    I been bummin' around
    this old town so long

    I been hanginaround
    this town on the corner
    I been bummin' around
    this old town for way too long

    This girl listens to the band playShe says where have you been?
    I been lying right here on the floor
    (right here on the floor)

    Well I got all this time to be waiting
    for what is mine
    to be hating
    what I am

    after the love has faded
    Hanginaround this town on a corner
    I been bummin' around this old town so long
    I been hanginaround this town on a corner

    I been bummin' around this old town for way way way way way too long
    way way way way too long
    way way way way too long
    way way way way too long

    (live insert) oh my god i say

    Son, I see the day is dawning?
    (she said well get up get dressed get out)
    It's almost half past noon?

  • I am colorblind
    Coffee black and egg white
    Pull me out from inside
    I am ready
    I am ready
    I am ready
    I am


    Taffy stuck, tongue tied
    Stuttered shook and uptight
    Pull me out from inside I am ready
    I am ready
    I am ready
    I am...fine

    I am covered in skin

    No one gets to come in
    Pull me out from inside
    I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
    I am colorblind
    Coffee black and egg white
    Pull me out from inside I am ready
     

    I am ready
    I am ready
    I am...fine
    I am.... fine
    I am fine
  • All I want is something good
    it gets harder every time
    She is leaving here tonight
    take a breath

    take your time
    spread your wings and rise
    Make a mark upon the wall
    Paint your face and pass the time

    Close your eyes as she ascends
    Hold your breath and ease your mind
    forty thousand times
    Time ...fades into the night

    They descend and then they climb
    Feathers falling through the night
    Have you seen Ohio rise?
    It has been four days and nights

    All I want is something fine
    It gets harder every time
    She is sleeping far away
    Take a breath

    take your time
    spread your wings and rise
    Rise into the black Ohio skies
    They descend and then they climb
    Feathers falling through the night

    Have you seen ohio rise
    It has been four days and nights
  • Thought I might get a rocket ride
    when I was a child
    but it was a lie
    that I told myself when I needed something good

    At 17 had a better dream
    Now I'm 33 and it isn't me
    But I'd think of something better if I could
    All my friends and lovers

    will leave me behind
    and I'm still looking for a girl
    One way or another
    I'm just hoping to find a way

    to put my feet out in the world
    Caught some grief from a falling leaf
    as she tumbled down on to the dirty ground
    And said I should have put her back there if I could

    Well everyone needs a better day
    and I'm trying to find me a better way
    To get through the things I do and the things I should
    All my friends and lovers
    they leave me alone

    to try to have a little fun
    One way or another
    I just wish I had known
    to go out walking in the sun

    to find out if you were the one
    Does it make you wanna come a little closer now?
    and did you want to dance with me?
    Did you wanna hum a little harder now?
    Can you see her?

    waiting there
    Can you see her?
    because I'm almost there
    Can you see her
    waiting there for someone like me

    Well all you want is a beauty queen
    but not a superstar
    but everybody's dream machine
    All you want is a place to lay your head

    You go to sleep dreamin' how you would
    be a different kind if you thought you could
    But you come awake the way you are instead
    All my friends and lovers

    they shine like the sun
    Well I just turn and walk away
    One way or another
    I'm not comin' undone

    I'm just waiting for the day
    All my friends
    Ah
    All my friends
    Oh oh oh

    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh
    Ah ah
  • If I could make it rain today
    and wash away this sunny day down to the gutter
    I would
    just to get a change of pace

    Things are getting worse, but I feel a lot better
    and that's all that really matters to me
    Well, Amy hit the atmosphere
    Caught herself a rocket ride out of this gutter

    and she's never coming back I fear
    Anytime it rains she just feels a lot better
    and that's all that really matters to me
    We've waited so long

    for someone to take us back home
    it just takes so long
    Meanwhile all the days go drifting away
    and some of us sink like a stone

    waiting for mothers to come
    There has to be a change I'm sure
    Today was just a day fading into another
    and that can't be what a life is for

    And anything she said well she feels a lot better
    and that's all that really matters to me
    We've waited so long
    for someone to take us back home

    It just takes so long
    Meanwhile the days go drifting away
    and some of us sink like a stone
    waiting for mothers to come

    I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
    I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
    All I really know is I wanna know
    And all I really know is I don't wanna know

  • Staring out of his window as the world rushes by
    Arthur Robinson closes the glass and replies,
    "I dream of ballerinas and I don't know why?
    But I see Cadillac's sailing.

    I was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
    Maryland and Virginia have faded away
    And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
    so I am endlessly waiting

    The comet is coming between
    me and the girl who could make it all clean
    Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
    walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream

    Carrie's down in her basement all toe shoes and twinned
    With the girl in the mirror who spins when she spins,
    From where you think you will end up to the state that you’re in
    Your reflection approaches and then recedes again. Yeah

    And the comet is coming between
    me and the girl who could make it all clean
    Out there in the shadow of the modern machines
    Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream

    I have dreamed of a black car that shimmers and drives
    down the length of the evening to the carnival’s side
    In a house where regret is a carousel ride
    We are spinning and spinning and spinning

    There’s a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell
    There’s a girl in the basement coming out of her shell
    And there are people who will say they knew me so well
    I may not go to heaven..
    I hope you go to hell!

    The comet is coming between
    me and the girl who could make it all clean
    Out there in the shadow of a modern machine
    walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream

    In his dream.
    St. Robinson in his dream.
    Some people are never quite what they seem
    Come on baby come on darling
    Lets just Get into my car and drive. She says I always do the same things over and over
  • Well I woke up in mid afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
    I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
    If dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts
    You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
    Well I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame

    I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
    If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame
    And though I'll never forget your face sometimes I can't remember my name
    Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't cry

    Hey, Mrs. Potter, I know why
    But, hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
    Well there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
    And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings

    And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
    And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything
    Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
    Oh and the ghosts of the tilt-o-whirl will linger inside of your head

    Oh and the ferris wheel junkies will spin there forever instead
    When I see you, a blanket of stars covers me in my bed
    Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't go, I said
    Hey, Mrs. Potter, I don't know, but

    Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
    Well all the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
    And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
    All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep

    Hey, I can bleed as well as anyone but I need someone to help me sleep
    So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
    It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
    Well I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem

    Aw, but I'd sure like to find out
    so why don't you climb down off that movie screen
    Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't turn
    Hey, Mrs. Potter, I burn for you

    Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
    When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
    and orders another
    Well, I wonder what he did that for

    That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before
    So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door. Yeah.
    We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
    We stand up in the Palace, like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars

    Aw, we shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
    Well, you can see a million miles tonight
    but you can't get very far
    Aw, you can see a million miles tonight

    but you can't get very far
    Hey, Mrs. Potter, I won't touch and
    Hey, Mrs. Potter, it's not much but
    Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me (3X)
  • The devil's in the dreamin'
    He tells you I'm not sleepin'
    in my motel room alone
    With nothing to believe in

    you dive into the traffic rising up
    and it's so quiet
    you're surprised and then you wake
    For all the things you're losing

    you might as well resign yourself to try and make a change
    And I'm going down to Hollywood
    They're gonna make a movie from the things
    that they find crawling around my brain
    I wish I was a girl

    so that you could believe me
    and I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
    I wish for all the world
    that I could say

    Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
    these days
    The devil's in the dreamin'
    You see yourself descending

    from the building to the ground
    And you watch the sky receding
    and you spin to see the traffic
    rising up and it's so quiet

    and you're surprised and then you wake
    For all the things I'm losing
    I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
    And I'm going down to Hollywood

    They're gonna make a movie from the things
    that they find crawling round my brain
    I wish I was a girl
    so that you could believe me

    and I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
    I wish for all the world
    that I could say
    Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right
    these days

    And in one of these dreams
    you forgive me
    It makes me think of the bad decisions
    that keep you at home

    How could anyone else have changed
    But these are wrong conclusions
    that leave you alone
    How could everyone rearrange

    How could everyone else have changed
    What I see
    I believe
    For all the things I'm losing

    I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
    And I'm going down to Hollywood
    They're gonna make a movie from the things
    that they find crawling round my brain
    (chorus) Well I can't sleep at night

  • Such a life
    Such a life
    Such a life
    I'm a comet .. honestly

    I don't know why"
    All my friends got flowers in their eyes
    but I got none this season
    All of last year's blooms have gone and died

    Time doesn't give a reason
    Hey baby do you ask yourself
    sometimes what you need to be forgiven
    Everything that you ever done wrong

    is the reason that I'm driven
    straight to you
    Waiting here for you
    Wanting to tell you

    how I get my ends and my beginnings mixed up, too
    just the way you do
    I thought if I told you
    You might want to stay for just another day or two

    It's just like answers
    that come in small packages that go in the mail
    Waiting for the trains that just never come
    Beginning to believe in the disappearing nature of

    the people we have been
    We have begun to change
    into the worst kind of people
    So unkind Oh apologies

    No apologies
    This apology doesn't describe
    the way it feels to feel for you
    Waiting here for you

    Wanting to tell you
    how I find myself
    slowly disappearing too
    just the way you do

    I thought if I told you
    you might want to help me to remain with you
    I just wanna stay for a little while
    I wanna stay a little while

    Oh, come on (4 times)
    There's a night life falling down on me
    I just feel like a change
    Beneath the sun in the summer a sea of flowers

    won't bloom without the rain
    But oh this desert life
    This high life
    Here at the dying end of the day

    I wasn't made for the scene, baby
    But I was made in this scene, baby
    It's just my way
    I don't wanna go home alone

    I wanna come on home to you
    Waiting here for you
    Wanting to tell you
    how I line my sky with all the silver I can use

    just the way you do
    I thought if I told you
    you might want to stay for just another day or two

    (whispering-like)

    Isn't that just like
    disappearing into the sum of yourself
    and the person you are disappearing into it's like one plus one equals nothing at all
    one plus two equals nothing at all

    one plus me equals nothing at all
    one plus you equals one plus you equals you equals
    you and you and you and nothing at all
