It started feeling like October I got stranded on the road You know where to find me Anytime you want me Annie Annie use your telescope So they made my life into a movie As if I could forget those years But I know where the time's gone Just how well my mind's been wandering Annie use your telescope Telescope Annie use your telescope When it's late, don't stop looking Where my eyes turn to glas...
Should the canyons burn All night long like the 4th of July We won't need an alibi There's gas in the car Hours til sunrise And there's no guarantee That leaving town's gonna set us both free But staying here it's just not what we need Staying here it's just not what we need Because America shines yes it does In between the white lines where I found love All alone on a road going nowhere Going...
She walks to the mailbox each morning at nine Every day she begins, she's always one day behind At least when it comes to the mail She sits on the balcony paying the bills Her letters just hashing her cigarettes onto the sill Every breath a little more pale And the hill's still left to climb It's just so high and I'm so tired Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes The clouds are all on fire It's...
I've got my things I'm good to go You met me at the terminal Just one more plane ride and it's done We stood like statues at the gate Vacation's come and gone too late There's so much sun where I'm from I had to give it away, had to give you away And we spent four days on an island At your family's old hotel Sometimes perfection can be It can be perfect hell, perfect Hours pass and she still c...
I'm caught somewhere in between Alive and living a dream No peace, just clicking machines In the quiet of compazine The walls caved in on me And she sings my bird dressed in white And she stings my arm in the night I lay still, still I'm ready to fight Have my lungs but you can't take my sight The walls caved in tonight And out here I watch the sun circle the earth The marrows collide in rebir...
I have become increasingly Overwhelmed but not discouraged And soon I'll leave the infirmary Feeling well but lacking courage, courage And now the rockets fly above Passing over Cape Canaveral There's the woman with the drugs In the caf? by the launch pad By the launch pad And she is gonna Ring me up on my cellular phone So I know I'm not alone In a world full of vampires Come on, darling Talk...
I wanna hear some music Now that they're driving us all underground Not the radio music or their satellite singing this In this town, in this town I wanna hear some music And with the rock stars all flicker and fade Power radio music I'm a ghost over ground on, on parade And even if your voice comes back again Maybe they'll be no one listening And even if I find the strength to stand It doesn'...
I have, I have you breathing down my neck Breathing down my neck I don't, don't know what you could Possibly expect under this condition So I'll wait, I'll wait For the ambulance to come, ambulance to come Pick us up off the floor What did you possibly expect Under this condition, so slow down This night's a perfect shade of Dark blue, dark blue, have you Ever been alone in a crowded room?

I saw her wait, waitng at the bus stop Watching as her tears dropped Like pennies down a well Oh well We can drink until the sun comes up I never let a good thing go So I'll stay here if you're not leaving I am on your side This house is empty We could cross the line And we could make a big mistake The silence breaks and you hear me say "Don't go, don't go so far away" You don't have to go "Do...
I will give you this confession, I am taking you with me Where we can contemplate our chemistry And your eyes were lined with questions with blood rushing away To take this feeling with us to our graves, to our graves I get the feeling we're so misdirected I get the feeling we have lost control Till then I'll turn you to the new religion We're dropping out into the so unknown The so unknown, y...

And today was a day just like any other I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge Unraveling with every word With every word you say, make me believe That I won't feel your tires on the street As I'm finding the words, you're getting away I come undone, oh yes, I do Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you And every word you say, say something sweet 'Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth As...
From an empty room on the first floor As the cars pass by the liquor store I deconstruct my thoughts at this piano And it's all that I can do to stay with All the things I didn't say to you Before you moved across the country And from the burning building where I lay As I watch the stars become the day The L.A. girls were lacing up their sneakers They run the boardwalks and the beach This fish...

You've gotta swim, swim for your life Swim for the music that saves you When you're not so sure you'll survive You gotta swim and swim when it hurts The whole world is watching You haven't come this far to fall off the earth The currents will pull you away from your love Just keep your head above I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a ...
