I met up with an acrobat. In Brooklyn or some place like that. With life and taxis flying past. We tore that dance hall down. . Pocket change and subway cars.
Sleep, sleep. Even when I'm walking in my sleep. . Ghosts on the corner. I used to think that's all we'd ever be. Come home to California. Hey, wild heart, I'd give up everything.
Rainy girl. I can't wait to meet you. And I can't wait to hear your name. And sing it to the skies above. . Rainy girl. Wash away my memory. Swimming through infinity, for you will be.
Straighter than the flat line freeway. That's the way your hair falls down. We could watch the trains from the tightrope. Chase the dark. . Out here on a desert fault line.
As the summer came and left with the rain. Pushing shadows down the road. In this old beach town when the sun goes down. All the gray turns into gold.
Up around ten with a headache kicking. Guess I fell asleep with a cigarette. My girl's back home with the morning sick. Got a baby on the way, not here yet.
Parked outside the house we used to live. And there's a light left on inside. Think of all the days we spent. Orchestrating accidents. Lights that used to blind us.
Pouring rain in Tuscon, Arizona. Checked into the Congress hotel. Met the band in a bar next to the lobby. Looking for another story I could tell. . When I left town you were heading for the altar.
I saw this old friend at the Eveleigh bar. Life hadn't treated him so well. A heart so gold, and words so blue. In a body home from hell. . He said, "If I could tell you one thing, I would tell you this:.
The sun ran out on a cold October. Somewhere under the canyon moon. Camera jammed in a slow exposure. California in her rear view. . She couldn't handle another season.
I lock myself in a hotel room. Been waiting all night for the walls to move. I've loved some girls that I barely knew. I've made some friends, and I've lost some too.
I took the train home, facing backwards. Another hopeless chase. Echo Park, Indian summer. I wrote a new song about your new life. Like steps I retrace.
I saw pictures from the space shuttle. Of America tonight. I could almost see my house. I could almost see the rest of my life. And my mother's in the hospital.
In my hotel where the band is staying. I'm off desert but what I'd give to not get on that plane. Woke to the sound of birds calling and I wanna water the flowers in the garden.
Walking to my girlfriend's in Telegraph with a hand full of roses. Stopped through a corner store, on the TV a Philadelphia cop shot by ISIS. 30,000 people murdered in the USA in 2015.
I was walking down a dirt road. and the night was coming on fast. I had gone to for some corn meal for our supper. By the time I got to miss Johnson's house.
Redneck that he was. Burning trash in his yard one day. And on to the pile, he threw. An aerosol can of spray. And that's how he died in the fire that day.
U libar svojih dugova. Upiši mene. Jer odavno te kupujem. S onim što si htjela čut. . Od straha da ne potone. Tvoja ljubav za mene. Kao pčela u žlici čaja dok drži dah.
The room got so quiet. When love came and went. I'm lost in translation. You lost innocence. . So where are you. so where are you now. it's true. I'm letting you down.
[Verse 1]. We were on up stage, I heard a classic drum fill. Blasting a hundred decibels over the hill. It was getting pretty vile, I asked who it was.
