This morning under awaking glow
The sun filled our room like December snow Like morning through an old window There's a place in your head I will always know To the same world born two of a kind If it?s on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause I know you well Like the soil in the ground Grass grown in the shadow of a blow And if the blow will never toll You and me grow old I hope we?ll live to tell How you know I know you knew I know you well Down under, beneath the softened skin Where the words we whisper sink in It?s no wonder the way the words still ring Sure as sin, it?s not a secret thing To the same world born two of a kind If it?s on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause I know you well Like the soil in the ground Grass grown in the shadow of a blow And if the blow will never toll You and me grow old I hope we?ll live to tell How you know I know you knew I know new york 1991 Here in the same room for so long Out of the cold November Still as a passport picture Still as a passport picture To the same world born two of a kind If it?s on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause I know you well Like the soil in the ground Grass grown in the shadow of a blow And if the blow will never toll You and me grow old I hope we?ll live to tell How you know I know you knew I know you well |

She knows nothing at all about nothing
The moment I saw her was something I found alarming That certain nothing behind her eyes TV, she finds intoxicating Shows about cops and dating She has a soft spot For cops who are robots And I don't know where this is going But I've got a feeling I'll do the driving from now on Sometimes we stare at the stars from my roof She wants to know if they are _fire proof_ I say I guess so, how else can they glow on for so long We're out, the jukebox plays "Jumping Jack Flash" She says "I love Johnny Cash, the man in red" I turn my head and pretend not to hear what she said And I don't know where this is going But I've got a feeling I'll do the driving from now on And I don't know where this is going But I've got a feeling I'll do the driving from now on |

They mean a trip to Paris or Rome To someone else, but not for me The trains and boats and planes Took you away Away from me We were so in love, and high above We had a star to wish upon Wish and dreams come true, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away Away from me You are from another part of the world You had to go back awhile and then You said you soon would return again I'm waiting here like I promised to I'm waiting here, but where are you? Trains and boats and planes took you away But every time I see them I pray And if my prayers can cross the sea The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back Back home to me |

Well, she picked me up in a German car
And she took me out to an Irish bar Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup 'Til I had some trouble standing up And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space Where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass Was so intense I could barely feel my face Then I think I asked her back to my place But that's all I recall And when I woke up in the hall I was alone and softly groaning And I lost my keys, and I lost my phone, and I wondered what I did or said That I might soon regret It was the night I can't remember With the girl I can't forget Well, I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin The next evening when my friends walked in And when I asked them if they knew where I'd been They didn't speak at first; they only grinned You see, I'm not the type to get in fights But that might not have been the case last night Because they heard that I had a word or two With the man who asked, "Is she with you?" And if I took it the wrong way I guess that's not for me to say Though it seems I may have slipped up When I offered him some grooming tips But at least that helps explain The cuts and bruises on my head From the night I can't remember With the girl I can't forget And it's all coming back now Don't know how to react now Guess I'll let it go I'm not so sure I want to know Well, I was back at work at 9:15 When a message popped up on my screen It said, "Pick me up at 8:45 And we can give it one more try" And now that I'm with her The whole thing seems a bit absurd Though she never fails to tell the tale Of the time she had to post my bail And for giving me a second chance I'm forever in her debt Since the night I can't remember She's the girl I will never forget |

As the city asleep
Shares its dreams and desires Every wish that we keep Will trace a line to other times, other places Though the song of the proud Howls and dies, never fall for defeat Take a trip to reprieve Every hour they leave From Killermont Street Drink a drink to before And our memories spill Adding on as they pour From our Saturdays and secret sensations Drink a drink to tonight Whisky words tumble down in the street With the pain that they cure Sentimentally yours From Killermont Street And with collar upturned I made it south to see That the love I had spurned Was just the hate in me As the ships and the steel Slip away to the cry of 'compete' There's a message for us We can get there by bus From Killermont Street |

Because he was great They called her Great Susan Cause she was his date She climbed in a box He cut her in two And when he was through She was just half a woman And he'd tie her up Set her on fire He'd douce her with oil The crowd would go wild She was always alright At the end of the night But somehow she felt Like just half a woman The show went the same way Year after year He'd wave his magic wand She'd disappear One day she asked How did this come to be Somewhere there must be more to me One day she left She climbed through the stage And into the trap door Under the lion's cage And after a spell He said what the hell It was just as well She was just half a woman |

I have to sit you down
Let me tell you what it's all about Cause I've been carrying a torch around And I've forgotten how to snuff it out And you have been unkind And that's a matter I cannot ignore You have to skirt around the truth sometimes But it's time I told you what I came here for To thank you for all the small favors I'm thinkin' now I hope it doesn't change us And take us to a time when we were strangers In a two-station town You can't get the train to slow down Small favors Oh to you as sure as she was honest And now do you remember when you promised To forgive me someday The debts that I can't repay For debts that I can't repay And I cannot forget You looked at me as if I'd lost a bet And I hadn't opened up my big mouth yet And I thought of crawling back into the plane And though it's sad to tell I still remember how the dry-eye felt Across the curtains in the cheap hotel Lit-up dust clouds in the window pane And I thank you for all the small favors I'm thinkin' now I hope it doesn't change us And take us to a time when we were strangers In a two-station town You can't get the train to slow down Small favors I'm thinkin' now I hope it doesn't change us And take us to a time when we were strangers In a two-station town You can't get the train to slow down Small favors Oh to you as sure as she was honest Now do you remember when you promised Forgive me someday For debts that I can't repay For debts that I can't repay The debts that I can't repay |

The day you drew your final breath
And parted from the Earth Is carved into the stone that bears your name And date of birth Oooooooooo...Imperia Oooooooooo...Imperia He was leaning over you with flowers And his hand Trying through the years to see the heart Inside the man Oooooooooo...Imperia Oooooooooo...Imperia |

There's fire in the canyon
Rain on the plain And an eerie kind of sadness On the highway today Was it driving together That drove us apart Or did we change direction Chasing arrows and hearts We've been wandering alone such a long time Lose our way as we go town to town Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow On every crooked road we travel down And I'm checking out the road signs Highway hotels And their air-conditioned cable-ready cold padded cells And we read them like stories In trash magazines We ain't really sure what it means We've been wandering alone such a long time Lose our way as we go town to town Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow On every crooked road we travel down Well I'll ride this motorway For a thousand miles a day Til the road runs out of blacktop Or I will this world away And each town is steeped in rain And I know each one by name Cause this road is wrapped around me And I wear it like a chain We've been wandering alone such a long time Lose our way as we go town to town Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow On every crooked road we travel down Believe us to be born into a path straight and narrow On every crooked road we travel down |

Can't get a taxi, it's bucketing rain Heading downtown with nothing in my brain Trying to catch my breath Tired legume in a smoke-filled room The high school guys are making noise outside Walking the hall with my shoes untied Dying to catch my death And now it's Pekoe tea With a reflection of me My only company As far as I can see We're doing this the hardest way Back at the Hotel Majestic Same time every day Hey hey Watch what you wish for, maybe wish too much? You'll wake up in Westmoreland doubling Dutch Aware of the uproar but numb to the touch Sifting through bad poetry A sweet disorder never served me as well As a tape recorder and a worn-out Dell Time to reorder, man I feel like hell I wonder what's on TV And now it's Pekoe tea With a reflection of me My only company As far as I can see We're doing this the hardest way Stuck in the Hotel Majestic Six nights, seven days I wake up around two o'clock Scrape off my eyelids and' search for my socks Holy shit, I'm late Now it's knock knock knock Let's go We're doing this the hardest way Doing this the hardest way Rocking the Hotel Majestic I hope you enjoyed your stay Hey hey |

When you think you've found something worth holding onto Were you reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans Like she was returnable One day would refill your hands How she loved you, all you imagined Fit so well into your plans Maybe one day soon It'll all come out How you dream about each other sometimes With a memory of How you once gave up But you made it through the troubled times Pining away every hour in your room Rolling with the motion, waiting til it's opportune Sitting there watching time fly past you Why do tomorrow What you could never do How she loved you All you imagined All the shit you put her through Maybe one day soon It'll all come out How you dream about each other sometimes With a memory of How you once gave up But you made it through the troubled times And it takes a lot of nerve to ask how she is doing Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins The way the days and hours pass you'll never understand Falling like rain through your hands Maybe one day soon It'll all come out How you dream about each other sometimes With a memory of How you once gave up But you made it through the troubled times |

It must be summer Cause the streets are bare And I try your number But you're just not there And the sun keeps shining Til it's dead and gone And it must be summer Cause I can't go on And the sun is beating me senseless I feel defenseless like a dying lamb I don't want to lie by the oceanside Don't want to play in the sand Can't you understand? Can't you understand? |

Survival car We can take the long way home Through Central Park Funny how the ground can find my wheels I'm going where the road ain't there And only riding on the path we made to Union Square Doing like the young folks do In west coast towns Plowing like a banshee through The overground Funny how the ground can find my wheels I'm going where the road won't dare And only riding on the path we made to Union Square Everybody hit the ground I think I might have missed my calling Everybody turn around The light's about to change You better stand aside Why you wanna walk Don't you want to ride ride ride ride Don't you wanna ride in my Survival car We can take the long way home Funny how the ground can find my wheels I'm going where the road won't dare And only riding on the path we made to Union Square |

Check out the girl in the Harbor Tunnel
Crawling to work six feet under And the day has barely begun They're all chewing gum And laughing at the voice on the crackling radio station Lead us not into Penn Station Cause the best part's just begun We're all becoming one again And she's making the scene With the coffee and cream And the copy machine's not working She's a hell of a girl She's alone in the world And she likes to say hey good lookin She's on her way She's taking a sick day soon And here is the man pushing paper past her Thinks up ways to make the day go faster But the day goes on and on He dreams of his lawn And all about the pretty careerist the next cube over The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover Til the PATH train finally comes The platform's full of bums again And she's making the scene With the coffee and cream And the copy machine's not working She's a hell of a girl She's alone in the world And she likes to say hey good lookin She's on her way She's taking a sick day soon And she's taking her time As she's tossing a dime At the man in the cardboard coffin It doesn't have to be fine She's ahead of the line And doesn't have to be here too often She's making a play She's taking a sick day soon |

Is that supposed to be your poker face
Or was someone run over by a train? You’re minding your own business But you’re begging for forgiveness Just the same And it’s running back and forth inside your mind Just how that town defined you Dressed you up, painted on your face And now you’re leaving New York For no better place You’re waking, trying not to be Wrapped around your pillow like a prawn The nighttime’s wrapped around you ‘Will be until it traps you on the dawn From the C-Train to the shiny tower Kicked around till happy hour found you Where you can drink that smirk right off your face And now you’re leaving New York For no better place And here is your reflection In a building uptown A ghost is at some Madison Avenue display Like water under bridges You’re slowly passing by She sailed between the rooftops and the sky And the bourbon sits inside me Right now I’m a puppet in its sway And it may be the whiskey talking But the whiskey says, “I’ll miss you every day” So I taxi to an all-night party Park me in a corner, in an old chair Sip my drink and stare out into space And now you’re leaving New York For no better place And now you’re leaving New York For no better place |

Hey sweet Annie, don’t take it so bad
You know the summer’s coming soon Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon Your daddy told you when you were a girl The kind of things that come to those who wait So give it a rest girl, take a deep breath girl Meet me at the Bay State tonight (Chorus) The snow is coming down On our New England town And it’s been falling all day long What else is new? What can I do, I wrote a valley winter song to play for you. (subsequently: But sing this valley winter song I wrote for you.) And late December can drag a man down You feel it deep in your gut Short days and afternoons spent puttering around In a dark house with the windows painted shut Remember New York, staring outside As reckless winter made its way From Staten Island to the Upper West Side Whiting out our streets along the way (Chorus) (instrumental break – main verse chords) (Chorus) |

With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a dog around the track But when I get back home you're always there to rub my back Chorus: Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down Julie, I swear it's so hard to bear it And I'd never make it through without you around No, I'd never make it through without you around Verse: Hours on the phone makin' pointless calls I got a desk full of paper that means nothin' at all Sometimes I catch myself staring into space Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face Chorus Bridge: How did it come to be That you and I must be Far away from each other every day? Why must I spend my time Fillin' up my mind With facts and figures that never add up anyway They never add up anyway Verse: Workin' all day for a mean little guy With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a gerbil on a wheel He can tell me what to do, but he can't tell me what to feel Chorus |

While I down Kentucky bourbon
I am waiting for a call And the moon and stars tonight Are playing shadows on the wall With the moon the way it is, dear Would you answer out of spite Or are you feeling lonely tonight Cause I remember last time We were out under the stars Driving crooked down the highway Drinking beer in roadside bars And now and then I wonder Why this painful memory Can never find its way to you from me And I can't dial the phone just now Even though I know your number Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue Like you did today You'll say goodbye the same old way Ever since you hung up on me I'm hung up on you Well the house I'm ringing up from Is a half a mile from you But with the reception I'm getting Might as well be Timbuktu And behind the door of your home Is a strange and foreign land Where you speak a language I don't understand And I can't dial the phone just now Even though I know your number Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue Like you did today You'll say goodbye the same old way Ever since you hung up on me I'm hung up on you Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar Like a thousand other times With an appetite for poison And a suitcase full of dimes And I'll wait there by the payphone With one hundred other guys With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes And I can't dial the phone just now Even though I know your number Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue Like you did today You'll say goodbye the same old way Ever since you hung up on me I'm hung up on you |

Tried to take a shuttle to Spain They kicked me off of the plane I guess I'll go to Japan It all looks the same when you stump for the man And down in the valley we crawl in the alley Who knew the 101 was so long? Before you get sold, you get bought for a song Sake in aluminum cans It fell in the wrong hands And now we're chewing the scene Stumbling out of the Lexingoton Queen Walking through a German hotel And not walking ver well I gotta get to the van Excuse me, I'm weaving as fast as I can And tom won't admit he got lost in the city He's saying that the directions are wrong Before you get sold, you get bought for a song And down in the valley we crawl in the alley Who knew the 101 was so long? Before you get sold, you get bought for a song |

Multi-colored microbus
Plowing over rugged terrain We're jacking the radio Passing the afternoon train Around the roses she showed us Hyacinths and sage Gold plated garden tools Sunlamps and it's all the rage Stay low to the ground or they'll sniff you out You never know what you will find When you go Out of the blackness Into the great big sky Supercollider Shooting inside your mind Gather round the gas tower don't it kindo look like a bong I heard it backwards Hidden in a Pink Floyd song Stella Radiata It's got to set your mind at ease Spinning on the tire swing Flying like Tarzan through the trees And back to the bus when the sun goes down Try to aim it back into town We're riding Out of the blackness Into the great big sky Supercollider Shooting inside your mind And coriander grows along the banks where we go walking at night Creeping slowly over the ground We tiptoe round the garden Trying not to tramp it down Stay low to the ground or they'll sniff you out You nver know what you will find When you go Out of the blackness Into the great big sky Supercollider Shooting inside your mind |

In about an hour
The sunlight's gonna fade And you and me We'll divvy up the wine Like everything else here Yours and mine Pickin up the paper Coffee's been made It's book review and face the nation time Two in the same mind Yours and mine |

Trains and boats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome To someone else, but not for me The trains and boats and planes Took you away Away from me We were so in love, and high above We had a star to wish upon Wish and dreams come true, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away Away from me You are from another part of the world You had to go back awhile and then You said you soon would return again I'm waiting here like I promised to I'm waiting here, but where are you? Trains and boats and planes took you away But every time I see them I pray And if my prayers can cross the sea The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back Back home to me |

from Fountains Of Wayne - Hey Julie [single] (2004)
Workin' all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a dog around the track But when I get back home you're always there to rub my back Chorus: Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down Julie, I swear it's so hard to bear it And I'd never make it through without you around No, I'd never make it through without you around Verse: Hours on the phone makin' pointless calls I got a desk full of paper that means nothin' at all Sometimes I catch myself staring into space Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face Chorus Bridge: How did it come to be That you and I must be Far away from each other every day? Why must I spend my time Fillin' up my mind With facts and figures that never add up anyway They never add up anyway Verse: Workin' all day for a mean little guy With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a gerbil on a wheel He can tell me what to do, but he can't tell me what to feel Chorus |
