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. |

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. |

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 |

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 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 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 |

The wheelbarrow's fallen Look at my hands They've found some surplus cheaper hands Rubbing palms and pick and choose, who will they choose? Here is the news. Look at that building, look at this man Haloed and whitewashed Gone to find a cheaper hand he'll offer a pound, offer a pound. Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go The compass points the workers home Pay for your freedom, find another gate Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago Guilty as you go Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe The grasses that hide the greenback The amber waves of gain again The amber waves of gain Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go The compass points the workers home |

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. |

When i was young and fever fell My spirit, i will not tell You're on your honor not to tell I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract Explain the change, the difference between What you want and what you need, there's the key, Your adventure for today, what do you do Between the horns of the day?

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) |
