Somebody shouted out the front seat window at me "Better get your head inside" and so I figured maybe you were dancing on the stage above me Telling me to come outside But you were laughing in the cigarette ash in the back of some Japanese kid's apartment as he punched out the window and jumped into the street So I've been telling everybody that I meet that the colors that your feet make shouting on the sidewalk color me in They drove around me til they got so mad that you would never ever let me in no more so now I figure that I'll find my keys and when the morning comes I'll sneak out the back head over to the back of the stage and with the sun coming up I'll be gone driven over to the edge of the world and into the sea

I don't know how the world gets off Just beatin it's drum all day I don't know why but it feels so rough to be sittin on my bed with a handful of clay Wake me up in the daytime Wake me up in the middle of the night Wake me up in the morning So I can feel like I'm gonna be alright I don't know why my hands won't stop They'll be workin from the dusk til the dawn I don't know why the world won't stop just a minute so that I can get on

Climbin atop the rainy days of the mountains All the village trees were soaked in grey In a New English town, afraid of the locals Comin up to see you for a day Maybe clouds weren't meant to hold the mountains Maybe I wasn't meant to hold your hand But maybe if I try to keep you inside of my wooden cage Well maybe then I could stand a chance

I set the men in the backstage they started rough on the shore taking a gallon or two of defeat they came up the middle of the road he's two feet tall with the drainpipe pants goin under all the women and all the other men are thinking seven gallon hats and a pair of boat shoes and while consumed in consumer thought the other men lose I made plans for the weekend they fell right through the floor and when I looked in the cellar that day they came 'a marching down the road I understand there's something in the water tonight making drinks in the evening, shooting other stuff at night and if it's only 2 oclock won't you please keep me straight cause all the cigarettes that I've got left won't get me through the day it's a break, please take it as it fights to admire all the old town values you're throwin in the fire pit but you only wanted for to better yourself but kid you're kidding yourself if you think that I'm about to help let's stay out all day let's stay out all night I'll be bleeding all around til the sun goes down and i'm over the bed, over the street, over the sea and i'm over you and i'm over me

Honey you can come to me when all your faces start swelling up green, just take a seat at the table, see if you're able can you reel back the time Honey you can count on me to black the images that spoil your dreams cause you were made for the city take it up easy, you can come back to me Honey you can come back to me when the cloud of anger doesn't hang on your dreams please take the time to go get it make yourself better I want you to be here with me

Speak up, honey, speak up again speak up until you make it outta the sand make me a king on your backyard line makin me up to be the sweetest thing on the vine and there's nothing standing there and though i told myself i woudn't care I do black out, honey, black out again black out until we find the morning again taking all the money, take all the drugs taking all my education, find me in a rut to go home cause there's nothing standing there and though i told myself i woudn't care I do Speak up, honey, speak up again speak up until you make it outta the sand make me a king, make me devine oh please, make me out to be the sweetest thing on the vine

Morning window It's the same old same And I'm glad that I came but it's time Morning window It's a ride all right But I'll be gone tonight so goodbye Morning window Like the frozen leaves And the winter breeze in her eyes Morning window Through the molded mugs All the hollow hugs and goodbyes Morning window To the station tracks Never looking back So goodbye
