Unless you could see inside my head. You couldn't possible understand. I'm happier when things are falling apart. At the seams and you never know just by looking at me.
Let me give you some insight into my insides. I haven't been this confused in such a long time. you can't believe I've spent just losing my mind. I can't believe that 10 years have really gone by.
When Abilene was young and gay. And thunder storms filled up the days. The cattle roam outside the town. . Sleeping in the midday sun. Sleeping in the midday sun.
( written by Nick Drake ). . Strange face, with your eyes. So pale and sincere. Underneath you know well. You have nothing to fear. For the dreams that come to you when so young.
It's breathin' time. In Christmas Valley. Herons fly by night. And crash into the pines. . And when we're gone. From Christmas Valley. No one will remember you.
Gotta trust my name. No fork in my tongue. Gotta trust my name. . Never saw it blow. Never saw it blow. The clouds rained money. Never saw it blow. The clouds rained money.
I come from nowhere. I was nowhere bound. never once believed. this was my restin' ground. but somewhere between. here and that rest. I heard ya callin' my name.
Got an earthquake shack near Elbe.. Got a garden of dyin' cars.. Covered up deep in the mud of the powerline road.. . And at night I can hear the lockjaw,.
( written by Alex Chilton ). . Driving in my big black car. Nothing can go wrong. I'm going and I don't know how far. So, so long. . Maybe I'll sleep in a Holiday Inn.
Out past the trees there is nothing to burn. Just an empty gas station, left to me in a will. Just a plate of bad habits and plenty of salt for the wounds.
tongue tied, said my prayers. 20 years or more. seems like yesterday. hung your secrets from. the judas tree. watched 'em blow down. to the valley floor.
Well the fires are tended. And my blood it just boils. (Hey there pass your hat). And the fruits of hard labor. Have been drowned in snake oil. (Hey there pass your hat).
I can sleep it off,. Sleep it back to sleep,. I can be most anything I want.. A long way from the shade,. The north side of the moon.. Down here only rich men lose their shirts..
It soon appears. Long rented shores. Too big to name. And second to none. . Save horses' hair. In pockets deep. Remember skies. Second to none. . Black rain.
The season has come. When nothing gets done. Save copycat killin'. Away from windows. asleep on the floor. The wheel of misfortune spins in the yard. And by the way.
I'll break the jackpot open. In a wondertown, wondertown. I'll break the jackpot open. In a wondertown, wondertown. With my hands of ivory. And my nerves of steel.
T'was a cold wintry night. Not a star was in sight. And he north wind was howling down the line. Went a brave engineer. With a sweetheart so dear. With an order to pull Old # 9..
