(Lyrics, Music: Triano, Peterson, Leitch). All alone at sea again, no one here but me. Sail is burning in the night, no land as far as I can see. Hands are shaking by my side, no one at the wheel.
Hey friend you always had a smile for me. Hey friend you always had a smile for me. Hey friend you went and OD'ed and left me. After a life of abuse I could hardly blame you.
I was trying to kick speed, so I followed my friend Steve. We went to the chatuea, we cut up so many vegetables. We proceeded to get high, and to my surprise.
Lookin' through the rain to see where the love has gone. But it will shower us again. I wish there was somethin' I could have done. To keep the love I had for you.
Yeah baby you and me, we're the perfect match. Maybe we could (Ab)use our sexuality, to justify being attached. Yeah we're perfect for each other, cause someone needs to care for me.
I wanna be famous and have my face on TV. I want all my old friends to hate me. I don't wanna be able to walk down the street. In this town I won't be around.
Lately I've been working in a factory in an industry yeah. Lately I've been working in a factory wage slave that's me yeah. Lately I've been working in a factory in an industry yeah.
Forty Eight Twenty Three Twenty Second Street. . Now, as for my aunt. Who told on me. . She was always wearing her turbans. . Sailing back to Greece on the Normandy.
I am certain of the way now. Like the sun I'm so far above men. And I need no one, I need nothing. I can't wait, I've been dead for so long. Help me from the fire, from the liar.
How lonely you are waiting at the sunday park. I'll elude you, I will lose you. Existing were no soul apart. . You stand on a platform. Your effigy dissolves in my hands.
Sensing that this is a dark day. I remember when the sun came again. No need to fight the world myself. I have victory built into history. . Cause I have seen better days.
Fake light from the sun. it's driving me mad. it's poisoned our good name. . somebody said. the sky's turning red. no one can be trusted. . I want you to know that the sky's full of wires.
I found a picture of you in black and white. Looking like Bob Dylan's disciple. The only thing left is a spark in your eye. In the ashes of rock and roll.
It's getting dark out. I am feeling alone. Just minutes right you've gone. You have left me unsettled. You have stolen my calm. All that I need is balm..
Okay you win, you caught me day dreamin' again. About our sudden evacuation. Okay I give in, I can't help but wonderin'. But it seems I can't get enough information.
Trying to find a peace in all the wrong places. Wanting to find release from the empty spaces. So I pack my bags and I set out. Following traces of a better day.
Filligree and shadow. Carve across my mind blank. Filling up the canvas. Where my sailing ship sank. . Lemon tears and sorrow. Curve among my hearts scar.
Weve hung up our harps. But the music dont stop. Because you sang a song, deep in our hearts. We sing to the stars. But they dont sing back to us. No they dont sing back to us.
Some folks are born made to wave the flag. Ooh, they're red, white and blue, yeah. And when the band plays, "Hail To The Chief". Ooh, they point the cannon at you.
I think about the places I have been. And what I've seen. And all the lessons I've learned in between. . Twenty some odd years and nothings changed. And I'm still the same.
