You told me, that I was like an angel Told me I was fit to wear a crown So that you could get a thrill You put me on a pedestal And then you let me down, let me down You told me that I'd be wearing diamonds I would have the smartest car in town Made me think that I'm the top And then you let the ladder drop You know you let me down, let me down I walked upon a rainbow I clung onto a star You had me up in heaven That's why I had to fall so far I was even looking for a cottage I was measured for a wedding gown That's how I got cynical You put me on a pinnacle And then you let me down, let me down How you let me down

Laying in bed, stuck in my head Feeling my heart, beat in my chest I don't sleep well, I don't sleep well It's not that we fight, there's something ain't right Used to be close Now we don't know how to move on You don't look at me in the same way And we don't seem to have any good days Anymore, not like before Laying in bed, stuck in my head Is this how it feels when someone just stops to love you? Could I have another dance? Surround me I've been praying for a chance, allow me Just one last minute of romance Before you let me down Tried all I can to stay more than friends Facing the fact We're closer the end of pretending Can't no longer mend it You don't look at me in the same way And we don't seem to have any good days Anymore, not like before Laying in bed, stuck in my head Is this how it feels when someone just stops to love you? Could I have another dance? Surround me I've been praying for a chance, allow me Just one last minute of romance, oh Before you let me down Before you let me down Ooh, ooh, ooh Before you let me down Ooh, ooh Just one last minute of romance, oh Before you let me down Before you let me down, mmm Before you let me down

The air was getting heavy I knew that it was coming So I started up the Chevy And kept the motor running A storm came down upon us And flooded all the rivers Surrounded by piranhas And the doctors who deliver Anything that you require Now the fields are all on fire Calling down the wire La de da de da de da Batten down the hatches Becky Open up the earth and sky Waiting on a natural disaster Sitting out on my back porch Watching storm clouds moving faster Like a natural disaster Hurricane between us I saw it on the TV I went down to Phoenix To make my last CD And nobody got paid Just like the good old days You can waste your life away La de da de da de da Batten down the hatches Becky Open up the earth and sky Waiting on a natural disaster Sitting out on my front porch Watching storm clouds moving faster Like a natural disaster I left Nova Scotia And headed down the coast Tore a strip off Memphis Before I levelled Roanoke I punished Pecos County And headed for Las Cruces Anyone around me Will be covered in my bruises You want something to remember me by You can write my name in the sky Sing La de da La de da de da de da Batten down the hatches Becky Open up the earth and sky Waiting on a natural disaster Sitting out on our front porch Watching storm clouds moving faster I'm a natural disaster I'm a natural disaster

Brothers, where you been? Somewhere off the chart? I don't want to be Out here in the dark Every time I answer No one's at my door I don't want to leave Where we were before Eleven dreams been spinning There's 33 to go I'll find you in my mind In some picture show In close calls with ghost ships At strip malls on bad trips Slow dives through past lives Just ring when you arrive Trying to find you, brothers You're dragonflies at night I dream in colour And futures black and white Tell me did you go? Same place they've always gone? Under everything Over everyone Spinning, spinning Spinning out Spinning, spinning Spinning out Close calls with ghost ships At strip malls on bad trips Through snow drifts and camp fires With tight grips on live wires I'm close now, I'm outside A slow dive through past lives Just ring when you arrive Brothers, where you been? Somewhere off the chart? I don't want to be Out here in the dark

Dirt under your nails From working in the garden Trying to grow a plant With the wind under our sails You and me we're getting started Don't tell me that you can't Ice cold knuckles And ice cold feet Where the asphalt buckles And they crack the concrete Number one road I know you too well Don't do what you're told Don't break your spell Lonely love I rest my case You've been gone too long To come back to this place Lonely love This heavy heart is gonna hitchhike The day I need a photograph To remember what you look like I could feel resistance Coming down the wire But I would go the distance Rolling on these four black tires On the number one road Through the thick and the thin I will do what I'm told Just let it begin Lonely love I rest my case You've been gone too long To come back to this place Lonely love This heavy heart is gonna hitchhike The day I need a photograph To remember what you look like The day I need a photograph To remember what you look like The day I need a photograph To remember what you look like The day I need a photograph To remember what you look like The day I need a photograph To remember what you look like

This is your number, it's all I've got This is me standing in a parking lot This the movie that never got made This is my heart, and it's a grenade Pulling the pin, running for cover In the middle of the night Pick up the phone, I wanna come over Back in the day, walking your way You read my mind, you knew what I'd say Foot in my mouth, cat got my tongue Tripping on clichés and coming undone Holding your hand, running for cover In the middle of the night Tell me your name Can I come over? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down a dead end street I would live life blind, I would tell you lies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes After the dance, after the whiskey After you left, before you kissed me Too much to drink, stumbling home Nobody there when the lights came on Cutting my losses, counting my blessings In the middle of the night Can I come over? Are you undressing? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down a dead end street I would live life blind, I would tell you lies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes Is this the last of the signals you're sending? Are we rolling the credits? Is this the ending? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down the darkest street I would live life blind under starless skies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes You are in my head when I close my eyes This is your number, it's all I've got This is me standing in a parking lot

In late September I drove across the prairies The mountains behind me and the ocean beyond This country's a coal mine and I'm a canary Turn out the headlights and the radio on I remember the words I forget the tune The light of the moon, the light of the moon Under the stars you stagger and swoon The light of the moon, the light of the moon Sunrise, oh sunrise will you wait for me? Don't come too soon through night's deep abyss Flirt with the waitress in Sault Ste Marie Hear music and voices through static and hiss I remember the words I forget the tune The light of the moon, the light of the moon Under the stars you stagger and swoon The light of the moon, the light of the moon The light of the moon, the light of the moon Light of the moon, light of the moon
