You and I have the same dream. Caught in the hills where the tunnel screams. Watching the sky come apart at the seams. And the lights of the landing machines.
Why everybody else is still counting out the days, I don't know. Me, I'm still racing with the hours and I know I can't go. It's never been easy 'cause I've always been late.
I used to be so, so down. I thought I had been changed. So when I found you were running around. I too tried to play that game. I know the way now. This time it won't take long.
Mechanical wires and hidden desires. Gets you so tired, realise you've been fired. Your ambition, your position is lost. Your the hostage working for the new age.
I've got a train drivin' through my head. Got a fever burnin' in my bed. If my telephone's ringin', somebody's dead on the line. I'm gettin' mad I'm gettin' pissed.
How many times have I said it before. You can't keep coming back once you walk out that door. I don't know why I take it time and again. You're like a building on fire.
I've crossed the line. I've bent the rules. Home of the brave. Red, white, and blue. I've fought the fire. Running through my head. Stood by and watched.
Shadows fell into our eyes. Strangers we would seldom call. You and I like every teen. Were up against the wall. We couldn't see the end in time. Dying to get out.
Falling for you was always falling up. Leather books and surplus government chairs. I rose like smoke, or the steam from your cup. A wave of heat where the lighter flares.
Rollercoasters and ferris wheels. You like how it feels. Round and round till you lose yourself in the air. . All those complicated deals. Your desperate appeals.
Here we go again, around and round. Here we go again, around and round. We're babies passing for adults. Who've loaded up their catapults. And can't believe the end results.
Stuck in the past. Like drawing rings around Saturn. The shadow is cast. But now it follows a pattern. . I don't know what that arrangement was. I could never tell.
Boy, when you go, you go. Three thousand miles just so I'll know. You never loved me. You never loved me. . Then when you're gone, you're gone. I know the tumbleweed lexicon:.
Lookin' into the face of the goose snow cone. Should be shaking it loose but you do it alone. Every look is a truce and it's written in stone. . Gotta keep it together when your friends come by.
Saw you at the fall. Picture on a closed-circuit. Boy you lost it all. Thinking you could rework it. Stole a credit card and ran away. Back in Louisville they called the play and now.
It's always locusts, or floods, or drought. And then it's parties or prayer. He picks a girl he can live without. And puts her down over there. . Philly thinks, and when he thinks he can't feel anymore.
Seattle finally couldn't hold her. It made no difference what you told her. You say you're sorry but now what is that?. . You oughta knock it off. You had your chances but now they're gone.
What a waste of a smoke machine. Took the taste of the dopamine. And left me high and dry. . Call the cops, call the cavalry. Spin the tops that'll dazzle me.
Daydream the whole night through. Believe me, the sun will get you too. The distance to the next star. Is less than the one between our hearts. I'm trying to build a bridge.
I'm hearing footsteps sound. But I'm all alone. The dinner table's set. But no nobody's home. . But still. We jump. Off the side. Into the deep, the dark unknown.
