Another Travellin' Song Lyrics - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - Bright Eyes

Well I'm changin all my strings 

I'm gonna write another travelin' song 

About all the billion highways 

And the cities at the break of dawn 

Well, I guess the best that I can do now 

Is pretend that I done nothing wrong 

And a dream about a train that's gonna 

Take me back where I belong 

Well, now the ocean speaks and spits 

And I can hear it from the interstate 

And I'm screaming at my brother on a cell phone 

He is far away 

I'm saying nothing in the past or future 

Ever will feel like today 

Until we're parking in an alley 

Just hopin' that our shit is safe 

So I go back and forth forever 

All my thoughts they come in pairs 

Oh, I will, I won't, I do, I don't 

I'm not surprised 

But I never feel quite prepared 

Now I'm hunched over a typewriter 

I guess you'd call that paintin' in a cave 

And there's a word I can't remember 

And a feeling I cannot escape 

And now my ashtray's overflowing 

I'm still staring at a clean white page 

Oh, and morning's at my window 

And she is sending me to bed again 

Well, I dreamed a dark on the horizon 

I dreamed a desert where the dead lay down 

I dreamed a prostituted child 

Touching an old man in a fast food crowd 

I dreamed a ship was sinking 

There was people screaming all around 

And I awoke to my alarm clock 

It was a pop song, it was playin' loud 

So I will find my fears and face them 

I will cower like a dog 

I will kick and scream 

I will kneel and plead 

I'll fight like hell, to hide that I'm givin' up
