I know you're only having fun You want me to stare into your eyes Whatever, you're the only one OK, but I'm not hypnotized Colored Lights shine through the blinds You enfold your hand in mine Give your trance a couple tries You don't know I'm getting wise You've got me swinging on a chain Back and forth between my eyes Whatever, I'll do anything OK, but I'm not hypnotized If you make me disappear Who will whisper in your ear Crystal ball and all the gear I know what you want to hear I know you're only having fun You want me to stare into your eyes Whatever, you're the only one OK, but I'm not hypnotized You should wear that all the time That's some magic I don't mind Hearts and moons and other signs Read my fortune every night You've got me swinging on a chain Back and forth between my eyes Whatever, I'll do anything OK, but I'm not hypnotized |

A pilot's son won't fly So it's a two-day drive Kissed hs brave new wife goodbye The road ends in a fence She flies overhead He starts his lonely trip out west Western sky The miles go by She'll always get there first And I'll always arrive Meet you there You take care I love that look you get Before you say goodbye His conscience dark Like an AM radio song Fades in reflected off the clouds After his father crashed He moved his family back And vowed to never leave the ground Western sky Between the signs I'm spelling out your name In neon passing by Meet you there Saturday Now you be careful love The road can hypnotize And exit in the rain She answered before it rang But he can only say her name Western sky He laughs then signs I'm only half way home And stopping for the night Glad you're there You know my fear I need those words you say Before you say goodbye |

You always tell me
I'm just one more thing to break You wonder why I wanna fall apart that way Crack my reason Wearing you pretty face Dropped me a couple times I come around anyway Demolition by words Wrecked all over town Working for one break Head down, passed out You always tell me I'm just one more thing to hide Your friends don't know me And they wonder where you go Take it on another phone Put-downs in code I've got my own ring You might not be alone Leave me everywhere Waking up on a floor Locked in a nightclub Breaking out the back door You always tell me I'm just one more thing to break |

He wasn't murdered by love or loneliness
He walked out on his own It was a holiday night, he was out of state Before she knew he'd gone Leaving just enough for the weekly rent Plus a little change Taking the long way to any place In the frozen rain It was a roadside stop with a broken name And he sat there all alone In the used-up mirror he saw His ghost come slowly walking over He said, "Where are you goin', son? I'll go too Listen, don't you think I know What you've been doin'?" He wasn't murdered or lost or ransomed off He walked out on his own With a rain to wash his conscience off And an idea where he's goin' Looking both ways on a one-way street But the light won't change Finding just enough behind the seat To make her telephone ring |

Did I wake you up again?
Talking in my sleep Unfamiliar afternoon We were out for a little while Voices from the street Sunlight in a rented room I don't know how You get me lost Forgotten where I'm running from I have found You get me lost And I don't care where we're going I'll follow you to your cloud Or meet you underground Take me with you either way What if we'd never met You lead me to forget What I was about to say I'm turned around You get me lost Directions wrong, way unknown I have found You get me lost And I don't care where we're going |

He hadn't been talking
Parked out of the way Just say there smoking Watching the flames You're going to tell me why We're first to arrive She thought she knew him well Until they had gone to see the fire When the roof fell in He lit up again She thought she knew him well Until they had gone to see the fire Friends with her brother He started to call Now it's been two months Summer to fall A burn on his finger Smoke in his clothes Tapping his ashes Like sending up code You're going to tell me why We're first to arrive She thought she knew him well Until they had gone to see the fire When the roof fell in He lit up again She thought she knew him well Until they had gone to see the fire |

Down from the attic in your old things
My new girlfriend has a curious streak Half lit in the hall, she's like you Twenty years ago Clothes from a case you'd thrown at me Orange, yellow, red and chartreuse green Way back in the day, I lost you Don't tell me here we go again Seventies girl, don't come any closer There's gonna be trouble tonight You're not staying over Hey there, seventies girl Never should have showed her You wanna be older than you were She was transcendental then Her beautiful eyes through your rose specs Way back, in the day, I loved you Or something like it anyway Seventies girl, you've been taken over You never had a cradle to rock Now you wanna go there Hey there, seventies girl Never should have told her You wanna be older than you were We fell apart just like that dress Then taught ourselves unhappiness I don't recall much, I confess But wonder where she's gone Seventies girl, don't come any closer There's gonna be trouble tonight You're not staying over Hey there, seventies girl Never should've showed her You wanna be older than you were |

We turned on life
Now it's made us decide You look so tired All night praying for advice If it's true Make him come down from heaven Let him decide for you If it's true You're gonna be a mother I don't know what to do I can't hold you You've got thorns in your voice Our hopeless plans Tangled up in a choice If it's true We couldn't stay together I'm broke and so are you If it's true If we can't take each other Now someone else has to In a landlocked town With a backwards name Selling paintings of the sea My horizons sit in the parking lot all day If I won't believe my own advice I could never fool a child And they don't forgive you Once they see you've tried Our own lives Had their way at the time You look so down You can't agree or deny it If it's true I think I know your father He'll want me to say I do If it's true You're gonna be a mother I don't know what to do When is loneliness not loneliness? |
