Beside yourself if radio's gonna stay. Reason: It could polish up the grey. Put that, put that, put that up your wall. That this isn't country at all. Raving station, beside yourself. Keep me out of country in the word. Deal the porch is leading us absurd. Push that, push that, push that to the hull. That this isn't nothing at all. Straight off the boat, where to go? Calling on in transit, calling on in transit Radio free Europe, radio. Beside defying media too fast. Instead of pushing palaces to fall. Put that, put that, put that before all. That this isn't fortunate at all. Raving station, beside yourself. Calling on in transit, calling on in transit Radio free Europe, radio. Decide yourself, calling all of the medias too fast. Keep me out of country in the word. Disappoint is into us absurd. Straight off the boat, where to go? Calling on in transit, calling on in transit Radio free Europe, radio free Europe. Calling on in transit, calling on in transit Radio free Europe, radio free Europe. |

Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself I know it might sound strange, but I believe You'll be coming back before too long (Chorus) Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville And waste another year At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care if you're not here with me 'Cause it's so much easier to handle All my problems if I'm too far out to sea But something better happen soon Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back (Chorus) It's not as though I really need you If you were here I'd only bleed you But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and That's not how it ought to be I know it might sound strange, but I believe You'll be coming back before too long (Chorus: Repeat 2X) |

I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door Just didn't seem to be too real. The yard is nothing but a fence the sun just hurts my eyes. Somewhere it must be time for penitence. Gardening at night is never where. Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night. The neighbors go to bed at ten. Call the prayer line for a change. The charge is changing every month. They said it couldn't be arranged. We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows. We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow. I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though all the feelings that broke through that door Just didn't seem to be too real. Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night Your sister said that you're too young. They should know they've been there twice. The call was two and fifty one. They said it couldn't be arranged. I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change. Though all the feelings that broke through that door Just didn't seem to be too real. We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows. We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow. Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night |

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away The trees will bend, the cities wash away The city on the river there is a girl without a dream I'm sorry Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down The wise man built his words upon the rocks But I'm not bound to follow suit The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine Did you never call? I waited for your call These rivers of suggestion are driving me away The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine |

The walls are built up, stone by stone, the fields divided one by one.
And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long" And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away" I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm. The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged. Bells are ringing through the town again, Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away" Way to shield the hated heat. Way to put myself to sleep. Way to shield the hated heat. Way to put myself, my children to sleep. He piloted this song in a plane like that one. She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade. Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again. Field to weed is stricken thin And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long." And the train conductor says "Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away" But we're still a ways away. |

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around Peel back the mountains peel back the sky Stomp gravity into the floor It's a Man Ray kind of sky Let me show you what I can do with it Time and distance are out of place here Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull Somewhere near the end it said "You can't do this", I said "I can too" Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift It's a Man Ray kind of sky Let me show you what I can do with it Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes, Holding my head straight (looking down). This is the easiest task I've ever had to do... I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around Shift the swaying river's shift, Oceans fall and mountains drift It's a Man Ray kind of sky Let me show you what I can do with it Time and distance are out of place here Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes, Holding my head straight (looking down). This is the easiest task I've ever had to do... Reason had harnessed the tame Holding the sky in their arms Gravity pulls me down |

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
To doors to go between the wall was raised today To doors remain before your others and your own Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way Two doors to go between the wall was raised today Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there The hills ringing hear the words in time Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue Can't you see you made my ears go tin? The air quicken tension building inference suddenly Life and how to live it Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to the holler My pockets are out and running about Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there Listen, listen to the holler, If I write a book it will be called "Life and How to Live It" |

Put your hair back, we get to leave. Eleven gallows on your sleeve. Sallow figure, winner's paid. Eleven shadows way out of place. Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room. Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room. Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room. Pull your dress on and stay real close. Who might leave you where I left off? A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends. Drink another, coin a phrase. Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room. Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room. Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room. Try to win and suit your needs. Speak out sometimes but try to win. Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room. Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room. Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room. Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room. Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room. |

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, An aeroplane - lenny bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, Listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, Don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, Grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, Down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a Government for hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population, Common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, Feeling pretty psyched. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine. Six o'clock - tv hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle, Light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, Offer me alternatives and i decline. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine. The other night i tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount st. Edelite. Leonard bernstein. Leonid breshnev, Lenny bruce and lester bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, Jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine...fine... (it's time i had some time alone) |
