| You sold it for parts, broken up for anybody that wants it A repair job, I'm too old to be king, I didn't ask for a thing Can you feel my heart? It's beating like it was going to be free You tossed me aside, it's only funny 'cause I'll never be yours, and you'll never be mine I was wrong I didn't know how to let go I was too dizzy and too slow I only wanted to love you And to get closer to the rollercoaster in my mind The rollercoaster in my mind, in my mind |

When the night is blue and the storms have gone May the love shine its light on you Life is never long or as sweet and strong As forever to justify how true How I feel right now about you I could feel the heat of the summer in my veins Roarin' down the tracks of the nighttime trains Comin' down the tracks of the depots and plains Emergency lights casting shadows in the swamp In the blue blue blue of the night In the blue blue blue of the night Of the night Of the night When the night is calm and the light still on In the window of house, I see you Although I will be gone, chains will rattle on Down the corridors of the things we didn't do Back up against the wall where I first met you I could feel the heat of the summer in my veins Roarin' down the tracks of the nighttime trains Comin' down the tracks of the depots and plains Emergency lights casting shadows into the swamp In the blue blue blue of the night In the blue blue blue of the night In the night In the night

I lay awake at night and I cannot sleep I feel the darkness and the walls around me Spinning like a merry-go-round in my head, in my head I can't remember anything that you said That you said I lie awake at night and I see the sky It drenches fire so there's love in your eyes Spinning like a merry-go-round in my head, in my head I can't remember anything that you said Spinning like a merry-go-round in my head, in my head I can't remember anything that you said I can't remember anything that you said I can't remember, I can't remember Spinning like a merry-go-round in my head, in my head I can't remember anything that you said Spinning like a merry-go-round in my head, in my head I can't remember anything that you said

I really had a nice time Can I walk you home? These are the days I feel most alone These are the days, these are the days I really had such a wonderful night With you by my side These are the days I feel lonely inside I feel lonely inside I lost a part of you, a part of you I really loved being part of you A part of you and me Something's missing Something's missing Something's missing Something's missing I really had such a beautiful time I, I, I really had such a beautiful time By your side But something's missing Something's missing

Put my head into my hands Like nobody understands No one did and somehow I met you Watching TV after dark Walking Charlie in the park Laughing at me in some restaurant I don't know how somebody loves me I don't know why you even do I don't know how I ever survived without you All I ever do is cause you trouble And I got all these things to work through It's a mean, old world and life is tough Every day it's all too much Then I see your face come shining through Holding hands in long, black robes Movies, popcorn, nose to nose Everything makes sense when I'm with her I love my Doylestown girl Love my Doylestown girl Love my Doylestown girl Love my Doylestown girl

Romeo looks down and sees Juliet Nodding off in the alley with a lit cigarette Looks like her hair caught on fire for a sec Streets full of cop cars that somebody wrecked Juliet looks up and sees Romeo In her camouflage pants and dirty poncho Extending her arm, she flips him the bird Blows him a kiss, and winks as she turns Then like the sound of thundering clouds on the mountain Bullets and shells where Juliet fell behind the hotel in the garbage Romeo's tears fell where he stood Her body went limp, bricks mixed with her blood The detective looked up and saw Romeo He just nodded his head like to tell him to go Approaching her body with guns drawn, one said "Stay alert, confirm that the suspect is dead" When they got close, she sat up and said "Fuck you!", then pulled the pin on the grenades instead Then like the sound of thundering clouds on the mountain side Fire's ablaze where Juliet laid behind the hotel in the garbage pile Since then nobody's seen Romeo Found the diamond bags empty on a pier by the boats Put your ear to the wind and you'll hear the sound Of Puerto Morelos where he settled down Just like the sound of thundering clouds on a mountain Bullets and shells where Juliet fell behind the hotel in the garbage Romeo looks down and sees Juliet Nodding off in the alley with a lit cigarette Looks like her hair caught on fire for a sec Street's full of cop cars that somebody wrecked

Another day, another night The water's deep, the water's wide Broken ocean and a broken sky Hands are shaking, baby, and the mountain cries Why is it so brutal starting again? All fire and no heat, no wind It's all bingo numbers and nobody wins It isn't anything, then it is It isn't anything, then it is We are wild, I don't remember anything Back against the wall, always in danger Never to be special again, it was just a dream and I went Another day, another night spent It's all bingo numbers, nobody wins Nobody wins It isn't anything, then it is It isn't anything, then it is It isn't anything Then it is Ooh ooh It isn't anything, then it is

It's raining in LA and I don't wanna lose again On just one hand I can count my friends At the stoplight on the street Hear your voice like it's on repeat All the cars in a line Black limousine, suit and tie Years and years of making enemies and now my worst one is time When I look back on my life You will still be the best thing that ever happened to me And on the day I die The very last thing I will think is how you used to Look at me and smile It's raining in LA, it's like these people learn how to drive Covered in sweat and partially blind Through the canyon, Cahuenga and Vine Silver in my hair in a shiny line All the cars in a row None of them ever go Years and years I've looked back and no real way to let go When I look back at my life You will still be the best thing that ever happened to me And on the day that I die The very last thing I will think is how you used to Look at me and smile And I'm looking back on my life You will still be the best thing that ever happened to me And on the day that I die The very last thing I will think is how you used to Look at me and smile Look at me and smile

Remember that day the car pulled up and I was ready to go I should've said, "Just let me out, I wanna go home" I'm sitting here, it's 2 AM and I am 41 And I feel just like a bad cliche that you drunken mumble anyway Poor connection, half my life is gone Bad reception, it'll never let you go Poor connection, half my life is gone I will see you someday, you'll be standing with your kids I'll still be somewhere in New York in a basement with my friends Johnny T is laughing, some dumb shit that I said But your best friend knows behind that laugh, you're just sad Poor connection, the phone is almost dead Bad reception and I can still hear what you said No reflection, it's like I'm almost dead But you're this picture taped to the mirror in my head You're the picture taped to the mirror in my head Oh oh Remember that day the car pulled up and I was ready to go I should've said, "Just let me out, I wanna go home" Now I'm sitting here, it's 2 AM and I am 41 And I feel just like a bad cliche that you drunken mumble anyway Poor connection, half my life is gone Bad reception but I'll never let you go No reflection, it's like I'm almost dead You're the picture taped to the mirror in my head You're the picture taped to the mirror in my head You're the picture taped to the mirror in my head You're the picture taped to the mirror in my head

In the meadow where we lay Clouds move across my face And the sun turns orange, orange into grey Like a sliver of the evening sun What was a fire is only glowing some Still here but almost gone Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh I feel so betrayed, I feel so betrayed I feel so betrayed, I feel so afraid In the summer, dogs will run Overheated and barking some Someplace in the yard where we used to play In the meadow, in the heat Helicopters fly above the street Spotlight shining down, sirens and loud screams In a sliver of the evening sun What was a fire is only glowing some Still here, almost gone Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh I feel so betrayed, I feel so betrayed I feel so betrayed, I feel so betrayed I feel so afraid

Instrumental Break

In the shadows of Shady Lane Pink houses all stripped of paint From the salty tears, the ocean turned to rain In a sliver of the evening sun What was a fire is only glowing some Still here, almost gone Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh I feel so betrayed, I feel so betrayed I feel so betrayed, I feel so ashamed

Was it hard for you to walk away from this broken man? I shoulda shook my head, I shoulda said "God damn" I ain't got nothing right now but a pile of regrets And if the darkness is on its way back to me now Leave the porch lights on, maybe I'll find my way back And if the darkness goes, I'm gonna follow my own tracks And I'll run Was it it wrong to question everything when nothing's ever wrong? I shoulda shut my trap, shoulda been thankful for that I ain't got nothin' right now but I ain't looking back And if the darkness is on its way back to me now Leave the porch lights on, I'm gonna find my way back And if the darkness goes, I'm gonna follow my own tracks And I'll run I'm gonna find my way back into your arms I'm gonna drive until I beat that setting sun I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run Was it hard for you to walk away from this broken man? I shoulda shook my head, I shoulda said "God damn" I ain't got nothing right now but a pile of regrets And if the darkness is on its way back to me now Leave the porch lights on, maybe I'll find my way back If the darkness goes, I'm gonna follow my own tracks And I'll run I'm gonna find my way back into your arms I'm gonna find my way I'm gonna find my way I'm gonna find my way

This is your house, it's where you live Now I'm the one who's waiting by the door to let you in I know, I know, I'm supposed to move on To let it go but this is your house Until you come back to me Until I fall asleep You are the greatest thing to happen to me But the plans have changed And just have to live in my heart In my head 'Cause this is your house This is your house Your house Come back to me somehow It's your house It's your house

While you were reading the black Bible in the sun I was half drunk out the window of a moving city bus Wilder than the devil, like a tiger in the brush Louder than an atom bomb that only you could hush Spinning like the Earth and Moon, but never really touched Alone, the ways I wanted to be loved You were not enough While your head was bowed and hands praying to God I was swinging from the chandeliers like some endangered animal Somewhere in New Orleans on the run Like I just won the lottery, with God knows what inside of me Hair a mess and shoelaces undone Of all the ways I wanted you You were not the one While they were teaching you how Moses split the sea I was in an airplane bathroom doing speedballs off the sink High as any angel moving at the speed of sound Someplace over Germany, moving through the clouds Winking back at stewardesses, supplying me with ale Big hooped golden earrings, staying at the same hotel Of all the ways I wanted you to hold me I could not be held While you were waiting for the doctor in the chair I was stoned riding the cyclone at the Onslow County Fair The stars above us sparkled like they didn't pay the bill Smokes behind the haunted house, chugging stolen beers Cotton candy kisses underneath the Ferris wheel Of all the ways you wanted me to feel I could never heal While you were waiting in the depot for the train I was asleep on stolen cargo in the back of someone's plane Halfway back to Florida from Cuba in the rain Low enough to feel the water from the spraying waves Underneath the radar hauling crates of pure cocaine Hung over and laughing high above the Everglades Of all the ways I wanted to be tamed I was just insane While you were waiting in the lobby for your man I was working at the circus as a garbage man Remembering that winter you were in a long black coat I'm at home with the animals, knife at my own throat You hear the bells of freedom, but the chains all just say "nope" If I was the Titanic, you were pink clouds and blue smoke Rising over Hemingway in an old man's fishing boat Of all the things I wanted you to be Of all the things I wish that you were now You were not around You were not around

That wind is cruel, it's howling at the window Noisy as these shadows rattling the pipes I fake a smile but if I don't cuss or throw something I'll be just like this alley I break the bottle in When it's me I'm trying to break Like a thousand little pieces One for every time my heart just aches Like a thousand little pieces One for every time I think of you And my heart still aches Cracks and crumbles into lines Like a lightning bolt scars the skies In the earthquake in my mind The earthquake in my mind I haunt the halls of this empty room I can count the minutes, the hours I'm not yours Swinging in that breeze if my soul was just a ship Pushing me until I'm angry, static roaring way too damn loud And I'm never at ease Like a thousand little pieces One for every time my bones just ache Like a thousand little pieces One for every time I think of you And my heart still aches Cracks and crumbles into lines Like a lightning bolt of the walls of my mind Like an earthquake in my mind Like an earthquake in my mind Like an earthquake in my mind Like an earthquake in my mind Like an earthquake in my mind Like an earthquake in my mind

Somehow I'm just like Dad Bottles up all the things we said Bottles all the things he keeps inside Running away when there's nowhere to hide What's haunted in his mind? Hold me together when I'm wasting too much time, baby Might be forever but if we just take our time, maybe When we develop all the Polaroids we like It'll be just like that photo album, be just like that photo album I had learned to live without Your father showed me when you were just an apple in his eye An apple in his eye Under the moonlight Somehow I can't let go Get into the car and I just go Listen to the engine as the fires glow Running anywhere, there's nowhere to go But someplace in my mind Hold me together if I'm wasting too much time, baby Might be forever but if we just take our time, maybe When we develop all those Polaroids we like It'll be just like that photo album, be just like that photo album I have learned to live without them Your father showed me when you were just an apple in his eye You were just an apple in his eye Under the moonlight Under the moonlight Under the moonlight

As usual, we're losers Feel so bitter and sick in our own hearts That we choose what we know We're too scared to use We're gonna win someday, win someday, win someday, win someday And everybody cruel to us is gonna pay Everybody cruel to us is gonna pay We're just losers today We're just losers today It's casual as usual Everything that feels so bad, feels natural We flatter ourselves like it matters 'Cause we're gonna win someday, win someday, win someday, win someday Win someday, win someday, win someday, win someday And everybody's gonna pay And everybody's gonna pay We're just losers Just losers today

When I was blind, you lead me to safety When I couldn't speak, you listened to me anyway When I was lost, you told me I would be OK My heart was like a weapon you disarmed I was lost in the dark and I heard you call my name And I will never be the same Lost someplace in your arms and I wanna stay This heaven is so blue My heaven, my moon When you get scared, I will keep you beside me When you don't know, I will wait for you silently If you could know what my heart does inside of me When I say something that makes you smile I remember how it feels to be alive And I will never be the same Lost someplace in your arms and I wanna stay This heaven is so blue My heaven, my moon This heaven is so blue My heaven, my moon

Guitar Solo

I will never be the same Lost someplace in your arms and I wanna stay This heaven is so blue My heaven, my moon My heaven, my moon My heaven, my moon My moon

Theo is dreaming and building a home in the clouds Where he'll lay besides me in blankets warm, just out of the dryer I recite the lines of the movie, we watch it in perfect time Bill Murray is talking and it's Ghost Busters, everything is fine And every day feels good and impossibly long I'm gonna miss my Theo for the rest of my life When he's gone When he's gone Oh, when he's gone Oh, when he's gone Oh, when he's gone

Of all the colors in the world My favorite one is pearl And the lights they know us best When we are off our heads In the waves of golden sun Across the avenue that I am walking on And the lights they are all up above They will know our love They will know our love They will know our love They will know our love They will know They will know

Instrumental Break

The sandy beach crawls With airplanes taking off In the rush to look over us They will know our love They will know our love They will know our love They will know our love
