I wanna hear some music Now that they're driving us all underground Not the radio music Or their sattelite singing this In this town In this town I wanna hear some music And while the rockstars all flicker and fade Power radio music on the Ghost overground I'm, I'm coming Even if your voice comes back again Maybe there'll be no-one listening And even if I find the strength to stand It doesn't mean I won't go missing And the world will come crashing I wanna hear some music I have been waiting down here for so long Trying to write this big music With your breath in my face But now, But now you're gone Even if your voice comes back again Maybe there'll be no-one listening And even if I find the strength to stand It doesn't mean I won't go missing And the world will come crashing And the whole world comes Down down down The words and all the water on this broken town The freeway's just like veins without a heart The world just comes crashing And the whole world comes crashing And the whole world comes Even if your voice comes back again Maybe there'll be no-one listening And even if I find the strength to stand It doesn't mean I won't go on Even if your voice comes back again Maybe there'll be no-one listening And even if you find the strength to stand It doesn't mean you won't go missing And the world will come crashing And the words will come crashing And the music comes crashing Down on me Down on me And the words will come crashing The words will come crashing Down on me So down on me Down on you |

You gotta swim Swim for your life Swim for the music That saves you when you're not so sure you'll survive You gotta swim And swim when it hurts The whole world is watching You haven't come this far to fall off the earth The currents will pull you Away from your love Just keep your head above [Chorus] I found a tidal wave Begging to tear down the dawn Memories like bullets They fire at me from a gun Crack in the armor, yeah I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun Choking on salt water I'm not giving in I swim [Chorus End] You gotta swim Through nights that won't end Swim for your families Your lovers, your sisters And brothers and friends Yeah, you gotta swim Through wars without cause Swim for the lost politicians Who don't see their greed as a flaw The currents will pull us Away from our love Just keep your head above [Chorus, leave off last line then repeat last two lines] You gotta swim Swim in the dark There's no shame in driftin' Feel the tide shiftin' And wait for the spark Yeah, you gotta swim Don't let yourself sink Just find the horizon I promise you it's not as far as you think And the currents will drag us Away from our love Just keep your head above Just keep your head above Swim [to fade] Just keep your head above Swim, Swim Just keep your head above Swim |

And there is no world wrapping me up
I've got a view from the valley Living well but we're dying young To bankrupt a blue sky I saw the post office from the book On my way to the west side Going broke but I'm feeling good I brought my girl to keep me with it She's a suicide blonde Dyed by her own hand, ooh. Suicide blonde. She's part of the big plan, She's part of the big plan Got a job at the DMV And a call from my father Got my news from the CNN Like sheep to the slaughter Watched the planes landing from the roof Of my treehouse in Burbank I had that dream I was taking off I brought my girl to keep me with it She's a suicide blonde. Dyed by her own hand, ooh. Suicide blonde. Part of the big plan, She's part of the big plan. Ooh, la la la la... Yeah yeah yeah... I got a girl, got a girl, got a girl To keep me with it Got a girl, got a girl, got a girl To keep me with it Got a girl, got a girl, got a girl Gotta keep me with it She's a suicide blonde Dyed by her own hand, ooh. Suicide blonde. She's part of the big plan, She's part of the big plan, yeah. Ooh, ooh She's part of the big plan Ooh, ooh She's part of the big plan... |

It started feeling like October
I got stranded on the road But you know where to find me Anytime you want me Annie Annie use your telescope So they made my life into a movie As if I could forget those years But I know where the time's gone Just not where my mind's been wandering Annie use your telescope When it's late don't stop looking When my eyes turn to glass When it's late don't stop Annie I will make it Home Is there anybody out there? Hello? I'm only getting farther from Earth It started feeling like October Annie Use Your Telescope When it's late don't stop looking When my eyes turn to glass When it's late don't stop Annie I will make it back Annie I will make it |

She walks to the mailbox
Each morning at 9 Every day she begins she's always one day behind At least when it comes to the mail She sits on the balcony paying the bills Her letters just ashing her cigarettes onto the sill Every breath a little more pale The hill still left to climb is just so High And I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on fire It's just so high And I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on He sits in his basement From midnight till four Painting pictures that nobody sees From his days in the war Canvases bathed in bright red He heats up the shower He paces the hall He'll scrub for an hour or more But he won't get it all Paint in his fingernail beds The hill still left to climb is just so High And I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on fire It's just so high And I'm so tired Come on look up at The bloodshot sky The clouds are all on Fire We wait in valleys while the clouds come in We see no shadows 'Cuz a shadow's all there is And we climb And we climb But it's just so High And I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on fire It's just so high And I'm so tired Come on look up at The bloodshot sky The clouds are all on Fire |

I'll give you this confession, I am taking you with me. Where we can contemplate our chemistry. And your eyes were lined with questions, with the blood rushing the way. To take this feeling with us to our graves, to our graves. Chorus: I got the feeling were still misdirected, I get the feeling we have lost control. Tune in, I'll turn you to the new religion. We're dropping out into the so unknown. The so unknown. And we won't wake up on Sundays, so I'm building us a church. Where we can sleep in with the gods at work. And our friends will write us letters, they'll never understand why we don't call. We're hiding out until the empire falls, let it fall. {Chorus} If we have lost control, we're drifting slow. Into the so unknown. If we have lost control, we're drifting slow. And so we drop out. And I'll give you this confession, I am taking you with me. {Chorus} I got the feeling we got disconnected. I got the feeling we have lost control. Tune in, I'll turn you to the new religion. We're dropping out into the so unknown. The so unknown. |

These hammers and strings Been following me around From a box filled garage To the dark punk rock clubs of one thousand American towns And my friend calls me up She says how have you been I say, dear, I've been well Yea the money's comin But I miss you like hell I still hear you in this old piano, yeah She says Andy, I know We don't talk as much But I still hear your ghost in these old punk rock clubs C'mon write me a song Give me something to trust Just promise you won't let it be just the keys that you touch... Give me something to believe in A breath from the breathing So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes Cause lately I'm not dreaming So whats' the point in sleeping? It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide So I'll write you a lullaby A lullaby These hammers and strings Been following me around Behind passenger vans Through the snow dirt and the sand Of one thousand American towns And my friend calls me up With her heart heavy still She says Andy the doctors prescribed me the pills But I know I'm not crazy, I just lost my will So why am I, why am I Taking them still...? I need something to believe in A breath from the breathing So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes Cause lately I'm not dreaming So what's the point in sleeping? To the sleepless this is my reply I will write you a lullaby A lullaby Give me something to believe in So write it down I don't think that I'll close my eyes Cause lately I'm not dreaming So what's the point in sleeping It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide To the sleepless this is my reply I will write you a lullaby A lullaby A lullaby A lullaby |

There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning But I think I'm letting go To find my body is still burning And you hold me down And you got me living in the past Come on and pick me up Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast And I'm alive And I don't need a witness To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I just need light I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution And the bars are finally closed So I try living in the moment 'Til the moment it just froze And I felt sick and so alone I can hear the sound Of your voice still ringing in my ear I'm going underground But you'll find me anywhere I feel That I'm alive And I don't need a witness To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I just need light I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution You hold me down You hold me down I'm alive And I don't need a witness To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I'm alive And I don't need a witness To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I just need light I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution I need light, I need light |

I am looking for a sign My spirit's faded She holds on like a vine Patterns in traffic They sound just like my heart Race in the dark In time to catch you. No one should let you Go wandering off into the night You're not an orphan. I keep waiting for my breath To come back never So take what I have left Patterns in traffic That pulls just like my heart Race in the dark In time to catch you No one should let you Go wandering off into the night You're not an orphan. Right there to catch you I won't forget you. Now you're wandering to the night But you're no orphan You're not an orphan I never thought the day would come (you're not an orphan) They tell me that you've finally run (you're not an orphan) I guess you always said you would someday (you're not an orphan) I never thought the day would come (you're not an orphan) They tell me that you've finally run (you're not an orphan) I guess you always said you would someday (you're not an orphan) |

I'm caught Somewhere in between Alive And living a dream No peace Just clicking machines In the quiet of compazine The walls caved in on me And she sings My bird dressed in white And she stings My arm in the night I lay still Still I'm ready to fight Have my lungs But you can't take my sight And the walls caved in tonight Out here I watch the sun circle the earth The marrows collide in rebirth In god's glory praise The spirit calls out from the caves The walls fell and there I lay Saved The walls are caving in As far as I can see The walls are caving in The doors got locked for sure There's no one here but me Beat my body like a rag doll Stuck your needles in my hip Said we're not going to lie Son you just might die Get you on that morphine drip Drip The walls are caving in As far as I can see The walls are caving in The doors got locked for sure There's no one here but me I fought a war to walk a gangplank Into a life I left behind A window's leading to the past Think it's time I broke some glass Get this history off my mind And what if we were buried forever Like the past never happened And time did not exist for us at all I think we'd still be traveling together Through all kinds of weather Everything's a piece of everyone As far as I can see The walls are caving in As far as I can see The walls are caving in The doors got locked for sure There's no one here but me The walls are caving in As far as I can see The walls are caving in The doors got locked for sure There's no one here but me There's no one here but me |

I called Jesus but he didn't check his phone today, Oh oh, there's my summer girl I've been wanting her I hear she's got a boyfriend Thought I could leave her for a season but it just got cold Yeah, it's a lonely hour in my cellphone tower, Broken down transmission. But I'm gonna take you to my boxcar on the beach And I'm gonna hang the sun above your bed And soak your hair in bleach You'll be missed Miss California You'll be kissed by only me When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery but you're no mystery to me, Miss California I called Jesus but he heard I hurt his little girl, yeah, with my reckless stare, I've been so unfair Misplacing my affections She had a reason not to take me back into her care Oh, I'm just a stray dog now, I can't beg or bow Just give me some direction. And I'm gonna take you to the mansion where I hide and I'm gonna paint a diamond on your hand And you will be my bride You'll be missed Miss California You'll be kissed by only me When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery But you're no mystery to me, Miss California Miss California I'll be around, I'll be around. You'll be missed Miss California. You'll be kissed by only me. When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery But not to me. You'll be missed Miss California We'll be married in the rain When they can't find you I'm sure I'll be the one they blame But they can't prove anything Miss California Miss California I'll be around |
