She came to L.A. all the way from Boston town
She wound up on the screen where I saw her goin' down
Now I can't see you, I can't see you at all
No I don't know you, I don't know you at all
I bought her films, yeah I bought all her magazines
And I watched her every move until I saw her in my dreams
Now I can't stand it, see you caught from behind
No I don't know you, girl you gotta be mine
Keli Richards come on...
Well I bought a gun, there's just one thing left to do
Now I can't make up my mind it comes down to me or you
Now I can't see you, I can't see you at all
No I don't know you, I don't know you at all
I want to tell if I am or am not myself
It's hard to know, how far or if at all could go?
I've waited far too long
For somethin' I forgot was wrong
I don't know all the answers
I think that I'll find
Or have it within the time
But it's all that I'll have in mind
Until' I fall away
I won't keep you waiting long
Until' I fall away
I don't know what to do anymore
Until' I fall away
My fear pretend that I'll never be in love again
It's real to me but not like these fools
And not like this scene
I won't find or have it within the time
If it's all rusted and fade
In the spot where we fell
Where I thought I'd left behind
It's loose now but we could try
Until' I fall away
I won't keep you waiting long
Until' I fall away
I don't know what to do anymore
Until' I fall away
When there's no good answers
And no new questions
Another personal disaster
There's nowhere to go but down
Until' I fall away
I won't keep you waiting long
Until' I fall away
I don't know what to do anymore
Until' I fall away
Until' I fall away
Until' I fall away
Until' I fall away
She could be anywhere at all
I know I'm heading for a fall
Well I want to see her every night
I make a wish and hold her tight
I want to wake up next to her
But I know there's something wrong
We used to have all kinds of things
Now I know the pain heartache can bring
Well I want to see her every night
I make a wish and hold her tight
I want to wake up next to her
But I know there's something wrong
'Cause I can be waiting around all the time
I'll wait for that girl
She could be anywhere at all
I know I'm heading for a fall
Well I want to see her every night
I make a wish and hold her tight
I want to wake up next to her
It's like trying to light a cigarette
When the matches you got are soaking wet
Tallest buildings they got are bound to fall
When it's coming down like a wrecking ball
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia
It's everything that's cool rolled into one
Everything that's not is left alone
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia
Sometimes it sounds like she's been crying
But when she lights, this whole dump is...
It's everything that's cool rolled into one
Everything that's not is left alone
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm
I didn't ask
They shouldn't have told me
At first I'd laugh, but now
It's sinking in fast
Whatever they've sold me
Well baby I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
It gets hard
The memory's faded
Who gets what they say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
Until I hear it from you
I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know, nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
Til we're talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
I've been trying for so long
Trying to forget
The ports of northern Africa and the man I met
He said he had a daughter
Maybe I could meet her
He thought I was a trader
Oh, that was how I met
That slave dealer's daughter
Her eyes were black her hair was raven
Her skin was soft and brown
Eighteen years she looked a woman
I thought she'd been around
She'd never met a jailbird??
I knew that she was lonely
She offered me her body
So I fell in love
With that slave dealer's daughter
Her father's men came after me
Trying to hunt me down
For three long years I've hid my face
And run from town to town
She never met a jailbird
I knew that she was lonely
She offered me her body
So I fell in love
Written in 1908 by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer
Katie Casey was baseball mad
had the fever and had it bad
Just to root for the home town crew
every sou, Katie blew
On a Saturday her young beau
called to see if she'd like to go
to see a show but Miss Kate said ";No,
";I'll tell you what you can do...";
CHORUS
Take me out to the ball game
take me out to the crowd
buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
I don't care if I never get back
So it's root, root, root for the home team
if they don't win it's a shame
for it's one, two, three strikes you're out
at the old ball game
SECOND VERSE
Katie Casey saw all the games
knew all the players by their first names
told the umpire he was wrong
all along, good and strong
When the score was just two to two
cagey Casey knew what to do
just to cheer up the boys she knew
she made the gang sing this song
CHORUS
It's our call
It sways, it stalls
I need a little extra time alone
Well maybe take the long way home
Just enough to get it wrong
Nothing like a bad decision
Says who you are
Fools rush in
For the grist in my
For the grist in my mill
Can't you see
When you're perfectly
When you're perfectly still
One big rout
We're all sold out
If nothing's off limits, we'll pay
Price tags on every other day
We're bankrupt here for now
But they can't take my anger
It can't be touched
Fools rush in
For the grist in my
For the grist in my mill
Can't you see
When you're perfectly
When you're perfectly still...
Outdated maps
Missed pull-out ramps
I won't contribute to our own demise
Pass up the consolation prize
It starts from here from now
Nothing like a bad decision
Says who you are
Streetlights on, the night air's cool
I'm driving right past my old school
I'm looking for my pack of cigarettes
I'm thinking back on things I've done
I can't forget the stupid ones
It seems I do my best by accident
What's that sound, what's that song
What's this street I'm driving on
In my car
In my car
I miss her feel, her touch, her taste
I feel the distance everyplace
This distance can't be taken casually
I take my time, just drive around
Feeling lost in my hometown
Every turn I take is comforting
What's that sound, what's that song
What's this street I'm driving on
In my car
In my car
I'll take a break from all their big plans
My first mistake was listening to them
I made a mess it's all been proven
Over and over again
Over and over again
Streetlights on, the night air's cool
I'm driving right past my old school
Looking for some face I can't forget
I take my time, just drive around
Feeling lost in my hometown
Every turn I take's an accident
I walked home to the sun
I couldn't ride another one
I thought a lot along the lines
And I've been fooled about all night
Wiped clean always by midnight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...
Three, four peaks all I could see
In the morning it's a hundred and ten degrees
But I like the goddamn heat
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
All the autumn that you can see
All the autumn that you can see
It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
and then it's cold
It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
and then it's cold
There's no telling I was so confused
I try but I can't help you choose
Tucson is so far away
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
She can be anywhere she wants to be tonight
In the arms of another man I know
But that won't bring me down on the night I've got tonight
There's nothing there, can you understand at all???
Cause I can sleep without you...
I've got no reason to doubt it
I can't live without it
I ain't in no big hurry
My life ain't filled with worries
Lots of men tie themselves in knots all over you
That's something I promised myself I'd never ever do
Cause life's too short to go on living with this sin
Cause I saw a pretty face and you know I'd cave right in
Cause I can sleep without you...
Well I've got no reason to doubt it
I can't live without it
I ain't in no big hurry
But I've been filled with worries
Well she can be anywhere she wants to be tonight
In the arms of another man I know
But that won't bring me down on the night I've got tonight
There's nothing there, can you understand at all??
Cause I can sleep without you...
Well I've got no reason to doubt it
I can't live without it
I ain't in no big hurry
But I've been filled with worries
The fireworks from the rooftops fall down around whole town
So tell it seems like so long since I've had you beside me here
We used to walk together
I've nothing to show me now and it seems like so long
Since I've had you beside me here
Well he's got ropes and chains all around her heart
And nothing I can say could ever tear them apart
Her mumbles come now softly (?)
From the other side of this room
And the things she won't say
Just reminds she's not alone
Well I can't help but feeling a little more than blue
Cause the things that matter just don't mean a damn to you
Well he's got ropes and chains all around her heart
And nothing I can say could ever tear them apart
The fireworks from the roofs all fall down around you
So tell it seems like so long since I've had you beside me here
Lets a walk together
I've nothing to show me now and it seems like so long
Since I've had you beside me here
Well he's got ropes and chains all around her heart
Hey, now it's all right
Hey now, it's fine, it's cool
Seems we've done our worst
It's time to head for school
And so we tripped upstairs
I seen the sun come up
Judging by your shape
I think you've had enough
It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
Tune it up to Memphis time
Hey, now I couldn't know
Baby, I couldn't tell
Just what's going on
Inside of someone else
You know that this small world
Sometimes this big town
It can drag you up
As well as drag you down
It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
Tune it up to Memphis
You can't say that I've been right
I can't say that you've been wrong
We knew it all along
(Take cover Scotty)
So we tripped upstairs
I seen the sun come up
Judging by your shape
I think you've enough
It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
Who's to say what's right or wrong
If I stand out in the rain too long
Filling up my drinking cup
When I know I've had much more than enough
Write in the pages of my notebook
But they never sound the way they look
Kicking at this old tin can
And I wonder where the hell I am
I can't figure you out
I can't figure you out
When it seems so fine
When it's held to the light
I can't figure you out
I can't figure you out
They push and pull till it breaks in half
I never trust a guy with a nervous laugh
Worried 'bout the smallest things
While the world is coming crashing in
{One two three}
I've been waiting around all night
Your warm kiss is on my mind
A piece of you, this is all I've got
The whole damn thing isn't what I want
And I've been waiting around here all night long
Holdin' onto these memories, until they come undone
My hands are tied
My hands are tied
Telephone is ringin' by my bed
I pick it on up and the line goes dead
I splash summer water on my face
Clears my mind I'm out of this place
And I've been waiting around here all night long
Holdin' onto these memories, until they come undone
My hands are tied
My hands are tied
Nerves are frayed and I've had enough
I'm a lot afraid that it'll hurt too much
And I can't seem to stop at all
My pain wore through waiting for your call
And I've been waiting around here all night long
Holdin' onto these memories, until they come undone
My hands are tied
My hands are tied
Won't you 'round here all the time?
Just can't seem to shake you off my mind
My hands are tied
My hands are tied
My hands are tied
It was dark and cool
She said I didn't know all the rules
She made her mind up fast
She took a walk and she didn't come back
Girls can't wait...
Everyone should know
Life ain't no picture show
You'll lose your place in line
You'll end up in the life's back row (?)
Girls can't wait
Now I'm all alone
Four empty walls and a telephone
All I know right now is girls can't wait...
I'm just marking time
I hold court with some friends of mine
I think I love that girl
I'm thinking that I could change her mind
All last summer in case you don't recall
I was yours and you were mine forget it all
Is there a line that I could write, sad enough to make you cry?
And all the lines you wrote to me were lies
Months roll past, the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?
Well the things you said and did to me, seemed to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won you give for free
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Rumors follow everywhere you go
When you left and I was last to know
Famous now and there's no doubt, all the places you hang out
They know your name and know what you're about
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Street lights break on through the car window
And the time too often on A M radio
Well you know it's all I think about I write your name, drive past your house your boyfriend's over I watch your light go out
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Did you see the sky
I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, it's just the farthest that I've ever been
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
I know we're headed somewhere, I can see how far we've come
But still I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing and I'll swear it might be fun
It's a long way down when all the knots we've tied have come undone
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell now, we've already been forever damned
In New York city, where it's cold as hell
And the streetlights shone in my blue room
Well, I was thinkin' about the nights we spent
Back in Galveston beneath Georgia moon
But it was early and I had my share
And I was countin' change for cab ride back to bed
She looked to me through the cold night air
And thoughts of you kicked on inside my head
Well, she was tall, her hair dark as midnight
But she had a way and just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin' she reminds me of you
And though I've loved you, and the trust we shared
Lord don't tell me that I've thrown it all away
A moment's weakness shouldn't change the fact
That I don't need you and there's nothin' more to say
Lord, she was tall, her hair dark as midnight
But she had a way and just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin' 'cause she reminds me of you
Well, she's leaving today, I do know so far away
I'm feeling so blue and it shows
In every single way
Once that girl, she was mine for such a short time
We used to spend every night, now all I do is cry
We'll say that you can't miss something that you've never had
So tell me why, why I could feel so bad
We'll say that you can't miss something that you've never had
So tell me why, why I could feel so bad
Oh, we used to walk down the path just like lovers do
She'd hold my hand and we'd laugh
Then I'd stare in her eyes, they were blue
Once that girl she was mine for such a short time
We used to spend every night, now all I do is cry
We'll say that you can't miss something that you've never had
So tell me why, why I could feel so bad
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Emulate the style
A competition smile
Now I'm running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where it's easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I'm hoping you'll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, it's not easy to let you know
What I'm dying to show
Dying until you know
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
Now I've thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
I'm like a stone
Falling hard
And I'm only getting worse
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
How can I find something
That two can take
Without stumbling as we
Walk into our future's wake
I'm like a broken record
That you can play
Repeating as if it matters
Everything I want to say
I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now
Forget that time
It's nothing we touch and see
All this is fine
Even as it crashes down on me
I'm looking around
There's nothing that I could want
More than to tell you
There's no more than we've already got
I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now...
Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids
Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
This car I'm driving can't drive me fast enough
Thirty miles of potholed roads got me shaking like a drunk
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere
Static on the radio gave out five miles back
And I'm singing some old Marshalls song just for laughs
My head aches from cigarettes my eyes are edged with sleep
Meet out past the muddy ditch beneath the palos verdes trees
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere
Monday morning takes me back to where I have to be
Full of half assed-promises this shit just ain't for me
Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids
Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Party girls between the sheets
She can't show that much to me
I'd rather drink until I see
Angels tonight
I had a girl I thought was mine
I wised up and just in time
Such wisdom makes these sluts look like
Angels tonight...
As we collide as the lights go out
There's someone else she thinks about
It's all for the best that I can't figure out
Well we've been here once before
And we've stuck it out for more
When we come around we'll settle down
The cracks below the floor
Has it been eleven years
Since I've stood here with my peers
And we started out to conquer doubt and Frisbee
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
And at times it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home 'cause I forgot
If it is then thanks a lot
'Cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
At times it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home 'cause I forgot
If it is then thanks a lot
'Cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
The last horizons I can see
Are filled with bars and factories
And in them all we fight to stay awake
I drink enough of anything
To make this world look new again
Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves
She had nothing left to say
So she said, 'She loved me'
I stood there grateful for the lie
I drink enough of anything
To make this girl look new again
Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves
Turn summer trees to bones and ice
Turn insect songs against the night
With words we build and words we break
I'm drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves
Maybe I could use you to reassure myself
I wouldn't wish this indecision on anybody else
I drink enough of anything to make this world look new
And when sin smiles, how could it be wrong?
The last horizons I can see
I now resigned to memories
I never thought I'd still be here today
I drink enough of anything
To make myself look new again
Drunk, drunk, drunk, in the gardens and the graves
Time won't stand by forever
If I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Else I'll seem the fool
At 29, you'd think I'd know better
Living like a kid
When my lies may seem less than clever
Is when I fall for it
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Would bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference
Without a second look
There's no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges
Take 'em for a ride
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Would bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference
Without a second look
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Would bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Only time will tell, only time will tell
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Would bring us anything
This night never happened
If it's all right with you
Not a word of our weakness
So much as a clue
There's a place outside
I'm glad to play no part
The fairest arms can tally up the faintest stars
Wash away my weekend
Shatter my sight
C'mon sweet amnesia
You're needed here tonight
Take a seat in the shadows
Forget it as it goes
Dissipate in the morning air
All you know
If you find out
You'll find every lie you might
I was nowhere near last night
Whitewash everything in sight
These suspicions have been long drained dry
Our persistence holds them here
A maze of bars and rented rooms remain
Enough to make you almost look away
This night never happened
If it's all right with you
Another for the collection of things we didn't do
That private party is over
Thank God we get new starts
The fairest arms still tally up the faintest stars
When it comes down
In a clear and certain light
I was nowhere near last night
I was nowhere near last night
Chain me up
It's easy to take, it is
It's never enough
To care for the outcome
The average faith that there is
Discussions of nothing pertain to the mountains
Rattling around in the my head
Maybe there's nowhere or no one to run to
But I'll find out what there is
Oh well, I'll find out what there is
And I'm using up space
We wear in our travels
And straight into hit or a miss
And I'm watching my childhood and hometown unravel
And I'll find out what's left
Oh maybe I'll find out what's left
Slipping down landslides
Bearing on wildlife
And my biggest days
All your faith in your liberal disclosures
Are there in your face
Pine away in the corner of the closet if you think that it's safe
Yeah maybe there's nowhere or nothing to turn to
Oh well, I'll find out how you're made
Oh yeah, I'll find out how you're made
And I'm wasting my time
Issues never worth solving
All that there was there still is
And I'm watching my friendships and love life dissolving
And I'll find out what there is
If you close your eyes
You'll see through my winner disguise
And I'll hold your hand
You're falling all over again
It takes so long
It takes so long
Oh, running over the edge of a curve
Now free-falling till the end of the world
Lost in focus of reality's blur
We run alone
But you know
You've seen through me
Inside another branch of the tree
And I'll never leave
I'll find you everything you need
It takes so long
It takes so long
Oh, running over the edge of a curve
Now free-falling till the end of the world
Lost in focus of reality's blur
We run alone
But you know
You'll see
That you're falling from the edge of the world
But you know
Don't believe
That you're falling from the edge of the world
It takes so long
It takes so long
Oh, running over the edge of a curve
Now free-falling till the end of the world
Lost in focus of reality's blur
We run alone
It's been such a long time since I've seen you around
I ran into your brother who said you were back in town
It's just so funny to see you in this dive
It must be so different when you're eight miles high
Chorus
Supergirl flying through the atmosphere
Touching down in Paris, soon be in Tangiers
It's a superhero's welcome when you finally come back down
But even when you land you bet your feet don't touch the ground
Supergirl
I heard about your father, and it was sad to hear
I would have made the service, but I thought it might be weird
My family sent some flowers, he was such a kind old man
That time he caught us kissing behind the old bandstand
Chorus
Sometimes late at night when I'm all alone
I watch the airplane lights, make my way back home
I wonder if you're flying somewhere up in the clouds
While the rest of us are stuck here down inside the crowd
Are you ever lonely in some motel room
Looking out the window at an ever-changing world?
Can you please fly back as when you and I were young
If anyone could make it, you're gonna be the one
Chorusx2
Supergirl
Can you hear me calling?
Supergirl
I don't think she can
Supergirl
Say you better pack
Better get your things together
Don't know where to go
Until you wind up there
Better grab a coat
You can never tell the weather
Let's hope were gone forever
Someday soon
Gonna sail the big blue ocean
Gonna cause a big commotion
Someday soon
Keep it down below the radar
See beyond the brightest big stars
Mama said your life wouldn't be too easy
That's about the only thing she said at all
Still those words are all you're left to cling to
They're all that seems to ring out true
Someday soon
Gonna sail the big blue ocean
Gonna cause a big commotion
Someday soon
Keep it down below the radar
See beyond the brightest big stars
Someday Soon
Someday Soon
The towns pass by
Like a car crash chase
The nights blur into
Another endless race
Just slow it down
Stop running from your ghosts
Just slow it down
Just slow it down
Say you better pack
Better get your things together
Don't know where to go
Until you wind up there
Until you wind up there
Someday soon
Gonna sail the big blue ocean
Gonna cause a big commotion
Someday soon
Keep it down below the radar
See beyond the brightest big stars
Someday Soon
Someday Soon
Someday Soon
Spit it out, the sad truth
One of many secrets we acquired in youth
My dirty clothes lately I keep them
In the luggage that you to gave me
With a little luck, one night
We'll drink together in a different light
Our heads down, our ears ring
We only see angels when we both believe
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Spit it up, the right words
Of course we always keep them
Where we know it hurts
The little things you did too
I'd almost still believe if it weren't for you
Take me, take mine hide it away, hide it away
Take me, take mine hide it away, hide it away
You said, "Surround me when it's over
I can't stand it another night"
Forever now and definitely sober
When we stare in a different light
Spit it out, the sad truth
One of many secrets we acquired in youth
The right words lately I keep them
In the luggage that you gave to me
Take me, take my hurting away
Take me, take my hurting away, hurting away
Take me, take mine, hide it away
Take me take my hurting away, hide it away
So late
So late
So late
So late
Well is it any wonder that the stars don't just rush by
When you're only doin' 60 through this oh-so-vacant night
But it's lackin' something big this time
What the hell did you expect to find?
Aphrodite on a barstool by your side
Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw gin mill rainfall
What do you remember if at all?
Only pieces of the night
And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd
If you let your feet get trampled on
When the music is that loud
But you wanted to be where you are
But it looked much better from afar
A hillside in shadow between the people and the stars
Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw gin mill rainfall
What do you remember if at all?
Only pieces of the night
And it seems so distant
But still only half the night away
Where notions between your questions come too
Is it any wonder where
The pieces of the night have been?
Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw gin mill rainfall
What do you remember if at all?
Only pieces of the night
Only pieces of the night
Then I saw
Only pieces of the night
Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Then I saw gin mill rainfall
What do you remember if at all?
Only pieces of the night
Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight
Looking all around the room I see the clutter in the gloomI'm not only back, I'm not only numbChanging shades within the evening, in a day then I'll be leavingI'm not only back, I'm not only numb
When the air at home is thin, getting out then looking inYeah she knows, she knows, she knowsIt ain't awful hard to tell what it's like, my little hellYeah she knows, she knows, she knows
I'm now familiar with the tone I hear in bed when I'm aloneI'm not only back, I'm not only numbIn the shade below the eaves think I could chain smoke anythingI'm not only back, I'm not only numb
When the air at home is thin, getting out, then looking inYeah she knows, she knows, she knowsIt ain't awful hard to tell what it's like, my little hellYeah she knows, she knows, she knowsShe knows, she knows, she knows
She sees all the cars around the parking lots of barsWe've played and stayedStarted laughing, looking down upon the bedThat we've made, we've made, we've made, we've made
She sees all the cars around the parking lots of barsWe've played and stayedStarted laughing, looking falling down across the bedThat we've made, we've made, we've made, we've made
That you see it in her letters
On the paper with her pen
Her response is getting stranger
I think she's coming round again
So tell me Mrs. Rita
What's it say in my tarot?
Read my palm and tell me
Why do lovers come and go?
Is she coming 'round for me once again
Around, or was that just the end?
I just hope she's coming 'round again
I've been keeping myself busy
With my books and with my tapes
Every day's much better
Since I've slowed my drinking pace
There's no swimming in the bottle
It's just someplace we all drown
I've got lost myself in sorrow
Lost my confidence in doubt
Is she coming 'round for me once again
Around, or was that just the end?
I just hope she's coming 'round again
Get in the car and drive through town
Down the block and back around
Pretending that she's there with me we drive
Gone forever
Well, my patience keeps me plaintive
My high hopes keep me alone
My lover's will is shaken
I wish she would just come home
So tell me Mrs. Rita
What's it say in my tarot?
Read my palm and tell me
Why do lovers come and go?
Is she coming 'round for me once again
Around, or was that the end and?
I just hope she's coming 'round again
Is she coming 'round for me once again
Around, or was that the end and?
I just hope she's coming 'round again
I just hope she's coming 'round
I just hope she's coming 'round
I just hope she's coming 'round
When the candles dim
Pull the curtains up and close your eyes
Go to sleep
Let the moonlight fill the bed all night
Won't matter how
It won't matter what or when or why
Just lay in bed
Let the moonlight fill the bed all night
If you come back in it's place
Can we forgive and forget mistakes we've made
Just hold on now
We'll be everywhere
Can we just pretend
That the moon has turned and slipped away
Measure time
With the calendar or months and days
It's not too much
Maybe it's just a little bit naive
It's always born
After what we've done and all we say
If you come back in it's place
Can we forgive and forget mistakes we've made
We'll be back again with a ?
Left it's offspring on the line ?
We'll be everywhere it's all ?
Its all come back.. we remember...?
Can we just pretend
You're the one that turned and slipped away
Measure time
With the calendar or months and days
It's not too much
Maybe just a little bit naive
It's always born
After what we've done and all we say
If you come back in it's place Can we forgive and forget mistakes we've made
Just hold on now we'll be everywhere
Hope it's not too much (we'll be everywhere)
So I guess I must have just been dreaming
When I thought I heard myself say, "No"
Anyway it looks like no one heard me so here I go
'Cause when you're in the company of strangers
Or just the strangers you call friends
You know before you start just how it's going to end
So remember when those doors swing open
And all the drinks are passed around
Anytime the pickins look too easy, hold me down
I can't remember why I like this feeling
When it only seems to let me down
Soon I find I'm searching for the exit from the ground
And if I think the room is turning faster
Then I think the music is too loud
By then I've lived another broken story to let me out
So remember when those doors swing open
And all the drinks are passed around
When half the party moves into the bathroom, hold me down
Or if you're at the tail end of the evening
And Dr. Feelgood comes around
Anytime the pickins look too easy, hold me down
Down, if I want that part
Down, if I've gone too far
Well I guess I must have just been reeling
When I felt myself begin to fall
I realize I'm bounding down the hallway, off the walls
And if my bed was standing in the corner
I could just fall into it right now
And know that I'd just be staring at the ceiling going round and round
So remember when those doors swing open
And all the drinks are passed around
When half the party moves into the bathroom, hold me down
Or if you're at the tail end of the evening
And Dr. Feelgood comes around
Anytime the pickins look too easy, hold me down
Down, if I want that part
Down, if I've gone too far
Oh if I never think the room is turning faster
I wanna take you so far
But they don't want to let us out
But they do, they do, they do
I don't wanna walk on that highwire
They ain't gonna let us down
But they do, they do, they do
What I could never believe in
I was never really even
And I forgot about the cost
And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost
Didn't really wanna live it over
Or even wanna live it down
But I do, I do, I do
What I could never believe in
I was never really even
And I forgot about the cost
And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost
Didn't really wanna live it over
Or even wanna live it down
You'd tell me, do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place, hey jealousy
Hey jealousy, hey jealousy, hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
'Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place, hey jealousy
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place, hey jealousy
Hey jealousy, hey jealousy, hey jealousy
You'd tell me and do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You'd see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take it's place, hey jealousy
Hey jealousy, listen to my heart
I hear that train a comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when
Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
That train keeps rollin'
On down to San Antone
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that lonesome whistle
I hang my head and cry
Well, I bet there's rich folks eating
From a fancy dinin' car
I bet they're taking mushrooms
And smokin' big cigars
Well, I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
Those people keep movin'
And that's what tortures me
If they free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line
Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to be
But those people keep movin'
Goddammit, that's what tortures me
Man, if they'd free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line
Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to be
Those people keep movin'
Summer's kickin' in, I can feel the heat
Comin' through my car window
Friday nights are red brake lights
Stuck in here like cargo
Dead or alive on the 405
Traffic's moving like a slug
Dead or alive on the 405
Stuck behind a '68 bug
And I might make a Hummer
If I ever make Redondo tonight
I'm going in cold on a pick-up gig
And in between the classic sticks
You play your hit from '89
I'll sing mine from '95
Dead or alive on the 405
Traffic's moving like a slug
Dead or alive on the 405
Behind some hippies in a '68 bug
And I might make a Hummer
If I ever make Redondo tonight
Just like Ronnie sang, just like Ronnie sang
Gimme my Eddie Money
Dead or alive on the 405
Traffic ain't moving yet
Dead or alive on the 405
Now it's a gray hair in a new Corvette
Dead or alive on the 405
I'm just a cover band drummer
Stuck behind a Hummer
On the 405, dead or alive
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive
I won't play Mustang Sally
We'll have write up, Nickelback, L.A.
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive on the 405
Dead or alive on the 405
She's got me dizzy
She sees me through to the end
She's got me in her hands
And there's no use in pretending
Christine, sixteen
Christine, sixteen
She drives me crazy
I want to give her all I've got
And she's hot every day and night
There is no doubt about it
I don't usually say things like this to girls your age
(Christine, sixteen)
But when I saw you coming out of the school that day
That day I knew, I knew, I've got to have you, I've got to have you
(Christine, sixteen)
She's been around
But she's young and clean
I've got to have her
Can't live without her, whoa no
Christine, sixteen
Christine, sixteen
Christine

I'm a little too ripe to be actin' like this
Like some young guy barely got his first kiss
From my first baby steps to my last cigarette
Every single little thing was leading to this
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
You've been around too long to react so coy
Like I'm something that you'd best avoid
Like a first date kiss from an anxious guy
Knowing that he's got a little more in mind
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
We can last 'til dawn if the moon stays bright
And hang our secret on its last light
From a first date kiss that could not hide
We both wanted something more tonight
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
Christine Irene
Prettiest girl as I've ever seen
Christine Irene
I've lost my mind
On what I'd find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Allison Road
Fools in the rain
If the sun gets through
Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road
Dark clouds file in when the moon was near
Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare
There was no tellin' what I might find
And I couldn't see I was lost at the time...
On Allison Road
Yeah, I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road
So she fills up her sails
With my wasted breath
And each one's more wasted than the others you can bet
On Allison Road
Now I can't hide
(On Allison Road)
So why not drive
(On Allison Road)
I know I want to love her but I can't decide
On Allison Road
I didn't know I was lost at the time
Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide
And I went looking for an exit sign
All I wanted to find tonight...
On Allison Road
Yeah, I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road
I've lost my mind
If the sun gets through
Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road
On Allison Road
(On Allison Road)
Katie Casey was baseball mad
Had the fever and had it bad
Just to root for the home town crew
Every sou, katie blew
On a saturday her young beau
Called to see if she'd like to go
To see a show but miss kate said "No,
I'll tell you what you can do..."
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack
I don't care if I never get back
So it's root, root, root for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes you're out
At the old ball game
Katie Casey saw all the games
Knew all the players by their first names
Told the umpire he was wrong
All along, good and strong
When the score was just two to two
Cagey casey knew what to do
Just to cheer up the boys she knew
She made the gang sing this song
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack
I don't care if I never get back
So it's root, root, root for the home team
If they don't win it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes you're out
