Somewhere it went south tonight Desire turned to change The same road that led you here Is leading you astray You've fallen off the face of the world You can't explain When your friends feel more like echoes You don't hear back from again Deep in the distance, I know you'll hear this Where are you gonna go When your wildfire heart burns out And no one cares anymore? Another face in the cards We call this time Getting lost in the fold I'll tell you something The others won't It took a thousand nights To get to hold The heroes breathe like villains If you can get close enough You buy the suit they're wearing And you become the one you've judged But deep in the distance, I know you hear this Where are you gonna go When your wildfire heart burns out And no one cares anymore? Another face in the cards We call this time Getting lost in the fold I'll tell you something The others won't It took a thousand nights To get to hold You're born afraid Of the hell you raised Can't realize you were loved You can't hear those words deserved You can't hear the song unsung But deep in the distance, I hope you hear this Where are you gonna go When your wildfire heart burns out And no one cares anymore? Another face in the cards We call this time Getting lost in the fold I'll tell you something The others won't It took a thousand nights To get to hold To get to hold...

One day down and life to go Looks like you and me, we've lost all control Major Tom is moving on And the space left in between us Is the place where we belong And who would've thought that we would go Falling off the face of the world while it moves on? No one says 'you told me so' What if everything we live for comes down to skin and bone? What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if fear is just a ghost? It's more scared of us than the closet we keep closed If every day could never end Do we live for happiness? Feel the one last kiss What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story But I'm going to tell it again So many other people try to tell the tale Not one of them knows the end It was a junk-house in South Carolina Held a boy the age of ten Along with his older brother Billy And their mother and her boyfriend Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos That were given to him when he was young And a drunk temper that was easy to lose And thank God he didn't own a gun Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck Took a minute to open his eyes He took a peep into the back of the house And found himself a big surprise He didn't see his brother, but there was his mother With her red-headed head in her hands While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest Trying to choke the man Billy looked up from the window to the truck Threw up, and had to struggle to stand He saw that rednecked bastard with a hammer Turn the priest into a shell of a man The priest was putting up the fight of his life But he was old and he was bound to lose The boyfriend hit as hard as he could And knocked the priest right down to his shoes Well, now Billy knew but never actually met The preacher lying there in the room He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy!" Then he knew what he was gonna do Billy got up enough courage to get up And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find It was a cold, glass bottle of milk That got delivered every morning at nine Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and He turned around and put the lock on the door He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then He took a step toward the man on the ground From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!" And Billy said, "Not 'til I know what this is all about!" "Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama" But Billy knew just who was starting the drama So Billy took dead aim at his face And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the Boyfriend fell down dead for good Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?" His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and Pulled out an envelope filled with money "Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears "He's been paying all the bills for years!" "Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees And put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee!" Just then, his little brother came in Holding the milkman's hat and a bottle of gin, singing La la la la, la la la la, yeah... La la la, la la la... La la la la, la la la la, yeah... La la la, la la la... La la la la, la la la la, yeah... La la la, la la la... La la la la, la la la la, yeah... La la la, la la la... Well now you heard another side to the story But you wanna know how it ends? If you must know the truth about the tale Go and ask the milkman

Down upon your hands and knees Underneath the poplar trees Digging through the sticks and stones Looking for store bought bones Waiting on the rising sun Clutching at your holstered gun Praying on a shooting star That I can be wherever you are ... Looking through a telescope Maybe there's a sign of hope Leaving everything behind Stirring a store bought mind Sitting at the edge of the seat Wishing you were here by me Sifting through the mud and the bricks Looking for a store bought fix ... You can't buy what you can't find What you can't buy, what you find What you can't buy, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can Buy what you find, what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can You can't buy what you can't find, what you can

Your blue veins When I was surrounded by the world You were the only one who came And you were the only one astounded Which kept me grounded As the other girls thrashed my very name Then I looked over just in time To see her smiling back at me And saying everything's okay As long as you're inside my blue veins Your blue veins Yeah, and the feeling that you gave me No matter what I do or where I go It always will remain And those who would enslave me To get to me, must get past you and will have no luck 'Cause you'll protect me from all pain It's true, you know what The most beautiful Yeah, the most beautiful thing 'Cause anything else can't compare Must be the blood that's running through your blue veins Your blue veins Think it's gonna rain Your blue veins And I know you won't deceive me Like the rest, and there's nothing you need to explain You're always the first one to believe me When I say to you, "Girl, I think it's gonna rain" But I could be wrong Yeah, but all of these things All these things, they're all truly nice But it ain't nothing, that ain't nothing compared to the love That's running through your little blue veins Your blue veins
