i really don't have that much to say. so i'll paint this smile back on my face. and let you wonder why i'm so happy all the time. . i need to find myself some air.
The city slips away too soon. Tonight she's wide awake. Making small talk with Mr. Moon. Singing louder than the rain. On nights like these she can be herself.
What's wrong with me, I hear her say. Forget everything, and what it means to me. I'm not alive, that's what she means. I hate to disappoint her, I only need some room to breathe.
What if I tried, would you then. consider my time as well spent. Would you put me on trial, consider who's fit. to brand me insane, so I won't ever have to deal with it.
Took a drive up the coast for the first time. Where the cities are few and far between. Found redemption, the street signs bearing my name. And direction, the last thing on my mind.
You went to my head. All the things that you said. Straight to my head. Like a cannonball. I fled. The more that I heard. The more that I knew I'd been had.
You made a promise to me long ago. Saying that you would never leave. But this I know. You were the one. Not me who chose to blow. When I loved you so.
I've got a million dollars worth. Of insurance. Yeah, a million dollars worth. If it all burns down. I can get it all back. All back. Plus a brand new cadillac.
You make a lot of money. She makes a lot of time. Counts it out and hands it over to you. Never asking nothing in return. ''cause she trusts you. Believes in you too.
Well I broke my back. In a chicken shack. I made a stack. Way past the black. I got the knack. For attracting slack. You jumped my tracks. And stole a snack.
Alright. Tell me what I said. You better watch out. Your words are getting in your way. It's not right. Every little thing you say. C'mon baby. Get a grip.
I'm gonna move. Way out on the outskirts of town. Everybody dogged me. Yeah they dogged me right on down. They hit me once. They hit me twice. They hit me three times people.
Let me make no bones about it. You ain't jumpin' mine for free. You play dirty fine. With your dirty little mind. But I got bigger plans for me. I got bigger plans for me.
(I). Yeah I come running. (Down). Down the mountain of love. (I). You know I'd been up there. (So long). But I couldn't get enough. I've been look, looking.
I get you ready for the breakdown. I'm the feeling inside you that just wants to explode.. I never sugarcoat a shakedown.. So empty all your pockets of the things that you think you know..
No communication with you. Words don't believe the things they mean. Mean what you say, say who you are. . No communication with you. This silence is thick but listen close.
She's got a ticket. But you need more than a ticket to get you there. You need a string of good intentions. And an easy burn. . Maybe some good luck. With the cash tucked in the back of your pocket.
As I step out into space.. I wonder what you would say.. If you knew that I was here.. Perfecting my mistakes.. I poured that gasoline.. Last drop to the machine..
I am a tiny machinist. I have the smallest plans. We have a mind television. The gift of idle hands. . I've been re-educated. To bleed technology. Even more complicated.
