Ryan Adams : Big Colours

I'm so sorry but it's time to go And we both know I'm only dreaming in big colors now Live in a world that isn't upside down So, where do we go? Where do we go from here? Where do we go? Where do we go from here? Since I've known you, all the things we've seen And the places we've been are gone I'm just dreaming in big colors now Loading my brushes with this love I've found So, where do we go? Where do we go from here? Where do we go? Where do we go from here? Where do we go? No reason to know We just go up The brightest colors always rising to the top With no fear and only hope Where do we go? Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? The brightest colors always rising to the top

Watch that sun, it rises over the beach Over the houses there Watch that sun, it rises over the people Those people I think I understand that it's nice to escape But can your mind really clear it's thoughts Of what's actually happening out there? Hmm, I wouldn't know I always got my eye on my back It's just this thing that I do, I don't know I don't pretend I know what it's like To live a normal life I just do my bit and carry myself Out of my place when it's night It isn't working for me And I know, I know when to go I know when to leave The hotel bar is closed The sign on the door of my mind Says, "Do Not Disturb Anymore" The hotel bar is closed The sign on the door of my mind Says, "Do Not Disturb Anymore" My heart, my heart My heart is closed My heart My heart's all packed up and ready to go Watch that sun, it rises in my soul Watch that sun, it rises till it falls Watch that sun, it rises in my soul Watch that sun, it rises till it falls

Light shines down from the windows of your house The rain passes lightly Pink tangerine that lives on your wall Spins your room slightly Your eyes are open It's almost morning I daydream your voice It echoes through the walls In my mind, your voice ain't mine It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet It is so quiet, it's loud And the night drags on We finish drinks sideways Telephone rings, rattles once and stops It hangs up while you're dreaming My eyes are open now Outside it's pouring I daydream your voice It echoes through the halls In my mind, racing through the crowd I hear your voice say mine It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet that it's loud It is so quiet, it's loud It is so quiet, it's loud So quiet, it's loud It is so quiet, it's loud

Oldham streets built to bruise Freckled face and a pair of shuffling shoes Hot pink and red, rain and booze Running fast past the cotton mill crews Darkness creeps through the halls Till the walls come tumbling down You hold my hand, I can tell Heart beats fast through the streets downtown I would throw it all away and choose If I could have been born three blocks from you And we burn this city to the ground Manchester ruins like a ghost With its rattling chains and it moans Heron mill, bricks and lead Terraced homes hot pink and red I would throw it all away and choose If I could have been born three blocks from you Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh From you ooh ooh And we burn this city to the ground And we burn this city to the ground And we burn this city to the ground To the ground To the ground

What am I when I'm not you and I? When I'm the rain swell clouding the seaside? Invisible room with no elephant made out of tears to cry Bull in a china shop thrashing inside of the gears And the water is tears flooding a room full of lies What am I? What am I? What are we when we're not you and me? When it's not happening when we're asleep at the movies? Canary in the coal mine, the poison is slow, nobody dies I forgot to let go under the moon What are we? What are you? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I when I'm not you and I? When I'm the rain swell clouding the seaside?

Oh pretty baby, when you say my name Kick off my shoes inside of my head Feel my shadow, how it says your name Walkin' like a rollercoaster made of sin Wanna make you scream, wanna make you shout Hands all shaking and the power is out Run your fingers through my hair Engine's overheating, gasoline in the air Cadillac's wagon ain't got no soul Frame born of fire and out of control Listen to the motor scream and shout Hands all shaking and the power is out

Guitar Solo

Headlights shining on a broken road Sun's goin' down baby, I gotta get home Your wheels are spinning underneath my thighs Wanna taste your tongue, look me in the eyes Wanna make you scream, wanna hear you shout Hands all shaking and the power is out Burning my hands in the fire Burning my eyes in the fire I'm burning up, I'm burning up I'm burning up, I'm burning up in the fire I said oh pretty baby, when you say my name Kick off my shoes inside of my head Feel my shadow, how it says your name Walking like a rollercoaster made of sin Wanna make you scream, wanna make you shout Hands all shaking and the power is out Hands all shaking and the power is out

I'm superstitious and I lie I think about someone too much I wonder if it helps me so much And I don't hear the words, your name still hurts to touch But I know myself too well I miss you so bad, so bad, so bad, so what? I know myself too well I stay inside these rooms, inside this never-ending hotel I am a sight for blinded eyes I joke and cough over the punchlines No one is here to respond So I just wait for more noise from the ceiling fans But I know myself too well I miss you so bad, so bad, so bad, so what? Tough luck kid, right I know this loneliness, I did this to myself Tonight I will try to dream myself away In an endless ocean without effort I can drain The battleship's lost in the storm with your name As I sink and leave the keys into your door I miss you so bad, so bad, so what? I miss you so bad, so bad, so what? I miss you so bad, so bad, so what? What do you do with a dream when it gets stuck? I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I surrender I give up

If the lights could lead you here, would you go? If your arms were strong enough to hold me dear, would you let go? If the stars were out tonight, how would we know? Falling through the leaves of last season's clothes Say what you want to, carry what you can If you were alone, could you walk, would you stand? Under the lights shining in your eyes And everybody waiting for you alone in the spotlight Minus the tears and the heartache and the lies Hearts racing when it's showtime But you just take your time If a walk could make us know Would you stand in line while mine and held another's? Or would your fingers let go? Or could you toe the line in hopes of a tomorrow? Say what you want to, carry what you can If you were alone, could you walk, would you stand? Under the lights flashing in your eyes? And everybody waiting for you alone in the spotlight? Minus the tears and the heartache and the lies Hearts racing when it's showtime But you just take your time It's showtime But you just take your time

Instrumental Break

Say what you want to, carry what you can If you were alone, could you walk, would you stand? Under the lights flashing in your eyes? And everyone was waiting for you alone in the spotlight Minus the tears and the heartache and the lies Hearts racing when it's showtime But you just take your time Hearts racing when it's showtime But you just take your time

Operator's on the phone, says I can't be trusted That's why you left me alone, it was broke and now it's busted A little sunshine would do but outside it's disgusting It's barely making a sound, my heart is beating so loud I feel the sinking in my bones I feel the pressure Were you in it for the love? Or were you, were you in it for the pleasure? It's late July and the sky's so grey Everyone's in bed for a month in LA The house is so quiet, it's barely making a sound My hands are shaking, my heart is beating so loud I feel this aching in my bones I feel the pressure Were you in it for the love? Or was it a game? Were you just in it for the pleasure? I dive into the pool, the pool was empty There ain't no water now, my bones feel like an ash cloud All the minuses and pluses, I try to write 'em down It doesn't matter now, my heart is beating so loud I feel this aching in my bones I feel the pressure Were you in it for the love? Or were you just in it for the pleasure? I lie to myself so I can stay sane A list of scratched out numbers next to names And I'm runnin' out of space It goes on forever I feel the pain I feel the pressure What was it anyway? Do you remember my name? Or was it just a game? Was it just a game? Were you just in it for the pleasure?

When we fall into the fire Flames will burn higher and higher Moon is full, thunder and lightning The engine roars, burnin' up the tires Funny we don't get it down anymore Once we were wild like the summertime storms So come on baby, let's just run The car's waiting outside Let's burn a hole into the middle of the line So come on The car's waiting outside We'll disappear without a trace Let's burn a hole into the middle of the line Wheels spin 'round but they're preaching to the choir Rockin' and rollin', burning with desire Windows down, they laugh and I'm smiling Radio's blasting, blurring like the telephone wires Funny we don't get it down anymore Once we were wild like the summertime storms So come on baby, let's just run The car's waiting outside Let's burn a hole into the middle of the line So come on The car's waiting outside We'll disappear without a trace Let's burn a hole into the middle of the line Down the middle of the line Down the middle of the line

When you close your eyes Is it her you're thinking of? Is she on your mind When the sleep you need won't come? When you close your eyes Wandering the streets in vain You dream in the summer rain In the summer rain You hold her once again When you fall asleep Is she waiting there for you? When you close your eyes And you lose your vital signs Is it her that's on your mind? Wandering the streets in vain You dream in the summer rain In the summer rain In the summer rain The summer rain She's so far away Her hand's slipping away The summer rain In the summer rain You hold her once again You hold her once again In the summer rain
