Anything's hard to change
But hey I got you
down on your knees again
You watch the sky
It's a pale parade of
passing clouds That cover
The bed upon which
we laid In the dark And
the memories that I made
Of a laughing girl
But you're just my toy
And I can't stop playing
with you baby
If you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's one thing you
need to know And that's that
you can't count on me
Coming along real good
But still can't do
most of the things I should
I watch the sky
coming down to bury me and
I can't stop this
crawling out of my skin
I know that
you see yourself flying in
Out of the sky
Coming down
To carry me
But I won't come out
So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's one
thing you need to know
And that's that
you can't count on me
No you can't count on me

I watched
all of the same parades
As they passed on
the days you wish you'd stayed
But i All this pain
gets me high
And I get off and you know why
So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's one
thing you need to know And
that's that
you can't count on me
So if you think you need to go
If you wanted to be free
There's one thing you
need to know And that's that
you can't count on me
Aw you can't count on me
No you can't count on me

Anything's hard to change but hey I got you down on your knees again,
You watch the sky, it's a pale parade of passing clouds that cover,
The bed upon which we laid, in the dark and the memories that I made,
Of a laughing girl but you're just my toy,
And I can't stop playing with you, baby.

If you think you need to go,
If you wanted to be free,
There's one thing you need to know,
And that's that you can't count on me.

Coming along real good,
But I still can't do most of the things I should,
I watch the sky, coming down to bury me and,
I can't stop this crawling out of my skin,
I know that you see yourself flying in, out of the sky,
Coming down to carry me but I won't come out.

So if you think you need to go,
If you wanted to be free,
There's one thing you need to know,
And that's that you can't count on me,
No you can't count on me.

I watched all of the same parades,
As they passed on the days that you wish you'd stayed,
But all this pain gets me high,
And I get off and you know why.

So if you think you need to go,
If you wanted to be free,
There's one thing you need to know,
And that's that you can't count on me.

So if you think you need to go,
If you wanted to be free,
There's just one thing you need to know,
And that's that you can't count on me,
Aw you can't count on me,
No you can't count on me.

It's 1:30 in the morning,
But that's alright by me,
Weren't you just waiting by the phone?
Well I should give a little warning,
But I need the things I need,
I'm not proud to need a hand,
But I just don't understand.

So why should you come when I call?
I never say nothing at all,
Why do I go, when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone,
You ought to get out on your own.

Ain't necessarily a bad thing,
To believe the things I say,
'Cause you can make yourself feel good,
You know it's really not a good thing,
To give everything to me,
I'm just waiting for the show,
'Cause I got nowhere to go.

So why should you come when I call?
I never say nothing at all,
Why do I go, when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone,
You ought to get out on your own.

'Cause nothing makes me feel so good,
Or gets me high so I sleep at night,
And lets me know that everything's alright,
I feel nice.

I'm so sorry in the morning,
You can believe what you believe,
I'm used to waking up alone,
And if you think about it,
Anyone you think about is better love than me,
But if you're not fallen quite asleep,
I might call tonight,
If that's alright.

Why should you come when I call?
I never say nothing at all,
Why do I go, when I go?
It's leaving me here all alone,
You ought to get out on your own.

Oh, why should you come when I call?
Oh, why do I go, when I go?
Oh, why should you,
Why should you, come when I call?
Why should you come,
Why should you come when I call?

It's 1:30 in the morning,

Weren't you just waiting by the phone?

Well you know I don't like you but you want to be my friend,
Well there are bodies on the ceiling and they're fluttering their wings,
It's okay, I'm angry but you'll never understand,
When you dream of Michelangelo, they hang above your hands.

And I know that she is not my friend,
And I know 'cause there she goes walking on my skin again,
And I can't see why you wanna talk to me,
When your vision of America is crystalline and clean,
I want a white bread life, just something ignorant and plain,
But from the walls of Michelangelo, I'm dangling again,
And I know that she is is not my friend,
And I know 'cause there she goes walking on my skin again and again.

Saturn on a line,
A sun afire on strings and wires,
To spin above my head and make it right,
But any time you like,
You can catch a sight of angel eyes,
All emptiness and infinite.

And I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed,
I see god upon the ceiling, I see angels overhead,
And he seems so close as he reaches out his hand,
But we are never quite as close, as we are led to understand.

And I know she is not my friend,
And I know 'cause there she goes walking, walking, walking,
And I know that she is is not my friend,
And I know 'cause there she goes walking on my skin again and again.
Oh my my, oh lord no, yes she's walking on my skin again and again.

I sold my piano, it couldn't come with me,
I locked up my bedroom and I walked out into the air,
When nothing I needed was left there behind me,
I walked out through the shadows of Washington Square.

I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley,
And I heard the songbirds of Ballyporeen,
But I loved like a fountain and it left me with nothing,
Just memories of walking through Washington Square.

Now I live in the shadows, where light is electric,
And time is a number, that rests on a wall,
And nobody knows me, my friends and my family,
Are as far from this city as Washington Square.

So cover this warm night in a blanket of starlight,
And I'll follow this freeway out into the air,
In case you should wander and wanted to find me,
I'm traveling homeward to Washington Square,
I'm traveling homeward to Washington Square,
Washington Square,
Washington Square.

"I gotta rush away," she said,
"I been to Boston before.
and anyways
this change I been feeling
doesn't make the rain fall"

No big differences these days
just the same old walkaways
and someday
i'm gonna stay
but not today

I've gotta rush away,
She said, I've been to Boston before,
And anyway, this change I've been feeling,
Doesn't make the rain fall,
No big differences these days,
Just the same old walkaways.

Someday, I'm gonna stay,
But not today.

Is everybody happy now?
Is everybody clear?
We could drive out to the dunes tonight,
'cause summer's almost here.
And I've been up all night,
I might sleep all day.
Get your dreams just right
Let them slip away,
I might sleep all day.
When the roads are clear,
We'll head on out of here,
If you're coming back,
I'll see you in the morning
I'm just staring at
the ceiling staring back at me,
Just waiting for the daylight to come crawling in on me...
And I've been up all night,
I might sleep all day.
Get your dreams just right
And let them slip away,
I might sleep all day.
Ohhh...It's too late to get high now.
[2X]
fix your hair just right
Put your jeans on tight,
Wear a dress, so I can get it off real easy.
'Cause I've been thinking I'd
like to see your eyes
open up real wide the minute that you see me.
If you don't come through,
I wouldn't wait for you.
I understand that everyone goes disappearing,
into the greatest grey
that covers over everyday,
and hovers in the distance and the distance and the distance...
I've been up all night,
I might sleep all day.
Get your dreams just right
let them slip away,
I might sleep all day.
Ohh...It's too late to get high now.
[2X]
Baby I'm not alone
only wanna get high

Baby I'm not alone
only wanna get high

I wanted so badly somebody other than me
Staring back at me. But you were gone, gone, gone.
I wanted to see you walking backwards
To get the sensation of you coming home.
I wanted to see you walking away from me
Without the sensation of you leaving me alone.:
Time and time again.
Time and time again.
Time and time again.
I can't please myself.
I wanted the ocean to cover over me.
I wanna sink slowly without getting wet.
Maybe someday I won't be so lonely
And I'll walk on water, heh, every chance I get.

So when are you coming home, sweet angel?
You leaving me alone? All alone?
Well if I'm drowning darling, you'll come down this way on your own.
I wish I was travelin' on a freeway
Beneath this graveyard western sky.
I'm gonna set fire to this city
And out in the desert, yeah, we're gonna ride.:
Time and time again.
Time and time again.
Time and time and time again.
I can't please myself.
Ohhhh yeah.
I can't please myself and I, I can't please nobody else and...
Time again.
Time and time again.
Time and time and time and time again.
I can't please myself.
No no no no...

Colored rubbers and a bedroom set,
I wouldn't know it, if it hit me,
You take a little step and then it feels like love,
I think I better get a little of it in me,
Give me a kiss, I think it feels like love,
Give me a kiss I think it feels like sunshine,
C'mon baby, well light me up,
I wanna look into your eyes until I go blind and.

You think that you can do without me,
I can't do anything at all,
You think that you can do without me,
But I don't believe in Sundays,
And I don't believe in anything at all.

Your mother made you in a parking lot,
My mother made me out of flesh and wire,
Try to remember what you might forget,
I try to remember everything,
Try to remember so you don't disappear,
Try to remember so you don't fade away,
Your mother made you out of smoke and rain,
Your mother made you in a fire that's faded.

You think that you can do without me,
And I can't do anything at all,
You think that you can do without me,
But I don't believe in Sundays,
And I don't believe in anything at all.

I wanna touch you for the things I'm losing,
I wanna touch you for my self-respect,
Give me a reason or I might stop breathing,
Give me a reason why I'm soaking wet,
Gotta stop breathing 'cause the sky is falling,
I might go out and watch the moon explode,
Give me directions to the highway crossing,
I'll go lie down in the middle of the road and.

You think that you can do without me,
I can't do anything at all,
You think that you can do without me,
But I don't believe in Sundays,
And I don't believe in anything at all.

I don't believe in Sundays,
And I don't believe in,
I don't believe in anything, in anything,
And I don't believe in,
I don't believe in anything, in anything,
And I don't believe in,
I don't believe in anything, in anything,
And I don't believe in at all.

I wanted so badly somebody other than me

Time and time and time and time again.
I can't please myself.
No no no no...

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street,
Cross the water and home through the town,
Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet,
Pretty soon now I won't come around,
I'm almost drowning in her sea,
She's nearly fallen to her knees.
Take the way home.

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street,
Where all the bodies hang on the air,
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet,
Either way now, I don't really care,
'Cause I'm gone from there,
I'm almost drowning in her sea,
She's nearly crawling on her knees,
She's down on her knees, down on her knees.

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street,
Where I'm just another rider burned to the ground,
Come tumbling down, I'm almost drowning in her sea,
She's nearly crawling on her knees,
It's almost everything I need,
I'm down on my knees,
I'm down on my knees,
I'm down on, down on my knees,
I'm down on my knees,
I'm down on my knees.

Staring out of his window as the world rushes by,
Arthur Robinson closes the glass and replies,
I dream of ballerinas and I don't know why,
But I've seen Cadillacs sailing.

And I was born on the shores of Chesapeake Bay,
But Maryland and Virginia have faded away,
And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today,
So I am endlessly waiting.

And the comet is coming between,
Me and the girl who could make it all clean,
Out there in the shadow of a modern machine,
Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream.

Carrie's down in her basement all toe shoes and twinned,
With the girl in the mirror who spins when she spins,
From where you think you'll end up to the state that you're in,
Your reflection approaches and then recedes again.

Yeah but the comet is coming between,
Me and the girl who could make it all clean,
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine,
Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream.

Well I have dreamed of a black car that shimmers and drives,
Down the length of the evening to the carnival side,
In a house where regret is a carousel ride,
We are spinning and spinning and spinning and now.

There's a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell,
There's a girl in a basement coming out of her shell,
And there are people who will say that they knew me so well,
I may not go to heaven, I hope you go to hell.

Yeah but the comet is coming between,
Me and the girl who could make it all clean,
Out there in the shadow of a modern machine,
Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream,
In his dream, St. Robinson in his dream,
Some people are never quite what they seem,
Oh come on baby, come on darlin', come on,
Lets just get into my car and drive,
Oh come on lets just get into my car and drive,
Just don't always do the same thing over and over.

I get so nervous I'm shaking
Gets so I got no pride at all
Gets so bad but I just keep coming back for more
I guess I just get off on that stuff
I'm thinking about taking some time
I'm thinking about leaving soon
I got some things I can't tell anyone
I got some things I just can't say
They're the kind of things no one knows about
I just need somebody to talk to me
I'm thinking about leaving tomorrow
I'm thinking about being on my own
I think I been wasting my time
I'm thinking about getting out
In all this time,
The bottom line's you don't know how much I feel
You say you see but I don't agree
You don't know how I feel
I'm just trying to get myself some gravity
You're just trying to get me to stay
Sometimes I sit here looking down upon Los Angeles
Sometimes I'm floating away
I'm thinking about breakin myself
I'm thinking about getting back home
I think I been waiting for way too long
I'm thinking about getting out

Staring out of his window as the world rushes by

Please Welcome, ah my favourite band The Counting Crows

Hey Were gonna start off with just David on

Step out the front door like a ghost
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white

And in between the moon and you
Angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right

I walk in the air between the rain,
Through myself and back again
Where? I don't know

Maria says she's dying
Through the door, I hear her crying
Why? I don't know

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house and
Takes all her clothes off,
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
She knows she's more than just a little you know - misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal, well I have trouble acting normal but

Round here we're carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice just like lambs
Round here - look - she's slipping though my hands

Oh, Sleeping children better run like the wind
Out of this lightning dream
I said Mama's little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning

She says,

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
I walk in the air between the rain through myself
and back again
Where? I dont know
Maria says shes dying through the door I hear her crying
Why? I dont know

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said shed like to meet a boy who looks like elvis
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like shes walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house
Takes her clothes off
Says shes close to understanding jesus
She knows shes more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when shes nervous

Round here were carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here shes slipping through my hands

Sleeping children better run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mamas little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning

She says its only in my head
She says shhh I know its only in my head
But the girl on car in the parking lot says
man you should try to take a shot
Cant you see my walls are crumbling?
Then she looks up at the building and says shes
thinking of jumping
She says shes tired of life she must be tired of something

Round here shes always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here were never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
I cant see nothing, nothing round here
Catch me if Im falling

Got a message in my head
that the papers had all gone
Richard Manuel is dead
And the daylight's coming on
I've been wandering through the dark
now I'm standing on the lawn

If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things I do
I'm an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
Well it was cold when i woke
and the day was halfway done
Nearly spring in San Francisco
but I cannot feel the sun
you were sleeping next to me
but I knew that you'd be gone

If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things I do
I'm an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
Take some time before you go
think of monday's coming down
and the people that you knew
The ones that aren't around
you've been fading day to day
I've been moving town to town

If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things i do
I'm an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
[2X]

Gonna get back to basics
Guess I'll start it up again
I'm falling' from the ceiling
You're falling from the sky now and then

Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between
But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Just you and me

So why'd you come home to this sleepless town
It's a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is ...
When you gonna come down

Your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays
And she watches as her babies drift violently away
'Til they see themselves in telescopes
Do you see yourself in me?
We're such crazy babies, little monkey
We're so fucked up, you and me

So why'd you come home to this faithless town
Where we make a lifetime commitment
To recovering the satellites
And all anybody really wants to know is ...
When are you gonna come down

She sees shooting stars and comet tails
She's got heaven in her eyes
She says I don't need to be an angel
But I'm nothing if I'm not this high
But we only stay in orbit
For a moment of time
And then you're everybody's satellite
I wish that you were mine

So why'd you come home to this angels town
It's a lifetime decision
Recovering the satellites
Everybody really knows for sure ...
That you're gonna come down
That you're gonna come down

Gonna get back to basics,
Guess I'll start it up again,
I'm fallin' from the ceiling,
You're falling from the sky now and then.

Maybe you were shot down in pieces,
Maybe I slipped in between,
But we were gonna be the wildest, the wildest,
The wildest people they ever hoped to see,
Just you and me.

So why'd you come home,
To this sleepless town,
It's a lifetime commitment,
Recovering the satellites,
All anybody really wants to know is,
When you gonna come down,
When you gonna come down.

Your mother recognizes, all your desperate displays,
And she watches as her babies, drift violently away,
'Til they see themselves in telescopes,
Well listen, do you see yourself in me?
We're such crazy babies, little monkey,
God we're so fucked up, you and me.

So why'd you come home,
To this faithless town,
Where we make a lifetime commitment,
To recovering the satellites,
And all anybody really wants to know is,
When are you gonna come down, down, down, down, down, down,
When are you gonna come down.

She, she, she sees shooting stars and comet tails,
She's got heaven in her eyes,
She says I don't, I don't, I don't need to be an angel,
But I'm nothing, I'm nothing if I'm not this high.

But we only stay in orbit,
For a moment of time,
And then you're everybody's satellite,
I wish that you were mine,
Wish that you were mine.

So why'd you come home,
To this angel's town,
Well it's a lifetime's decision,
Recovering the satellites,
All anybody really knows for sure is,
That you're gonna come down,
That you're gonna come down.

Gonna get back to basics,
Guess I'll start it up again,
I'm fallin' from the ceiling,
You're falling from the sky now and then.

Maybe you were shot down in pieces,
Maybe I slipped in between,
But we were gonna be the wildest, the wildest,
The wildest people they ever hoped to see,
Just you and me.

So why'd you come home,
To this sleepless town,
It's a lifetime commitment,
Recovering the satellites,
All anybody really wants to know is,
When you gonna come down,
When you gonna come down.

Your mother recognizes, all your desperate displays,
And she watches as her babies, drift violently away,

This circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one's around
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call
These train conversations are passing me by
And i don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But i just had no intention of living this way
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat
And i get no answers
And i don't get no change
It's raining in baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same
There's things i remember and things i forget
I miss you i guess that i should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
I need a phone call maybe i should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train if i listen real hard
And i wish it was a small world
Because i'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat

When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying
Down into a sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to feed me
'cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying , and I've been thinking
And I am the Rain King

Well I said
Mama, mama, , why am I so alone?
I can't go outside
Cause I'm scared I might not make it home
I'm alive, Im alive
But I'm sinking in

Don't try to bleed me
Cause I've been there before and I deserve a little more

Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
And ends and begins and ends
After all the dreaming I just wanna come back home again...

I Said well every little bit of sister says youre going sinking
Down well under ground
And every little thing she does to me
Is beautiful
And I said every little bit of fun and loneliness
Well, every little thing that endlessly confuses me
But I said when I think of heaven
Mmm said when I think of heaven
Mmmm When I think of heaven
I think of you
Do you think of heaven
And I said when I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black winged bird
Oh, come on

I think of dying
Lay me down in a field of flame an

Just down the street from your hotel, baby
I stay at home with my disease
And ain't this position familiar, darling
Well, all monkeys do what they see
Help me stay awake, i'm falling...
Down on virginia and la loma
Where i got friends who'll care for me
You got an attitude of everything i ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake, i'm falling...

Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby
Try to keep myself away from me (myself and) me
It's 4:30 a.m. on a tuesday
It doesn't get much worse than this
In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle
Of these lives which are completely meaningless
Help me stay awake, i'm falling...
(
)
I got bones beneath my skin, and mister...
There's a skeleton in every man's house
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody
There's a dead man trying to get out
Please help me stay awake, i'm falling...

Said how 'm I gonna keep myself,
How 'm I gonna keep myself away from me,
Keep myself away,
How 'm I gonna keep myself away from me,
Keep myself away,
How 'm I gonna keep myself away from me.

Take a message to your head,
Just stay beside her in the bed,
You were so stupid to believe in,
Things you couldn't see then,
Make them all you want.

If you haven't got the reasons,
Just make up any reason,
Then picket 'til it's torn.

Take it all away,
You took your coat today,
But they all go back,
In the morning.

Make a time to find your way,
I got a little further today,
Wash your eyes clear of anything,
Just make them empty circles,
Dress yourself in black, or grey,
I'm hungry like a wild waif or only child,
This lithium is heroin to me.

It makes all withdraw,
All the anger lost,
But it all keeps,
Coming back in the morning.

You keep yourself too clean,
You dig yourself a dream,
That we won't be coming home alone.

Not this time,
Not this time,
Not this time,
Not this time.

A picture of Amsterdam, bare trees under glass,
Framed in the gray and white afternoon light,
Of a winter long past,
When I was a riser, to Dublin I'd roam,
She was a bareback rider, some miles from home.

Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me.

She's a carnival diver, hung in the sky,
Cutting through time like a memory,
Strung on a wire,
The color of anything, fades in the air,
She is the film of a book of the story,
Of the smell of her hair.

Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me.

When everything's over and everything's clear,
When everyone's older and no one is here,
I try to remember a girl on a wire,
Tumbling and diving above Stephen's Green,
Like a kite on the air.

Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Oh come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me,
Come back to me.

Start tearing the old man down
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Start turning the grain into the ground
Roll a new leaf over
In the middle of the night there's an old man
Treading around in the gathered rain
Hey mister if you want to walk on water
Would you drop a line my way

Omaha
Somewhere in middle america
Get right to the heart of matters
It's the heart that matters more
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
And leave your money right at the door
Start threading the needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire
Roll the new life over
In the middle of the night there's an old man
Threading his toes through a bucket of rain
Hey mister if you want to walk on water
You're only going to walk all over me

Start running the banner down
Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
Start turning the girl into the ground
Roll a new life over
In the middle of the night there's a young man
Rolling around in the earth and rain

You're only going to walk all over me

Oh, said Omaha, Sunday morning,
I'm coming home today.

Come on children mind the gap.

Miracle people with marvellous hair,
And the knack to do anything better than anyone,
I got a home with electrical air,
And I live in a world smaller than anyone's,
I got a line on the new frontier,
I got a line on the new America,
All of the people are vanishing here,
I could be huge if I could just get.

From the outside of everything to the inside of you,
From the outside of everything to the inside of you.

Purest aluminium people are walking,
The streets of London so hysterical,
Nobody here gets a word that I say,
And the problems I'm told,
Are more than medical,
I got a friend from the new frontier,
And Galen, she says, this is not America,
You need a girl with electrical hair,
And the word that you wanted was aluminium.

From the outside of everything to the inside of you,
From the outside of everything to the inside.

I was in bed with the girl at the end of the world,
She said, I'm going home, you should come home too,
But I'm at the end of a new frontier,
Here at the edge of the flat earth ending,
I'm getting off to get lost in the air,
At the end of the world where the light is bending.

From the outside of everything to the inside of you,
From the outside of everything to the inside of you,
From the outside of everything to the inside of you,
From the outside of everything to the inside.
To the inside of you,
To the inside of you,
To the inside of you,
To the inside of you.

Well, I woke up in mid-afternoon, 'cause that's when it all hurts the most
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast

I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame
Though I'll never forget your face, sometimes I can't remember my name

Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't cry
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I know why, but
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?

There's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything

Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will linger inside of your head
And the ferris wheel junkies will spin them forever instead
When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in my bed

Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't go
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I don't know, but
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?

All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey, I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep

So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
Aw, but I'd sure like to find out
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen?

Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't turn
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I burn for you
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?

When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
And orders another
Well, I wonder what he did that for
That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door

We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
We stand up at the Palace like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars
We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
You can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
Aw, you can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far

Hey, Mrs. Potter, I won't touch, and
Hey, Mrs. Potter, it's not much, but
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me?

I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this
yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-
haired flamenco dancer
She dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
I want to be someone who believes
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you.
I don't think so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
I want to be a lion
Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all want to be big big stars, but we got different
reasons for that
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
and I want to be someone to believe
Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
"She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be
somebody for me."
I want to be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more
funky
When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as
funky as you can be
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
when I look at the television, I want to see me staring
right back at me
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why
and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just
about as happy as I can be
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars...

Sha la la la la la la, hmm, uh huh,
I was down at the New Amsterdam,
Staring at this yellow-haired girl,
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation,
With a black-haired flamenco dancer,
You know she dances while his father plays guitar,
So she's suddenly beautiful,
And we all want something beautiful,
Man I wish I was beautiful.

So come dance this silence down through the mornin'
Sha la la la la la la la yeah, uh huh yeah,
Curl up, Maria! Show me some of that Spanish dancin'
And pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones.
Believe in me, help me believe in anything,
'Cause I, I wanna be someone who believes, yeah.

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales,
And we stare at the beautiful women,
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo,
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely.

Well, I'm gonna paint my picture,
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray,
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful,
Yeah, well you know gray is my favorite color,
I felt so symbolic yesterday, if I knew Picasso,
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play.

Mr. Jones and me look into the future,
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women,
"She's looking at you. I don't think so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight, I bought myself a gray guitar,
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely,
I will never be lonely, son, I'm never gonna be lonely.

I wanna be a lion,
E-Everybody wants to pass as cats,
We all wanna be big big stars,
Yeah but we've got different reasons for that,
Believe in me 'cause I don't believe in anything,
And I, I wanna be someone to believe,
To believe, to believe, yeah.

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio,
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women,
"She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
I wanna be Bob Dylan,
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky,
When everybody loves you, oh, son,
That's just' bout as funky as you can be.

Mr. Jones and me staring at the video,
When I look at the television,
I wanna see me staring right back at me,
We all wanna be big stars,
But we don't know why and we don't know how,
But when everybody loves me,
I wanna be just' bout as happy as I could be,
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars.

All dressed up
No place to go
Hey monkey, when you gonna show your face around me?
I know all the wrongs and rights
And I just want a little light to fall on me

Hey monkey, where you been?
This lonely spiral I've been in
Hey monkey, when can we begin?
Hey monkey, where you been?

We'll I'm all messed up
That's nothing new
Hey monkey, when you open up your blue eyes,
I don't know if I'm wide awake or dreaming
But all I ever need is everything

Hey monkey, where you been?
This lonely spiral I've been in
Hey monkey, when can we begin?
Hey monkey, where you been?

Just get the world off your shoulders
and close your pretty blue eyes
Hey monkey, what's life without an occasional surprise?

Got nowhere but home to go
Got Ben Folds on my radio right now
I'm in trouble for the things I need
Hey monkey don't you want to be needed too?

Hey monkey, where you been?
This lonely spiral I've been in
Hey monkey, when can we begin?
Hey monkey, where you been?

Miller's angels in black and white
Welcome everyone in
Children dreaming of wrong and right
Wrapped in grace and in sin

They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where they're gonna go
Hey romeo

Miller's fingers are traveling down the length of her thigh
But Miller's mind is still wandering
Staring up at the sky

They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where they're gonna go
Hey romeo

Don't come around here

Miller's angels are hovering in between the earth and the sun
In the shadow of god's unwavering love
I am a fortunate son

They come out of the blue sky
They come out of the blue
They come out of the blue sky
But you never know where they're gonna go
Hey romeo

(for Sean & me)

I guess I think I feel alright
You come circling through the light
The skyline, baby, is bright tonight
What more perfect rendezvous?
The sundown paints the shadows
Through the daylight, Amy, on what we do

It looks like darkness to me
Drifting down into Miami

Can I say,
"I wish that this weather would never leave?"
It just gets hard to believe
That God sent this angel to watch over me
Cause my angel
She don't receive my calls
Says I'm too dumb to...
Too dumb to fight
Too dumb to save
Well, maybe, I don't need no angel at all

It looks like darkness to me
Drifting down into Miami
She could pull the sunlight through me
Coming down into Miami

Make a circle in the sand
Make a halo with your hand
I'll make a place for you to land

The bus is running
It's time to leave
This summer's gone
And so are we
So come on baby,
Let's go shut it down in New Orleans

Guess I think I feel alright,
You come circling through the light,
The skyline baby, is bright tonight,
One more perfect rendezvous,
Sundown paints the shadows through,
Daylight aiming on what we do.

It looks like darkness to me, oh,
Drifting down, into Miami, Miami.

Can I say?
I wish that this weather would never leave,
It just gets hard to believe,
That God sent this angel, to watch over me,
'Cause my angel, she don't receive my calls,
She says I'm too dumb to fuck,
Too dumb to fight, too dumb to save,
Well, maybe I don't need no angel at all.

It looks like darkness to me, oh,
Drifting down, into Miami,
She could pull the sun right through me, oh,
Coming down, into Miami, Miami.

Make a circle in the sand,
Make a halo with your hands,
Make a place for you to land.

The bus is runnin', it's time to leave,
The summer's gone, so are we,

She is trapped inside a month of grey
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And then runs away
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me

She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me

Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She's entwined in me
Crazy as can be
Yeah, but she's alright with me

She is trapped inside a month of grey,
And they take a little every day,
She is a victim of her own responses,
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle,
And then runs away,
It's a sin to be, fading endlessly,
Yeah, but she's alright with me.

She is leaving on a walkaway,

Yeah, but she's alright with me,
She's alright, she's alright with me,

In the still water she lies down,
Shaking through the press of sunlight,
We rolled into Lexington,
She shakes off the drop of daylight,
Water beading up her chest,
Bleeding down between her knees,
The rivers in Kentucky flow,
Between the bluegrass wavy seas but oh, Margery,
Sticks the knife in while I couldn't see.

Oh, breathless with anticipation,
Baited reelers set their hooks,
Tuck their heads beneath the high grass,
And lie and wait beside the brooks,
For infants pushing slowly through,
Frustration leading back along,
The alleys of a childhood,
That will not release us willingly but oh, Margery,
Sticks the knife in while I couldn't see,
Strait into me baby.

Dust me off, shut me down,
Dream of where I haven't been,
Just close the door inside my heart,
And stuff in the south Atlantic wind,
'Cause I have hollow eyes,
Haunting only to myself,
Well even so, I-I-I,
Can't stop scraping hollows in myself,
I took the train from California,
To the far side of the continent,
Woke up in Kentucky,
Where a wedding was about to end,
And I looked up at Anna,
She turned back to look at me,
Yeah it's best to kill the ones that matter,
Render blind the ones who see.

But oh, Margery, takes the blade and walks away from me,
Oh, Margery, love like blood is pouring out of me,
Oh, yeah Margery, I said my heart won't stop bleeding over me baby,
Yeah, oh.

Oh, I can't shut it in,
It's got far too many doors to block the wind,
Oh, I can't shut it in,
Yeah, it's got far too many doors to block the wind,
Oh, I can't shut it in,
It's got far too many doors to block the wind.

Dancing like the night time down in Nashville,
But I seem to know the ghosts who like to run,
I got a call to go, to a late night picture show,
So I traded in the darkness and I'm already there,
I'm already there and I'm trying, to make some friends.

So if you see that movie star and me,
If you see my picture in a magazine,
Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV,
Well honey, I'm just trying,
To make some sense outta me.

I left a lot of ghosts in San Francisco,
And now you wanna say you see through me,
Well, what you want to see ain't your memories of me,
So I could turn around tonight, but I'm already there,
I'm already there and I'm just trying, to make some friends.

So if you see that movie star and me,
If you should see my picture in a magazine,
Or if you fall asleep while you're watching TV,
Well honey, I'm just trying,
To make some sense of Los Angeles.

Boston gets cold this time of year,
Seems like each day just leaves me numb,
I gotta get outta here and go walking in the sun.

Well if you see that movie star and me,
If you should see my picture in a magazine,
Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV,
Well honey, I'm just trying to make some sense,
Honey, I'm just trying to make some friends,
But baby, I'm not trying to make amends,
For coming to Los Angeles,
Oh, Los Angeles.

No more Boston, no more Nashville, no more Oakland,
Oh baby, come on out to the city,
Come on, take a walk down Sunset with me,
Oh, we gonna get drunk, find us some skinny girls,
And go street walkin'
Street walkin' baby, oh, in Los Angeles,
Street walkin' baby.

Hey man, it's a really good place to find yourself a taco.

Wasted time running scared,
When all a love needs is to be believed in,
All those Springs come and go,
Past like trains of boxcars leaving,
But I would be lying if I didn't tell you the truth,
They will leave you, they will leave you.

So come now, let's go dance to the siren's song,
Come now, leave your damage behind and gone.

Some are lost to you.

Wasted time running scared,
All that I need is to believe in something like a Summer,
And I know you need somebody just like I do,
And all these foxes go down in their barrows to hide,
They will leave you, they will leave you behind.

So come now, let's go dance to the siren's song,
Come now, leave your damage behind and gone,
Just come now, lets go down to the dance floor,
Come now, lose your mind at Le Ballet d'Or.

Some are lost, some are leaving,
Some are lost, some are leaving,
But I'm not going at all,
I'm not going anywhere at all.

Some are lost to you.

We've wasted time running scared,
Now Autumn's fire is ashes on the breeze,
And it spins away like dust on pearls,
As Winter comes to usher in the evening,
But all of these drummers go stand on the hillsides alone,
They will leave you, they will leave you at home.

So come now, let's go dance to the siren's song,
Come now, leave your damage behind and gone,
So come now, let's go down to the dance floor,
Come now, lose your mind at Le Ballet d'Or,
Just come now, come on let's get out while the getting's good,
Just come now, there's no one left in the neighborhood.

Jumpin' Jesus my oh my,
He's got a great big bottle of sunshine,
Jumpin' Jesus why oh why,
Take the time to get inside, to get inside.

So what's a wall, with so much yellow for?
I don't know what it's for,
What's a wall has so much yellow for?
I don't know what it's for.

Jumpin' Jesus my oh my,
He's got a great big bottle of sunshine,
Jumpin' Jesus why oh why,
Take the time to get inside, oh get inside,
Get inside, get inside, get inside, get inside.

Well Armand Hammer in Odessa,
Lives with his wife and his child on a house boat,
Yeah he likes sunflowers,
And big picture frames and Van Goghs.

Jumpin' Jesus my oh my,
He's got a great big bottle of sunshine,
Jumpin' Jesus why oh why,
Take the time to get inside, oh get inside,
Get inside, get inside, get inside, get inside,
Get inside, get inside, get inside, get inside.

Can you see me, up on the building,
From down on the pavement or out in the crowd,
Can you see me through the glare of the lamppost,
I'm walking a tightrope into the moon.

I don't want to feel, so different,
But I don't want to be insignificant,
And I don't know how to see the same things,
Different now.

Oh, could you see me, I'm one in a million,
I am Icarus falling, out of the sun,
Could you see me fall in the light of spotlights,
And jackknife through night as black as a bedroom,
And white as a lie.

I don't want to feel, so different,
But I don't want to be insignificant,
And I don't know how to see the same thing,
Different now.

Diving through the dark,
While the night turns blue,
Are you aware of your intentions,
'Cause I wear my intentions so clear.

If you see me, wading through water,
Oh, come drown in the river right in front of the world,
Hey, you can wash your face and hands in the stream of my anger
It's as bright as white paper, as dark as a girl.

I don't want to feel, so different,
But I don't want to be insignificant,
And I don't know how to see the same things,
Different now.

I don't want to feel, so different,
But I don't want to be insignificant,
And I don't know how to see the same things,
Different now, now, now.

Got a message in my head,
That the papers had all gone,
Richard Manuel is dead,
And the daylight's coming on,
I've been wandering through the dark,
Now I'm standing on the lawn.

If I could give all my love to you,
I could justify myself,
But I'm just not coming through,
You're a pill to ease the pain,
Of all the stupid things I do,
I'm an anchor on the line,
Of a clock that tells the time,
That is running out on you.

Well it was cold when I woke,
And the day was halfway done,
Nearly spring in San Francisco,
And I cannot feel the sun,
You were sleeping next to me,
But I knew that you'd be gone.

She brings me home

But I'm not sleeping anymore

She tells me when you look at me She tells me when you're lying

She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping,
She comes to me when I'm alone,

She comes to me she shuts my eyes,
She brings me home.

But I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore,

Well I'm not sleeping, I'm not sleeping anymore, anymore, anymore,
I said rain rain go away, come again some other day,
'Cause I got all this shit to say, but I gone back to find my way,
My sisters mothers favorite son lost among the chosen one,
But I got news for everyone cause I'm going out the door.

The devil's in the dreaming
He tells you I'm not sleeping in my hotel room alone
With nothing to believe in
You dive into the traffic rising up
And it's so quiet
You're surprised
And then you wake
For all the things you're losing
You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change
I'm going down to Hollywood
They're gonna make a movie from the things that they find
crawling round my brain
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
And I could shake this static everytime I try to sleep
I wish for all the world that I could say,
"Hey Elizabeth, you know, I'm doing alright these days."
The devil's in the dreaming
You see yourself descending from a building to the ground
You watch the sky receding
You spin to see the traffic rising up
And it's so quiet
You're surprised
And then you wake
For all the things I'm losing
I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
But I'm going down to Hollywood
They're gonna make a movie from the things that they find
crawling round my brain
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
I wish for all the world that I could say,
"Hey Elizabeth, you know, I'm doing alright these days."
In one of these dreams, you forgive me
It makes me think of the bad decisions that keep you at home
How could anyone else have changed?
All these wrong conclusions that leave you alone
How could everyone rearrange?
How could everyone else have changed?
What I see I believe
For all the things I'm losing
I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
Well, I'm going down to Hollywood
They're gonna make a movie from the things that they find
crawling around my brain
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
And I could shake this static everytime I try to sleep
I wish for all the world that I could say,
"Hey Elizabeth, you know, I'm doing alright these days."
But I can't sleep at night

Got no place to go,
But there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico,
She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin,
And if I bring a little music I could fit right in.

We got airplane rides,
We got California drowning out the window side,
We've got big black cars,
And we got stories,
How we slept with all the movie stars.

I may take a holiday in Spain,
Leave my wings behind me,
Drink my worries down the drain,
And fly away to somewhere new.

Hop on my choo-choo,
I'll be your engine driver in a bunny suit,
If you dress me up in pink and white,
We may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight.

She's my angel,
She's a little better than the one that used to be with me,
'Cause she liked to scream at me,
Man, it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree.

I may take a holiday in Spain,
Leave my wings behind me,
Drive this little girl insane,
And fly away to someone new.

Everybody's gone,
They left the television screaming that the radio's on,
Someone stole my shoes but there's a couple of bananas,
And a bottle of booze.

Oh well, happy new year's baby,
We could probably fix it if we clean it up all day,
Or we could simply pack our bags,
And catch a plane to Barcelona 'cause this city's a drag.

I may take a holiday in Spain,
Leave my wings behind me,
Flush my worries down the drain,
And fly away to somewhere new.

All my friends got flowers in their eyes
But I got none this season
All of last years blooms have gone and died
Time doesn't give a reason
Hey baby, do you ask yourself sometimes
What you need to be forgiven?
Everything that you've ever done wrong
Is the reason that I'm driven
Straight to you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I get my ends and my beginnings mixed up too
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two
Waiting for the trains that just never come
Beginning to believe in
the disappearing nature of the people we have been
We have begun to change into the worst kind of people
So unkind
Oh apologies, no apologies, this apology
Doesn't describe the way it feels to feel for you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I find myself slowly disappearing too
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you
You might want to help me to remain with you
I just wanna stay for a little while
I wanna stay for a little while
There's a night life falling down on me
I just feel like a change
Beneath the sun in the summer,
a sea of flowers won't bloom without the rain
But oh, this desert life, this high life
Here at the dying end of the day
I wasn't made for this scene baby
But I was made in this scene
And baby it's just my way
I don't wanna go home alone, I wanna come on home to you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I line my sky with all the silver I can use
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two

When you disappear on me,
It's just like parades in the rain,
Every time I see you, you just disappear again,
Every time you're leaving I don't know what to say,
I wanna see this whole town go away.

So could you tell me, why you're leaving,
'Cause I don't know why it has to be so,
Could you tell me, why you're leaving,
'Cause I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know.

All these ending love songs,
Come into my eyes,
But every time I see you,
I'm alive, I'm alive.

So could you tell me why you're leaving?
'Cause I don't know why it has to be so,
Could you tell me why you're leaving,
'Cause I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
