Trying not to hope too hard for what I want. Trying not to go too far with all the dreaming. . Oh, the disappointment, so hard to handle. I'm still in the dark, lighting candles.
Red dirt road in Tennessee. Red dirt mud, slow wet feet. Red dirt clay stuck in my heart. Clogging up the way. The tears come through. I'm blue, just blue.
I went to the market. though it was threatening rain. I was late to the station. so I missed that train. And the streets filled with umbrellas. and we all looked the same.
Always been like a hummingbird. And I can't keep still. Listen up, lover, listen up, I never will. . Wings move faster than the human eye. And if you could see my heart.
You never change your mind once it's made up. Unless it's to crawl back on your knees. . Is that the way you want it?. You get back to the wall. And put your hands up.
No money, no friends. You just passed the end. How do you get high?. You don't drink, don't smoke. You'll live long, you hope. How do you get high?. .
Always been like a hummingbird. and I can't sit still. Listen up, lover listen up, I never will. . Wings move faster than the human eye. And if you could see my heart.
Take the sky for example, a canvas of a billion suns. But our local hero shines them out by day. Save for the winking of a Venus or Mars. . Even the stars sometimes fade to gray.
Maybe if you came about. Maybe if you turned this ship around. If you waited this one out. And just put your head down. . Oh, in your dreams you find out.
Gray, quiet and tired and mean. Picking at a worried seam. Itry to make you mad at me over the phone. Red eyes and fire and signs. I'm taken by a nursery rhyme.
You were a gypsy, I was one too. I only was one so I could meet someone like you. And in the morning how blue the sky. I don't know why I ever said goodbye (x2).
16 balloons against the blue. they're red, they're red like a dream come true. Sure it was enough to give them to you. to watch you let them go, let them go.
Head on my pillow. Last time I checked, last thing I remember was. your head on my pillow. What happened, what happened,. what happened baby?. I like it in the dark, the morning sun's so.
You can't get up. Cause you've been down and you are reeling. You catch you breath. by counting cracks upon the ceiling. It makes it somewhat less appealing.
Citywide rodeo, you set on the stage. Where all the clowns will go when they feel their age. . I know that you think you're not good for anything. The world makes you feel so small.
Yesterday when you were young. Everything you needed done was done for you. Now you do it on your own. But you find you're all alone, what can you do?.
Rip smart as a heart attack. I got a brand new stare. I can carry the whole in stack. 'Cause I've got a brand new pair of wings. I used to fly straight in the upright brigade.
Be my thrill. My little white pill. My unpaid bill. The one who will. Be my love. My little grey dove. My push and my shove. My heaven above. And we tumble down like Jack and Jill.
Dance with me darling, the night is falling. You never answer although all my life I'm calling. . Be my honeypie, never say goodbye. If you don't love me I will die.
Left behind everything I knew. All the colors but bone-white and sky-blue. Hit the continent running. Engines were humming just to break through. . Antarctica, my only living relative.
