Counting Crows şarkı sözleri
Round Here
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white. And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right. I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again Where? I don't know Maria says she's dying through the door I hear her crying Why? I don't know [Chorus] Round here we always stand up straight Round here something radiates Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land just like she's walking on a wire in the circus she parks her car outside of my house takes her clothes off says she's close to understanding Jesus she knows she's just a little misunderstood she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous [Chorus:] Round here we're carving out our names Round here we all look the same Round here we talk just like lions But we sacrifice like lambs Round here she's slipping through my hands Sleeping children better run like the wind out of the lightning dream Mama's little baby better get herself in out of the lightning She says It's only in my head She says Shhh I know it's only in my head But the girl in car in the parking lot says 'Man you should try to take a shot can't you see my walls are crumbling?' Then she looks up at the building and says she's thinking of jumping She says she's tired of life she must be tired of something Round here she's always on my mind Round here hey man got lots of time Round here we're never sent to bed early And nobody makes us wait Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late Omaha Start tearing the old man down Run past the heather and down to the old road Start turning the grain into the ground Roll a new leaf over In the middle of the night there's an old man Treading around in the gathered rain Hey mister if you want to walk on water Would you drop a line my way [Chorus:] Omaha Somewhere in middle America Get right to the heart of matters It's the heart that matters more I think you'd better turn your ticket in And leave your money right at the door Start threading the needle Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room Start turning the wool across the wire Roll the new life over In the middle of the night there's an old man Threading his toes through a bucket of rain Hey mister if you want to walk on water You're only going to walk all over me [Chorus] Start running the banner down Drop past the color come up through the summer rain Start turning the girl into the ground Roll a new life over In the middle of the night there's a young man Rolling around in the earth and rain Hey mister if you're going to walk on water, you know You're only going to walk all over me Mr.Jones I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black- haired flamenco dancer She dances while his father plays guitar She's suddenly beautiful We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful So come dance this silence down through the morning Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones Believe in me Help me believe in anything I want to be someone who believes Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales Stare at the beautiful women 'She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me.' Smiling in the bright lights Coming through in stereo When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely I will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful Gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play Mr. Jones and me look into the future Stare at the beautiful women 'She's looking at you. I don't think so. She's looking at me.' Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely I want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats We all want to be big big stars, but we got different reasons for that Believe in me because I don't believe in anything and I want to be someone to believe Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio Yeah we stare at the beautiful women 'She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be somebody for me.' I want to be Bob Dylan Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be Mr. Jones and me staring at the video when I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know how But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars... Perfect Blue Buildings Just down the street from your hotel, baby I stay at home with my disease And ain't this position familiar, darling Well, all monkeys do what they see Help me stay awake, I'm falling... Down on Virginia and La Loma Where I got friends who'll care for me You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted I got an attitude of need Help me stay awake, I'm falling... [CHORUS:] Asleep in perfect blue buildings Beside the green apple sea Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby Try to keep myself away from me (myself and) me It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday It doesn't get much worse than this In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle of these lives which are completely meaningless Help me stay awake, I'm falling... [CHORUS] I got bones beneath my skin, and mister... There's a skeleton in every man's house Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody There's a dead man trying to get out Please help me stay awake, I'm falling... Anna Begins My friend assures me 'it's all or nothing' I am not worried- I am not overly concerned My friend implores me ' for one time only, make an exception.' I am not not worried Wrap her up in a package of lies Send her off to a coconut island I am not worried - I am not overly concerned with the status of my emotions 'oh', She says, 'were changing.' But were always changing It does not bother me to say this isn't love Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love and I guess I'm going to have to live that but, I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray or something in between and I can always change my name if that's what you mean My friend assures me 'it's all or nothing` But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned You try to tell your self the things you try tell your self to make yourself forget to make your self forget I am not worried 'If it's love' she said, 'then were gonna have to think about the consequences' She can't stop shaking and I can t stop touching her and..... This time when kindness falls like rain It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind 'these seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days' she says. And I'm not ready for this sort of thing But I'm not gonna break And I'm not going to worry about it anymore I'm not gonna bend. And I'm not gonna break and I'm not gonna worry about it anymore It seems like I should say 'as long as this is love...' But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just snap her up in a butterfly net- Pin her down on a photograph album I am not worried I've done this sort of thing before But then I start to think about the consequences Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and... The time when kindness falls like rain It washes me away and Anna begins change my mind And every time she sneezes I believe it's love and oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing She s talking in her sleep-it s keeping me awake And Anna begins to toss and turn And every word is nonsense but I understand and and oh lord. I m not ready for this sort of thing Her kindness bangs a gong It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away It s chasing me away. She dissappears, and oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing Rain King When I think of heaven Deliver me in a black-winged bird I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers And all other instruments of faith and sex and God In the belly of a black-winged bird. Don't try to feed me I've been here before And I deserve a little more [chorus] I belong in the service of the Queen I belong anywhere but in between She's been crying and I've been thinking And I am the Rain King [verse] And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone I can't go outside I'm scared I might not make it home I'm alive, I'm alive But I'm sinking in If there's anyone at home at your place, darling Why don't you invite me in? Don't try to bleed me I've been there before And I deserve a little more [chorus] I belong in the service of the Queen I belong anywhere but in between She's been lying and I've been sinking And I am the Rain King [bridge] Hey, I only want the same as anyone Henderson is waiting for the sun Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends After all the dreaming I come home again [verse] When I think of heaven Deliver me in a black-winged bird I think of dying Lay me down in a field of flame and heather Render up my body into the burning heart of God In the belly of a black-winged bird Don't try to bleed me I've been here before And I deserve a little more [chorus] I belong in the service of the queen I belong anywhere but in between She's been dying and I've been drinking And I am the Rain King Time And Time Again I wanted so badly Somebody other than me Staring back at me But you were gone I wanted to see you walking backwards And get the sensation of you coming home I wanted to see you walking away from me Without the sensation of you leaving me alone [CHORUS:] Time and time again Time and time again Time and time again I can't please myself I wanted the ocean to cover over me I wanna sink slowly without getting wet Maybe someday, I won't be so lonely And I'll walk on water every chance I get [CHORUS] So when are you coming home Sweet angel? You leaving me alone? All alone? Well if I'm drowning darling, you'll come down this way on your own I wish I was traveling on a freeway Beneath this graveyard western sky I'm gonna set fire to this city And out into the desert we're gonna ride Sullivan Street Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St. Cross the water and home through the town Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet Pretty soon now I won't come around I'm almost drowning in her sea She's nearly fallen to her knees Take the way home Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St. Where all the bodies hang on the air If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet Either way now, I don't really care Cause I'm gone from there I'm almost drowning in her seas She's nearly crawling on her knees She's down on her knees Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St. Where I'm just another rider burned to the ground Come tumbling down I'm almost drowning in her sea She's nearly crawling on her knees It's almost everything I need I'm down on my knees I'm down on my knees Ghost Train I took the cannon ball down to the ocean across the desert from the sea to shining sea I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation 50 million feet of earth between the buried and me 'How do you do?' She said 'Hey, how do you do?' She buys a ticket cause it's cold were she comes from she climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow love is a ghost train through the darkness hold on to me darling I got no place to go 'How do you do?' She said 'Hey, how do you do?' I took the cannonball down to the ocean watch the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves love is a ghost train howling on the radio 'Remember everything' She said 'When only memory Remains' 'how do you do?' She said 'Hey, how do you do?' Raining In Baltimore This circus is falling down on its knees The big top is crumbling down It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east Where you should be, no one's around I need a phone call I need a raincoat I need a big love I need a phone call These train conversations are passing me by And I don't have nothing to say You get what you pay for But I just had no intention of living this way I need a phone call I need a plane ride I need a sunburn I need a raincoat And I get no answers And I don't get no change It's raining in Baltimore, baby But everything else is the same There's things I remember and things I forget I miss you I guess that I should Three thousand five hundred miles away But what would you change if you could? I need a phone call Maybe I should buy a new car I can always hear a freight train If I listen real hard And I wish it was a small world Because I'm lonely for the big towns I'd like to hear a little guitar I think it's time to put the top down I need a phone call I need a raincoat alıntı |

Murder Of One
Blue morning Blue morning Wrapped in strands of fist and bone Curiosity, Kitten, Doesn't have to mean you're on your own You can look outside your window He doesn't have to know We can talk awhile, baby We can take it nice and slow All your life is such a shame, shame, shame All your love is just a dream, dream, dream Are you happy when you're sleeping? Does he keep you safe and warm? Does he tell you when you're sorry? Does he tell you when you're wrong? I've been watching you for hours It's been years since we were born We were perfect when we started I've been wondering where we've gone All your life is such a shame All your love is just a dream I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows One for sorrow Two for joy Three for girls and four for boys Five for silver Six for gold and Seven for a secret never to be told There's a bird that nests inside you Sleeping underneath your skin When you open up your wings to speak I wish you'd let me in All your life is such a shame All your love is just a dream Open up your eyes You can see the flames of your wasted life You should be ashamed You don't want to waste your life I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me Change, change, change Big Yellow Taxi They paved paradise and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot [Vanessa Carlton] Ooooh, bop bop bop Ooooh, bop bop bop [Adam] They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them No, no, no Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot [Vanessa] Ooooh, bop bop bop Ooooh, bop bop bop [Adam] Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT I don't care about spots on my apples, Leave me the birds and the bees Please Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot Why not? [Vanessa] Ooooh, bop bop bop Ooooh, bop bop bop [Adam] Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi took my girl away Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Well, don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise to put up a parking lot Why not? They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Hey hey hey Paved paradise and put up a parking lot [Vanessa] Ooooh, bop bop bop Ooooh, bop bop bop [Adam, Vanessa] I don't wanna give it Why you wanna give it Why you wanna giving it all away Hey, hey, hey Now you wanna give it I should wanna give it Now you wanna giving it all away Hey, paved paradise to put up a parking lot Were Only Love Who built the ball that is this earth? Gave me life, and water for my thirst. Home for a heart till death from birth And we're only love, at it's best or worst. Love calling your name I will live on Calling your name Who wrote the pages of our lives? In black and white, and taught me wrong from right It's your heart that held you tight But we're only love Spin me around and round and round Love calling your name I will live on Calling your name And the world seems like my enemy The waterfall of frowns And the wave of life will capture me And I'm falling down upon love C'mon now darling I'm falling falling down on love I'm falling down, falling down on love I'm falling down on love Barely Out Of Tuesday Woke up to this morning staring at the ceiling hoping for deliverance from the distances in you. this room feels like an oven somewhere south of no where north of nothing barely out of Tuesday seen seven hours of Wednesday And I guess got regrets maybe you could leave a light on leave a light on for me can you see her waiting there down by the sea with a hat on, with her eyes in there looking for me. if you see me coming home turn me away everybody tries to go back somewhere someday Wont you give me the distance 52 weeks later, your still the same I'm standing im my basement making my arrangements waiting for the telephone to ring to ring to ring So I left for Minnesota where the weather is getting colder people are changing maybe you could leave a light on leave a light on for me can you see her waiting there down by the sea & how arrangements made there for welcoming me? if you see me coming home turn me away everybody tries to go back somewhere someday And for all this distance aint going to bring you to me what's the point of all this patience its not your nature you just keep what you need and you got some pictures of me woke up Wendsday morning sometime Wednesday evening hoping for a piece of something easy to believe we live out on the border of everything and nothing theres nothing but waking and dreaming barely out of tuesday theres no one to receive me nothing is changing maybe you could leave a light on leave a light on for me can you see her waiting there down by the sea there's a light on but there's no body waiting for me. if you see me coming home turn me away everybody tries to go back somewhere someday everybody tries to go back somewhere someday everybody tries to go back somewhere someday everybody tries to go back somewhere......... Shallow Days Mary Jane says it's all right She's just around the corner from the main light. Any day now, it's all right She's standing on the precipice of big time. And I know I'm a little uptight, I've got to go before the sun shines. We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life, We need a little good time. It's not far from the edge, Mary comes and goes. Drifting through the scenery of the shallow days below, That is anybody knows. You follow trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon. Yeah well I saw Mary Jane dragged her shadow down the tracks, Stare off in the distance. It's not far from here, Mary waves hello. Smiling though she's sinking in the shallow days below, I can't find a way out of here. Out on the road again, I'm much, much too concerned about Mary Jane. I'm all alone again, I like what she said, not what it means. She leaves me drowning through the shallow days, down below. You know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall The sun is sinking lower. People staring, Mary Jane humming softly to herself, Nobody really knows her. Any day now it's all right, She tells herself that this will be the last time. Mary Jane pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all her free time. Not too far from here, Mary turns to go. Smiling while the waltz begins, dancing down the road Hey hey Mr. Freedom, What are we supposed to think? 'Cause I'm a very tiny person and it worries me. I'm all alone again, I like what she says, not what it means. She leaves me drowning in the shallow days way down below. 'I'm sorry', she said, 'I know it's not the kind of thing you want.' I'm falling, falling down. 'I'm sorry', she said. 'I know I'm not the kind of girl you want.' We're falling, falling, falling, falling down. Margery Dreams Of Horses In the still water she lies down Shaking through the press of sunlight We rolled into Lexington She shakes off the drop of daylight Water beading up her chest Bleeding down between her knees Rivers in Kentucky flow Between the bluegrass wavy seas But oh, Margery Twists the knife once more inside of me Breathless with anticipation Baited reelers set their hooks Tuck their heads beneath the high grass And lie and wait beside the brooks Were infants pushing slowly through Frustration leading back along The alleys of a childhood That will not release us willingly But oh, Margery ..sticks the knife in while I couldn't see (strait into me baby) Dust me off and shut me down And dream of where I haven't been Close the door inside my heart Stuck in the south Atlantic wind I have hollow eyes Haunting only to myself Even so, I can't stop calling These great big hollows in my self I took the train form California To the far side of the continent Woke up in Kentucky Where a wedding was about to end I looked up at Anna She turned back to look at me It's best to kill the ones that matter Render blind the ones who see But oh, Margery Takes the blade and walks away from me Oh, Margery Love like blood is pouring out of me Oh, Margery My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby Oh, I can't shut it in It's got far too many doors to block the wind Oh, I can't shut it in It's got far too many doors to block the wind Good Luck Larry's in vegas..with some chick from La the best things are sevens and sex is just ok so please stay she said just stay cause there's a show at 11 and the drinks are all free you can do better for yourself but not me .... ...so please stay and keep me company. All the while thinking this is the good luck, stays with her most of the time takes time to make these machines work, people are so unkind Gets kinda nervous used to be hard. She takes the edges off evenings in bedrooms and back seats in big cars. All the while thinking this is the good luck stays with her most of the time it takes time to make these machines work people are so unkind. People are so unkind She looks in the mirror to make she's here she keeps disappearing and dreaming of movie stars- weddings and nothing is happening He tries not to notice She thinks he doesn't care. Capture yourself in a jar and you stay there, until you vanish thin air all the while thinking this is the good luck stays with her most of the time it takes time to make these machines work but he aint got time while she's riding in black cars and pokes at the sky to see if he can make stars and people are so unkind people are so unkind.. People are so unkind.. People are so unkind... people are so unkind People are so.. Open All Night Exit 8 Small cafe Georgia moonlight It's three a.m. I've been driving all night Got a funny air Red-brown hair In the porch light She said 'We're open all night So won't you come inside It's gonna be all right' She said tired I said I'm a little bit unstable She said 'Honey, I will help you if I'm able There's a bottle of relief upon the table And we're open all night So won't you come inside It's gonna be all right' She said 'I was born the year the rockets landed Circa 1969 and I got stranded Yeah, but the comet's getting close And I can't stand it.' She said 'We're open all night So won't you come inside Exit A Small cafe Smoke at three Georgia moonlight It's eight a.m. I've been drinking all night And there is nothing I will not do to make it all right She said 'We're open all night So won't you come inside It's gonna be all right' Love And Addiction Put on your bad self get out your party dress and fix up your makeup try to make a good impression this is a new world - were all the same here, well maybe not the same you know what I mean. I've got everything that you want I've got everything and someday Ill be president. I've for everything that you want.. I've got everything except the single thing you really need. Separate, love from addiction its not the same I know I see desperation pulling my strings. Hey eliza now what do you want? I play piano and I sing like a humming bird and oh I forgot that humming birds don't sing, it doesn't matter really you know what I mean. I've got everything that you want I've got everything and its a brand new world eliza. I've got everything that you want.. I've got everything except the single thing you really need. Sail away blood and rejection ..they isolate. I know I see, a generation staring back at me.. Wasted away.... wasted my time this picture you see is nothing like the one I wanted painted of me. 'Eliza says it's all right with me, if your sure ... it wouldn't be the first time, you know it's happened a couple of times before and.. I don't even expect much anymore and anyway... it's not as if I was waiting for you to come and make it all okay'. Shut away to to wing blood and rejection they isolate I know I see visions of people grabbing hold of me. Wasted away... wasted my time... this picture you see is nothing like the one I wanted painted of me. Put on your bad self, get out your party dress and fix up your makeup try and make a good impression.. |

Daylight Fading Demo Sunday morning paper dated 1992 There are cowboys in my kitchen empty bottles on the roof I've been trying to quit these cigarettes I've been trying to think its true Maybe she's gone to California maybe Ill go out there too Daylight fading come and waste another year all the anger and the elegance are bleeding into fear moonlight creeping round the corners of our lawn when she sees the early signs of daylight fading she leaves just before its gone Daddy's on the rooftop with his fingers in the gun and I am waiting at the window I am waiting for the one Shying in that paper when she walked into my room I said I want to say good-bye to you good-bye to all my friends good-bye to everyone I know Daylight fading come and waste another year all the anger and the elegance are bleeding into fear moonlight creeping round the corners of our lawn when she sees the early signs of daylight fading she leaves just before its gone Daylight fading come and waste another year all the anger and the elegance are bleeding into fear moonlight creeping round the corners of our lawn when she sees the early signs of daylight fading she leaves just before its gone Lightning Its crazy but often clear often clear.. We shimmer and disappear In color in black and white black and white.. We slowly fade out of site but these days were lit by lightning thin lines of light Its crazy but somehow clear somehow clear we ride in silence out of fear We've spoken seem come alive come alive we prefer the silence of the blind But these days were lit by lightning thin lines of light these days were lit by lines of sharp white shock white ice hard cold white light were crazy but often kind often kind we rage in violence blind Together and then alone then alone we race in small circles home but these days were lit by lightning Thin lines of light These days were lit by lines of sharp white light these days Were lit by lightning Thin lines of light..... These days.. were lit by light Suffocate Good morning baby, guess you wanna touch me now You wanna put your hands on my face Tell me you love me, Tell me you need me Don't say you love me Don't say anything...

I might call tonight if that's alright why should you come when I call I never say nothing at all why do I go, when I go it's leaving me here all alone you ought to get out on your own Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes To Hollywood) Is everybody happy now? Is everybody clear? We could drive out to the dunes tonight, 'cause summer's almost here. And I've been up all night, I might sleep all day. Get your dreams just right Let them slip away, I might sleep all day. When the roads are clear, We'll head on out of here, If you're coming back, I'll see you in the morning I'm just staring at the ceiling staring back at me, Just waiting for the daylight to come crawling in on me... And I've been up all night, I might sleep all day. Get your dreams just right And let them slip away, I might sleep all day. Ohhh...It's too late to get high now. [2X] fix your hair just right Put your jeans on tight, Wear a dress, so I can get it off real easy. 'Cause I've been thinking I'd like to see your eyes open up real wide the minute that you see me. If you don't come through, I wouldn't wait for you. I understand that everyone goes disappearing, into the greatest grey that covers over everyday, and hovers in the distance and the distance and the distance... I've been up all night, I might sleep all day. Get your dreams just right let them slip away, I might sleep all day. Ohh...It's too late to get high now. [2X] Baby I'm not alone only wanna get high Holiday In Spain Got no place to go but there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico She's got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin And if I bring a little music I can fit right in We've got airplane rides We got California drowning out the window side We've got big black cars And we've got stories how we slept with all the movie stars I may take a holiday in Spain Leave my wings behind me Drink my worries down the drain And fly away to somewhere new Hop on my choo-choo I'll be your engine driver in a bunny suit If you dress me up in pink and white We may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight She's my angel She's a little better than the one that used to be with me Cause she liked to scream at me Man, it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree I may take a holiday in Spain Leave my wings behind me Drive this little girl insane And fly away to someone new Everybody's gone They left the television screaming that the radio's on Someone stole my shoes But there's a couple of bananas and a bottle of booze Oh, well happy new year's baby We could probably fix it if we clean it up all day Or we could simply pack our bags And catch a plane to Barcelona 'cause this city's a drag I may take a holiday in Spain Leave my wings behind me Flush my worries down the drain And fly away to somewhere new Take a holiday in Spain Leave my wings behind me Drive this little girl insane Fly away to someone new Fly away to someone new Fly away to someone new Catapult All of the sudden she disappears just yesterday she was here somebody tell me if I am sleeping someone should be with me here (cause I don't wanna be alone) I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand and I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult What a big baby won't somebody save me please You won't find nobody home all of these quiet battered voices wait for the hunger to come we got little revolvers and stupid choices and no one to say when we're done (Well I don't wanna bring you down) I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes `cause I know there's little things about me that would sing in the silence of so much rejection in every connection I make I can't find nobody home I wanna be the last thing you hear when you're falling asleep.... Angels Of The Silences Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand? I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now Where'd you come from? Where am I going? Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for... Waiting for you All my sins... I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming Every night these silhouettes appear above my head Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper Every time I fall asleep Every time I dream 'Did you come? Would you lie? Why'd you leave us 'till we're only good for... Waiting for you' All my sins... I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book Suck my blood, break my nerve offer me their arms Well, I will not be an enemy of anything I'll only stand here Waiting for you All my sins... I said that I would pay for them if I could come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming Daylight Fading Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you It's getting cold in California I guess I'll be leaving soon Daylight fading Come and waste another year All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn When we see the early signs that daylight's fading We leave just before it's gone She said 'everybody loves you,' she says, 'everybody cares' But all the things I keep inside myself they vanish in the air If you tell me that you'll wait for me I'll say I won't be here I want to say good-bye to you Good-bye to all my friends Good-bye to everyone I know Daylight fading Come and waste another year All the the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn When we see the early signs that daylight's fading We leave just before it's gone I'm Not Sleeping She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping She comes to me when I'm alone She comes to me, she holds my head when I'm crying She comes to me, she shuts my eyes She brings me home But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore She tells me when you look at me, she tells me when you're lying She tells me when you talk about me, she lays me on the floor She tells me when you're whispering, she lies beside me naked She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore 1-2-3-4-5-6-7a.m. All alone again But I've been through all this shit before Spend my nights in self defense Cry about my innocence But I ain't all that innocent anymore, more, more I see her on the TV, I see her in the movies I see her in these animals that dance inside my head I'll follow you down baby, down into this valley I'll follow you down baby, but I won't come up again But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping anymore I said rain rain go away come again some other day, cause I got all this shit to say but I've gone back to find my way. My sister's mother's favorite son lost among the chosen one, but I've got news for everyone cause I'm going out that door |
