In this land of chance do we know right from wrong. Even at a glance we know the road is long. We don't owe a single thing to anyone. Most of us do not believe in come what may.
Well my friends,we go out,and we drink,and we're loud,and we'll tare up the town,to the point where you can't build it back, the point where i can't take things back..
I stare at the ceiling in my bed. I think about you in my head- and you know what I want. Forget about the things I said. My mind was racing and now it's dead- and you know what I want... and you are what I want..
In a foraged night- Sitting in my doom of my trialed offense. Nothing to do. My hands are freezing off. I'm really sore from people breaking the law. I make people scared- I know but what could I say. Right now, it's awesome and i'm fucked without pay. I knew it from the start when it was back in the day, it's when people get annoying and get in the way. In an alley- The only road. Drained through my misery and cleared thoughts. Framed in a person who I know i'm not..
I'm on my way, got no time to waste. Places to go, people to chase. Gonna grab my comb 'n my toothpaste. Gotta get away from here. Twenty-one years from the day I was born.
Walking up the street with you- even when it was fresh and new. In the cold, not so bold. Fearing everything that i've known. Nasty pains in the rains. Everyone, follow me. This way, Sweet Revenge..
Through the woodland, through the valley. Comes a horseman wild and free. Tilting at the windmills passing. Who can the brave young horseman be. He is wild but he is mellow.
I used to be someone behind these walls. I hide in shame and now I know what I must do to find you... (chorus) I have always seen my fearless stance- but i'll always be a secret fan of you..
I look out my window to feel the open air- breathing dare when everything just falls apart. Open eyes, burning lies, hearing sounds you've never heard- singing birds, harmless words; sitting on the roof and staring at the skies, closing eyes. Planning out the Peach Tree's mind, sitting hind, what I find- what I find, Jigsaw puzzles everywhere, everywhere. Scattered all around the floor, through the core, in the sore; no one seems to be the same, float away, float away. Staring at the ceiling in my bed, in my bed and all the memories float around my head, float away from me..
Phil Ochs. Sit by my side, come as close as the air. Share in a memory of gray. Wander in my words, dream about the pictures. That I play of changes. Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall.
Out the door, through the core. Fear in every Lightning break, tears in every big mistake. Flooding lake, slipping wake. Everybody still sits awake. Sitting tight, fear of height. I still have to go make it right. Feel the air, breathing dare. Jump off the cliff when the old men stare. Making fights, glaring lights. Everybody has one good sight. Evening gloves, no one loves. I'm still staring in fright above..
I'd like to be in Biscuit City. With my banjo in my hand. I don't need no long vacation. In some foreign land. Cause the sound of my own breathing. Has been turning to a sigh.
Lifeless Drive, you're the one. The only one that makes me run. I'm alive but won't survive. You give me vibes in Lifeless Drive. Run, i'll run far away with you..
In my life. In my time and in each line I've ever sung. And in my life. Was it my imagination or are you still the one. Who lingers on. I'd do anything for you.
I saw you walking up the street, i'm slowly senseless. Blonde hair, blue eyes, soft lips, a sound that went around the room. I'd have to say you came in my life to just let me go. Next time you let me go, at least you could just let me know..
All I'm after is to be on your winning side. All I need is to be turning back the tide. 'Cause I care too much for the life that I lead. What you're thinking could be anybody's guess.
I'm feeling everything between highrise and fall. You were everything before you felt so small and I know- and I know. I'm hearing everyone complaining in my ear. I'm hiding in my room draining out from fear- and I know- and I know.
On the line. Four feet colder every night and we see. Poorly bolder when it's right. Tonight, tonight. Tonight, tonight.. (chorus) I am coming home tonight. Tonight, I am coming home- tonight. Tonight- I am coming home to you tonight- tonight, tonight..
Up to it- up to it- on the ground. People around me have to frown. No excuses, get away. Empty mouth cuz what's there to say? Pull me out- on the floor. When the time comes, i'm out the front door. Up the street- bloody feet. Nasty feeling lies in the heat. Sun draws down. Empty sound. No one knows me- now i'm unfound. Empty road- Lifeless Drive. I'm unknown but i'm still alive..
In the morning, I feel. A time within today with you. In the known. In the day, I heal. A time, a memory with you in the known.. I will fly away- and I will still be here. I will fly away and you know how I will feel. Uplift and fly..
