lyrics

Well I'm changing all my strings I'm gonna write another traveling song. About all the billion highways and the cities at the break of dawn. I guess the best that I can do now is pretend that I've done nothing wrong. And dream about a train that's going to take me back to where I belong.
Now the ocean speaks and spits and I can hear it from the interstate. I'm screaming at my brother on a cell phone, he is far away. I'm saying, nothing in the past or future every will feel like today. Until we're parking in an alley, just hoping that our shit is safe.
So I go back and forth forever. All my thoughts they come in pairs. I will I won't I doubt I don't. I'm not surprised, but I never feel quite prepared.
Now I'm hunched over a typewriter I guess you'd call that painting in a cave. There's a word I can't remember and a feeling I can not escape. Now my ashtray's overflowing I'm still staring at a clean white page. And morning's at my window and she is sending me to bed again.
Where I dream the dark on the horizon I dream the desert where the dead lay down. I dream a prostituted child touching an old man in a fast food crown. I drempt the ship the sinking there were people screaming all around. And I awoke to my alarmclock it was a pop song, it was playing loud.
So I will find my fears and face them. Or I will cower like a dog. I will kick and scream or kneel and plead. I'll fight like hell to hide I've given up.
