I can feel the knives in my back, in my sides. As my body slowly fades. Can you reach into time?. Bring me back here alive?. Set the ocean's tides straight.
And she says it's cold. And she says the sky's about to fall. How do you know?. Well, she says the writing's on the wall. . Everything I made I somehow broke.
You say that love is a disease. Restless in its company. Like a river to the sea is where you run. You say that all the birds have flown. The heart an antique turned to stone.
I checked my pulse, said all my prayers. Walked a thousand miles, haven't gotten anywhere. The table's set, change is gonna come. I'm a patient man, but it's been too long.
Alone in a crowd, a missin' planet. You crash to the ground,. You never planned that, It just happened this way.. It happened this way.. . The starts in your eyes,.
You don't know me, but I see you. You got your spotlight, I got my rear-view. I've seen it all before. I keep coming back for more. . You got your finger on the trigger.
I'm not lookin' for trouble, I'm takin' one on the chin. I don't know where I'm going or where to begin. Alone in this room, thinkin' of you and what could've been.
I picked you up, I held you out. I love you, I love you. I placed you down, I held my breath. I wonder, yeah, I wonder. What'd I do? You're not around.
See the light in the distance. Ten seconds from sleep. If you blink you could miss it. Voluntarily. If it's home that you're missing. Better call the police.
Comes a time when you get turned around and. Life itself just wears you out but. You keep getting ready for the big parade. . Ah, you shine your shoes and you fake a smile.
She sits quiet in the shadow of the sun. She looks tired, a life that's come undone. She turns, turns, turns, turns. . She likes hockey and summers by the lake.
Makin' plans for your escape. Get between all the ricochets. Assume positions in the sky. Fly away with the butterflies. . Rest your head in Pacific grove.
How do we agree?. How do we exceed?. Places that our lives have taken. Sharpened instruments. Failed experiments. Faces of the occupation. . Boxing helps. I guess, I think it toughens your mind.
I could be your greatest accident. I could be the blood on your fingertips. Nothing's wrong. Nothing to regret. Just want to breathe you in. . If this is it.
Fire in the hen house. Protests in the deep south. It's Shangri-La in reverse. Time to call the wet nurse. Markets on the rebound. Riots in the ghost towns.
Hang me up to dry with your clothes. Drink away the fear in my bones. Save me from this ugly landfill. Sun will scare away this winter chill. . [Chorus].
Every time I think of you. I feel the coldest chill. I think about your great escape. An artist with expert skills. It's painful when you're not around.
A mother sets the dinner table. Son crashes to the pavement, yeah. A father working just to make ends. We spend our lives to try and make sense of it.
I know a girl, got a long snake moan. A fever in her head and a restless soul. I got a feeling that the church don't know. What the church don't know, the church don't mind.
Skies like angels turn to rust. We hide inside our pickup trucks. Thoughts heavy like aeroplanes. Come crashing down and burst in flames. Memories, I'd cash them in for peace of mind and some discipline.
