unknown

A man in my shoes runs a light
All the papers lie tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day

Angels fall like rain
And love, is all of heaven way
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade
The ghost in you she don't fade away

The race is on, i'm on your side
But hearing you my engines died
I'm in the mood for you
Or for running away

All the stars come down in you
But love, love, love you cant give it away
Inside you the time moves and she dont fade
The ghost in you she dont fade
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade away
Dont you know she don't fade

Dont you go it makes no sense
And all these talking supermen
Just take away the time just to get it away
Aint it just like the rain
Cause love, love, love, love is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves and she dont fade
The ghost in you she don't fade away

Inside you the time moves and she dont fade away
The ghost in you she don't fade

A man in my shoes runs a light
But all the papers lie tonight
Falling over you is the news of the day
And love will not fade away
And love love love will not fade away

In the still water she lies down
Shaking in the press of sunlight
We rolled into lexington
She shakes off the drop of daylight
Water beading up her chest
Bleeding down between her knees
Rivers in kentucky flow
Between the bluegrass wavy seas
But oh, margery
Twists the knife once more inside of me

Breathless with anticipation
Baited breathers set their hooks
Tuck their heads beneath the high grass
And lie and wait beside the brooks

For instance? pushing slowly through
Frustration leading back along
The alleys of a childhood
Will not release us willingly

But oh, margery
Sticks the knife in while i coundn't the sea

Dust me off and shut me down
And dream of where i haven't been
Close the door inside my heart
Stuck in the south atlantic wind

I have hollow eyes
Haunting only to myself
Even so, i can't stop calling
This great big hollows in my self

I took the train form california
To the far side of the continent
Woke up in kentucky
Where a wedding was about to end

I looked up at anna
She turned back to look at me
It's best to kill the ones that matter
Render blind the ones who see

But oh, margery
Takes the blade and walks away from me
Oh, margery
Love like blood is pouring out of me
Oh, margery
My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby
Oh, i can't shut it in
It's got far too many doors to block the wind
Oh, i can't shut it in
It's got far too many doors to block the wind

Jumpin jesus my oh my

And his child on a house boat
Yea he likes sunflowers and big picture frames and vangoes

Jumpin jesus why oh why
Take the time to get inside
To get inside get inside get inside get inside get inside
Na na na na na na na na
Lala la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la laaaaa laaaa laaaa

well, i hear mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And i'm there with her in ensenada
And i'm here in echo park

Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think i'm sinking down...
And i'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well i'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think i'm sinking down...
And i'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Well i pawned my smith corona
And i went to meet my man
He hangs out down on alvarado street
At the pioneer chicken stand

Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think i'm sinking down
And i'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

Carmelita, hold me tighter
I think i'm sinking down
And i'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town

if anything it should have been a better thing
From underneath you staring at the ceiling
There's another world of chocoloate bars and baseball cards
That hides inside of all this tension that i'm feeling

Yeah it's all inside of you.
It was all inside of you.

Surprise, surprise.
I miss your hair, you miss my eyes
All all this solitude is my confidence eroding.
So we slide inside of someone's mouth and someone's eyes
Until, there's the sound of something intimate exploding.

It was all inside of you.

I wish that i was anesthized and sterilized
Then i wouldnt have this evidence congealing.
Surprise, surprise.
Another pair of lips and eyes.
And that is the consquence of actually feeling.

It was all inside of you.

Albert's always sincere, he's a sensivitive type
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked
Better think of nothing, then are we anything?
Is it better to be better than to be anything?

And albert's vision is blooming uncontrolled
All his wings are slowly sinking

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again

Einstein's down on the beach staring into the sand
Cause everything he believes in is shattered
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway-ay
We all get burned as:

One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again

Albert's waiting in the sun
On a field american
For the cause of some inflated form of hit and run

One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again

Albert's fallen on the sun
Cracked his head wide open

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, fallin, fallin

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again

No never be together again
No no never never never again, uh huh
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway

Heard my lisa say
"i can't believe you could leave me looking this way."
When ever music plays... i smile and i can't feel anything
All i want to say.. is everything's all right and i'm ok

Heard my lisa today
"say he wants to paints the same me every single day"
"what's wrong with him anyway?"
Cuz sometimes i can't feel anything
All i want to say.. is everything's all right and i'm ok..i'm ok

I see my body mapped before me.. and a flying coffin through the sky
The same things after for me...we'll hang there waiting for me
Upon a wall outside of me yeah

Heard my lisa say
"god blesses the same things every single day."
How'd he miss me anyway? 7 days and i can't feel anything

All i want to say.. is everything's all right and i'm ok
All i want to say.. is everything's all right and i'm ok (7x)

What i feel, i can't say
But my love is there for you anytime of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then i'll try my best to make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am i without you, by my side

What i know, i can do
If i give my love now to everyone like you
But if it's not love that you need
Then i'll try my best to make ev'rything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am i without you, by my side
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am i without you, by my side

What i feel, i can't say
But my love is there for you any time of day
But if it's not love that you need
Then i'll try my best to make everything succeed

Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am i without you, by my side
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am i without you, by my side
What is my life without your love
Tell me, who am i without you, by my side
(fade:)
Oh tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me who am i without you by my side

She said hey
Smoke at three
Georgia moonlight
It's three a.m.
I've been driving all night
Got a funny air
Red-brown hair
In the porch light
She said 'we're open all night
So won't you come inside
It's gonna be alright'

She said child
I said i'm a little bit unstable
She said 'honey, i will help you if i'm able
There's a bottle of relief on the table
And we're open all night
So won't you come inside
It's gonna be alright'

She said 'i was born the year the rockets landed
Circa 1969 and i got stranded
Yeah, but the comet's getting close
And i can't stand it.'
She said 'we're open all night
So won't you come inside
It's gonna be alright'

She said hey
Smoke at three
Georgia moonlight
It's eight a.m.
I've been drinking all night
And there is nothing i will not do to make it alright
She said 'we're open all night
So won't you come inside
It's gonna be alright'

She's closing all the shades
She finds the daylight just a little freighting
She pulls the peddles overhead each day
But she's opening her business is blooming nightly
And every time it does it gets me tazy
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and i just go crazy
The greening of americas progressing smoothly
Cuz she's choosing me

It's later then i said
And all the worlds a shade of black and purple
Everybody else has gone to bed
But when she makes me happy i just fly in circles

And every time she does i just get teary
The color of head changing everyday
A little puff of wind and she's always near me
The greening of america is progressing nicely
It's all right with me

Ba ba ba ba na na na na na etc.

If there's another life, and if get to chose i'd like
To be a daisy
I'll stay up waiting for my dusky wife
To open and get high with just my jasmine baby

And every time she does it gets me crazy
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and i just get crazy
The greening of americas progressing nicely
It's all right with me-every time she does, just get teary
The color of her head changing every day
A little breath of wind and she's always near me
The greening of americas progressing smoothly
Cuz she's choosing me

Mary jane says it's all right
She's just around the corner from the main light.
Any day now, it's all right
She's standing on the precipice of big time.

And i know i'm a little uptight,
I've got to go before the sun shines.
We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life,
We need a little good time.

It's not far from here,
Mary comes and goes.
Drifting through the scenery of the shallow days below,
That is anybody knows.

You follow trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon.
Yeah well i saw mary jane dragged her shadow down the tracks,
Stare off in the distance.

It's not far from here,
Mary waves hello.
Smiling though she's sinking in the shallow days below,
I can't find a way out of here.

Out on the road again,
I'm much, much too concerned about mary jane.
I'm all alone again,
I like what she said, not what it means.
She leaves me drowning through the shallow days, down below.

You know i heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall
The sun is sinking lower.
People staring, mary jane humming softly to herself,
Nobody really knows her.
Any day now it's all right,
She tells herself that this will be the last time.
Mary jane pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all her
Freetime.

Not too far from here,
Mary turns to go.
Smiling while the waltz begins, dancing down the road

Hey hey mr. freedom,
What are we supposed to think?
'cause i'm a very tiny person and it worries me.
I'm all alone again,
I like what she says, not what it means.
She leaves me drowning in the shallow days way down below.

"i'm sorry", she said,
"i know it's not the kind of thing you want."
I'm falling, falling down.
"i'm sorry", she said.
"i know i'm not the kind of girl you want."
We're falling, falling, falling, falling down.

I can hardly stand the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray.
Lying cold the way you left them,
But at least your lips caressed them
While you packed.
Or the lip print o a half-filled cup
Of coffee that you poured
And didn't drink.
But at least you thought you wanted it
Which is so much more than i can say for me.

Refrain

It's been a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there.
The lawn could stand another mowing
It's funny, i don't even care
But as you turned and walked away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing i know to say
Was what a good year for the roses

After three full years of marriage
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talking,
Is there's so little left to say that we haven't said
While a million thoughts go racing through my mind
I guess i haven't said a word
From the bedroom, the familiar sound
Of our one baby's crying goes unheard

I woke up wednesday morning
Staring at the ceiling
Hoping for deliverance
From the distances in you.


This room feels like an oven
Somewhere south of nowhere
And north of nothing.


I'm barely out of tuesday
Seen seven hours of wednesday
I guess i've found new friends
Maybe you could leave the light on for me.


Can't you see her
Waiting there down by the sea?
There's a light on,
But the lock's in the door for me
If you see me coming home,
Turn me away.
Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday.


You get me at a distance.
Fifty-two weeks later,
They're still staying.
Standing in my basement.
Making my way
Waiting for the telphone
To deliver me away.


I left from minnesota
Where the winter's getting colder
Keep the locks changing
Maybe you could leave the light on for me.
Can't you see her waiting there down by the sea?
[?]
[?]
If you see me coming home,
Turn me away.
Everybody tries to go back somewhere someday.


The farthest distance
Getting around you to me
What's the point of all this patience?
It's not your nature
To just keep what you need.
You got some pictures of me.


I woke up wednesday morning,
Sometime wednesday evening,
Hoping for a piece of something easy to believe.
When you live out on the border
Of everything and nothing
There's nothing but waking and dreaming.
I'm barely out of tuesday.
There's no one to receive me,
And nothing is changing.
Maybe you could leave the light on for me.


Can't you see her
Waiting there down by the sea?
There's a light on,
But there's nobody there for me.
If you see me coming home
Turn me away
'cause everybody tries to go back somewhere someday.
