Along the edges, colors blur at seem familiar. While you read your magazine, I was counting all the markers.
And california seemed to draw you like a siren From a postcard, or a letter, in a frame of film melting.
But under you, i hear your breath move in, out slowly. Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me.
A hollywood flat where we'd laugh about our fortunes Well we held jobs in this bar down at 3rd and san vicente. And ramen noodles at 4:30 in the morning, When we barely could survive, i was never more alive.
Under you, i feel your blood flowing out slowly. Under you, let go completely feeling you take over me
You moved in slow degrees A sudden memory You're a leonard cohen song
But every now and then i'd swear i see you standing on a sidewalk, in a Restaurant, from a taxi cab passing.
Under you i feel you moving in/out slowly Under you let go completely feeling you take over me.
'Calmly, like a razor I got us on the door,' Or 'I got a tape of 'Clerks' Someone left the night before.'
So I come over later, You're sitting in that chair Smoking on your cigarette Fingering you hair
So I get drunk and stoned, Every time you come around.
Twenty-nine and aimless You bartend down on fourth Your parents pay insurance And the Parson's Audit course
Over-schooled and uninspired Tust fund up your nose All that wasted talent but, uh Ain't that how it always goes?
So I get drunk and stoned, Every time you come around. Yeah, yeah yeah
So long Allison Foley So long, bye-bye
(Come up higher, take a step higher) Sometimes you understand The reasons how you went astray But least of all the answer, That it hurts to watch you waste away.
So I get drunk and stoned, Every time you come around. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe I should drop you at your door Leave tonight and vanish up the shore Anywhere but here... It's 3 o'clock We're driving in your car You're screaming out the window at the stars. Please don't drive me home!
Blame us 'cause we are who we are Hate us 'cause you'll never get that far And who'd suppose that you would go I've already learned enough to know that... Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (repeat)
Tell me all the places we could go And count the headlights passin' on the road A long, long time ago
Blame us cause we are who we are Hate us cause you'll never get that far And who'd suppose that you would go? I've already learned enough to know that Here we are Forgein to their world Straight and composed Your sermons I can do without And I've finally found that everybody loves to love you when you're far awaaaaay!
Could it be we've done something wrong? And make it home to your place before dawn. Please don't drive me home. Please don't take me home!
Blame us 'cause we are who we are Hate us 'cause you'll never get that far And who'd suppose that you would go? I've already learned I've already learned... Enough to know that Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo
WWOZ is on in stereo A string of flowers haloed around your head Candle light Ceiling fan Curtains blow away and back again Back again Don't wake me, I think I'm in a dream
Sleeping is easy I used to lay in bed for hours I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn
Calling back and forth through heavy air The barges sound their warnings in the dark Peace comes like a trusted friend As it starts to rain again fall away Fall away So don't wake me I think, I'm in a dream
Sleeping is easy I used to lay in bed for hours I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn Sleeping is easy I used to walk the streets for hours I've waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn
Let go of your fear, let's grow old together Find a place along the way Let's reel through the years Each makes the other better. But what thoughts can I call allies When this circle of ribs keeps working on its own?
Past the road to your house That you never called home Where they turned out the lights Though they say you'll never know
I remember running through the wet grass Falling a step behind Both of us never tiring Desperately Wanting
When they pumped out your guts Filled you full of those pills You were never quite right Deserving all the chills They say the worst is over Kicked it over and ran Then they ask what went wrong When they turn you on again They turn you on again.
I remember running through the wet grass Falling a step behind Both of us never tiring Desperately Wanting
Kick them right in the face Make them wish they weren't born And if they bring up your name Well they'll say you won the war. Baby burst in the world Never given a chance Then they ask what went wrong When you never had it right
Oh, the letters have dropped off Though they say you got them all I finally figured out some things you'll never know. Take back your life and let me inside We'll find the door if you care to anymore.
I remember running through the wet grass Falling a step behind Both of us never tiring Desperately Wanting.

Strong hands Big plans All reduced to this. Hard won freedom How could you have missed?
Scared, are you? You do it on your own You do it all alone. We all did. Scared, are you? Half the lines we make up dear The best that we can do.
Everything you would be Passed you like a ghost. And kind words are scarce at best When you need them the most.
Scared, are you? You do it on your own We all did. Scared, are you? Half the lines you make up here. The best that we can do.
Hope brings you luck Doors open up. And if you should fall, I'll catch you dear. It must be! It must be!
Scared, are you? Finally on your own You do it all alone We all did Scared, are you? Half the lines you make up dear. The best that we can do And we do....
