John Appleseed's Lament Lyrics - Somewhere Under Wonderland - Counting Crows

I stepped out the front door into winter and the world outside 

I stepped out the door to New York City, my hair was barely dry 

I could not remember where I was going, so I went back inside 

Nothing happening in the elevator, nothing happening on the stairs 

Nothing ever happening when I am sleeping, I cannot stay there 

How'd you find a party when you're in your room 

How'd you find the action man, the action is everywhere 

I've been inside to climb outside your bedroom window, paint a picture on a cloud 

Oh if you decide that you can't hide inside your mind 

Provide the slide to get you out 

Feels just like you're falling and you're going down 

But everybody loves you when you hit the ground 

I say a prayer, I say a prayer, I say a prayer to Pocahontas 

I pray to John Appleseed 

Oh I cigarette the winter air, then I felt to stand my way down seventh street 

Some chick yells Jesus love me more than I know but less than I need 

I parade down the valley to the battery and then I step off into the air 

Point my sunglasses east towards Jerusalem and then follow all the Pharaohs there 

They're building pyramids in last square 

Driving in circles round the circus 'til the circles in the air 

My love says come on Adam tell me what the hell is wrong with you 

She says, come on Adam tell me, what the hell am I supposed to do? 

She says, I could love you, I could leave you, I can't live what you put me through
