When you finally scaled the wall
Thinking you had heard the siren singing
What you really heard was a broken bird
Making out like it's a dove
When you stole the soldier's car
Everybody knew what you were thinking
Ivory towers and lover's flowers
But no one thought you were a fool
You never stopped to notice all
The stolen clothes stacked in the hall
From the others who scaled the wall just to
Find themselves run off the road
When you showed up at the farm
Visions of the summer flying past you
The foxes had torn up
The mother and her pups
And the well was full of flies
When you walked down to the pond
Searching for the lover guiding you
It had been filled in with rusty nails and then

I am the one you're waiting for
Pour me another shot baby
Don't take no shit tonight
Tell these fuckers to all get lost
I am the one you're waiting for
So stop looking all over town
Don't you like the way I sing this song?
Don't you like the way I dance?
You are a firefly
You are sanctified
Take me somewhere pretty
Make me your sacrifice
Oh, darling please...
I am the one you're waiting for
So stop looking all over town
I am the one you're waiting for

Dog’s asleep out in the yard
Cat’s up on the roof
We’re out drinking at the bar
Down each others pants
In the photo booth
Wake me up still dark outside
Talking in your sleep
Something about an open door
And something about cold feet
I think you were asking me
To turn up the heat
Now it’s light
So let’s take a drive
Lay by the riverside
And I’ll
Tell you all about
Your sun-lit eyes
Dog’s asleep out in the yard
Cat’s up on the roof
We’re out drinking at the bar
Down each others pants

Can we see the new results of this constant reverie
Can we come up with new insults while we're sleeping
By the pound, by the second we design ourselves
Align our shelves with obedience
In due time we assign a new influence
To the new science
Even though we don't know its name anymore
Could you be an astronaut in the center of the earth
Could we make a new machine to stop
This old machine from giving birth
In our minds we make time for the candidates
To satiate our contingencies
And make our final pleas
To the gods we invented for the new intake
Oh, for heaven's sake

Come into vision
And last
Same psalm mother sung
Drink from your flask
And ask
If anyone has a favorite
And we’ll sing
We sing alone at the top of our lungs
Voices ring
Escape outside the cathedral
I don’t care
What you *sing?
But just do it in your old fashion way
Slaping your knee
As I said
This one makes up for the city
And we’ll sing
Sing alone at the top of our lungs
Voices ring
Escape outside the cathedral
Some folks
Just don’t give a damn
Whether they’re coming or going
Hey man
Take a stand
When you’re up
Put yourself back in place
And coming when you hear the ovations
Stations
fill up
As we leavers
Find the receivers
Stealing from the beggars wife
Here we go
I don’t know
If there’s any point to it all
But I sure love hearing your voice
Jordanna
Jordanna
Jordaaaannnnaaaaaa
Jordanna!
Jordanna!
Jordannnnnaaaaa!
(Ohohoh...)
Some folks
Just don’t give a damn
Whether they’re coming or going
Hey man
Take a stand
When you’re up
Put yourself back in place
And coming when you hear the ovations
Stations
fill up
As we leavers
Find the receivers
Stealing from the beggars wife
Here we go
I don’t know
If there’s any point to it all

Are you counting those things again
In hope that they get you in
Pretending the wind is a breeze
And letting your body freeze
And if you ask yourself you could stop these wayward pleas
So get up off of your knees
No matter what your father said or the books you read
Maybe you should save yourself instead
We jumped at the count of nine
But you still needed more time
You jumped at the count of eighteen
And let out a joyful scream
And said now I can see
But now you're just playing dead
As you pray to be led

Big city calling, I hear the echo outside
There's something so frightening in the deep western sky
I wish it was simple saying goodbye
Comfort me later, for now let me cry
Will cracks in the pavement bring me some sort of truth
Will they find some way to remind me of you
Will the train running eastbound help me remember my part
Will the wish for release fill the holes in my heart
The sky filled with phantoms in their towers of light
And lovers so restless give themselves to the night
If you cut me wide open and you looked deep inside
Would you find something deeper than this worrying mind?
This room is too empty and these streets are too wide
And I don't have the patience for this pain to subside
So I'm off to the land of litter and lights
Where rats in the tunnels keep the ghosts up all night
I'll learn the streets slowly, maybe find someone new
We'll drink up the sunrise and wake up with the moon
But I'm not so stupid, I'm not such a fool
To think that I'll stop
Stop thinking of you
I'm not so stupid, I'm not such a fool
To think that I'll stop

On the beach I limped and held your weary hand
That windy day we slept well past noon
Too busy counting every grain of sand
To even have a ghost of a clue
I played in the waves like a five-year-old child
Timing my jumps with the rolling tide
I never looked to see you on the shore
Planning your escape and drying your eyes
Had you known for a week, a month, or a year
Had you been trying in vain to let me know
Somehow I never noticed your tears
And sitting there smiling I watched you go
I laid on back, listening to the waves
Humming a song that you never knew
The water wet your feet
As you crossed through the sand
And whispered that you'd be back soon
I never thought to ask you when
Blind to the sorrow you were laying to rest
I never thought to tell you to jump back in

Cindy decided to leave
her childhood diary
under the bed
She burned almost everything
except for her wedding ring
Because she threw that in the sea
She hid in her neighbor's yard
and watched as the fire scarred
The house she never could leave
It was the prettiest thing
she thought she had ever seen
A thing in which to believe
Cindy walked down the street,
the smell of the fire so sweet
And she laughed through the smoke
At the end of the block
she made one last stop
To make sure she had everything
Awash in the beautiful sound
of the old house burning down
She opened her bag
She could have sworn that she took
her overdue library books
But they were not to be seen
A knowing smile crossed her face
as she remembered the place
Where she left them upstairs
She slowly walked back down the street
And into the burning debris

Ragged pages in shades of blue
Ink is bleeding from words written in 1982
They aligned themselves with you
Once clear, now turning into
A clouded view
The basement whispers, the attic sings
The lines you memorized so solemnly
When you were 16
They were everything
You'd lay in your bed and quietly sing
And while the feeling still rings true
The words are fading, fading into
A clouded view
You read them over and over again
To try to remember what they said back then
And while the feeling still rings true
The words are fading, fading into

The car crashed but everybody was okay
But that don't mean we're gonna have to stay
So c'mon, I'm ready to go when you're done
Let's trash this place before we run
And if we both fall down
Another train will come around
Packed with others getting lost and found
By now we're finishing each other's thoughts
Everyone else seems to want what we've got
But I'm not afraid to say goodbye
As long as someone else has caught my eye
Everyone's a dove when they fall in love
The roses cover up the old debris
Keeping their eyes down
Until they can't ignore the sound
Of all the others getting lost and found
We all have hearts so pure
But some hearts can't endure
The iridescent light of folly's lure
We give in to the sound
Of that old train coming 'round
