Your eyes are just like black spiders Your hair and dress in ribbons Babycakes In despair or incoherent, nothing in between China white, my bride tonight Smiling on the tiles Bring that minute back We never get so close as when The sunward flight begins I share it all with you Powder blue, oh Stumble through the crowds together They're trying to ignore us That's okay I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin Sallow-skinned, starry-eyed Blessed in our sin Bring that minute back We never get so close to death, makes you so alive I share it all with you Powder blue, oh Yeah, yeah Hey, yeah Hey, yeah Bring that minute back We'll never get so close as when the sunward flight begins I share it all with you Powder blue, ohh

I was gone with the self of the day, gone With the self of the day, gone With the self of the day, gone Gone, gone, gone I was gone I'm back, where are we goin'? Seem to get tired of the mornin' dawn With a basin on my head I'm missin' all that I used to know, then I get the kids to go, and I get Up on with certain dread And when I see the kissing down below Easy life, I get right I was gone with the self of the day, gone With the self of the day, gone With the self of the day, gone Gone, gone, gone I was gone I get dropped from where I belong I take my pills and I get in the mood and I Take five to get it to load in Even in the place And I get my jeans on right And sit in the rows and Inside I live in a cage and I Peek out and summon the code and I Enter the lake to face what I'm cagin' Gone with the self of the day, gone With the self of the day, gone With the self of the day, gone Gone, gone, gone I was gone She gave me sleeping powder I was gone Gone, gone, gone Ahh! I was gone with the self of the day, gone With the self of the day, gone With the self of the day, gone Gone, gone, gone, gone I was gone

All inside our Amsterdam she hides Watery-eyed That howling wind, she's waving hi Her other hand's in mine Oh, oh silhouette She's growing tall and fine She's got my back She'll follow me down every street No matter what my crime All inside our Amsterdam she flies Hoarding the kites That howling wind, she'll take everything But she's easy on the eyes Churches and trains They all look the same to me now They shoot you some place While we ache to come home somehow

Our love was untested, never rested Slipping through our city fingers Always dressed up, but never picked up Watch every headlight cruising past our door Oh oh oh Who's gonna pick us up? Oh oh oh The night is starting to ache Oh oh oh Who's holding the reins? Oh oh oh And that sonar satellite that sings to us in Universe We're just hard stone but so easily broken Like crumbling ruins off the coast of Spain Oh oh oh I'll keep watch tonight Oh oh oh When the coyote come Oh oh oh I'll be your watchman Oh oh oh While they're just flashes They're just flashes So take me however I seem to be, haunted I know Our love got lost out there Arm in arm, we'll light our torches And search the fields behind the houses Oh oh oh Our love is hungry and cold Oh oh oh Here in the first snow Oh oh oh Leave a trail of stones Oh oh oh So we can make it back Oh oh oh Our love is hungry and cold Oh oh oh Our love is hungry Oh oh oh Our love is hungry and cold Oh oh oh Mm hm hmm Oh oh oh Our love is hungry Oh oh oh Our love is hungry Oh oh oh

Fox runs with the lightning Worked its way into an open field Come midnight, we'll all be dreaming It's the owl who owns the evening Mmmm Mmmm Remember when the engine quit? My head against the steering wheel You sparked up, began to grin You and all your silver linings Oooh Oooh Desert flowers wait for rain Scattered seeds along the plains Storms will swell, the days will fly I'll love you like the passing time Mmmm Mmmm There's hissing in the underbrush Let's try and not talk too much Promise I won't say a thing It's thе owl who owns the evening Mmmm Mmmm

You take the big one And i'll take his brother Let's get this over with 'Cause i'm late for work Do you remember when we were young The swing sets, the costumes The dirt in the sun I sold all my baseball cards to buy me some clothes That's how it goes That's how it goes, and that's how it goes And i keep on thinking It's time to move on Move out to the city so huge Meet me some people Seems these old hills They keep on calling The clouds 'round here talk Man, i been listening I sold all these clothes to buy me this land I'm sorta happy most of the time Most of the time Been riding lots of trains The same ones as you How come you get to talk to everybody I'm just looking out my window at the night view You keep on pointing out my halo Your big pointy finger The six-fingered hand I sold all this land To buy me some dreams Just like those movies we played when we were kids Now we're just liars Now we're just liars Now we're just liars Now we're just liars Now we're just liars Now we're just liars Now we're just liars Now we're just liars

Pictures watch from the sidewalk past Poems go flying in the tracks All we ever got left is a pile of things I visit you with nothing burning Hidden heart, stomach churning Circled in the words like the vultures Your mouth becomes a dictionary Words without a holy theory You're the only one on the page Look it up to find my heart Tear that old shit apart Till you find the words to sum me up I don't need no alibis You sit me down here and you cry The music man sings his mystery songs He tries to put his finger on There's things unfelt that he's always longed to feel The things we all are destined to loose While I seek out that crooked muse You stole my heart and filled it up with blues I've been waiting for you and me to watch this world from a windows seat Look down there, all them tiny creatures running crazy And I've been here on this precipice And I picked apart anything I bring So we can toss our suitcase into the wind at last We've all the merry things we needed It's time like this we remember to believe Let it roll, let it ride, let it ride on me Lay me down here in your field They know just, what they steal
