I don't understand the way you are
Ain't you never held a fallen star
I can't stand the thought of waking up
With my hand on the timeclock
And my vest on the rack.
So I'm never going back
Leaving today
Leaving and I'm living in the
Back of a van.

compensation for the little man
just ain't what it used to be
hillside lounge at the edge of town
a breathing man you'd swear was dead
he's alone - in smoke that turns to stone
he lives a lie
sailing sunsets on a carbon heart
can burn away just like your dreams
un

the lights are out again
and they'll shock you now and then
but maybe if i'm lucky
you'll be back before it's ten
i make you feel at home
i can't stand it here alone
being safe depends
on the day that never ends
it's the lonely sunshine
i pass through hours of

I wanna float like a halo
the heavy air has kept me on the ground
in other days we did so much
when pleasure was a canvas you could brush
when every whisper seemed to say so much
I'm in a role - I'm a player
and all the other stars are almost gone
and all the friends

so so long, so long
waving at the greenboat
so long pack my bags I'm moving on
as the waves wave bye
(good-bye)
such a clear blue sky
so long
waving at the greenboat
(el barco verde se va alia mar)
I can't say for sure we'll still be friends
I don't know y

Driving down the road
The wheel as cold as the raindrops falling
It's lonely driving alone
When the city streets have overflowed
What's the time of day
What's your name 'cause i need to know you
Of course it's meant to be
And you could set me free.
This is a sort

a tear in an old man's eye
a glass raised for the new
comes a time when all the years you've spent
are better to forget
place me above your light
if that's something you can do
every night I almost start to pray that
you don't go away
I don't want to lose you

lately i've been crashing
lost and feeling down
ever since she left me
on the ground
tell me in the open
was i just a fool
am i just a scorpio
on the move
it's going to be the end of me
i can't go back again
she's the only one
who ever understands.

always knew that you'd go insane
every time the sun goes down,
i'm the one to blame
rumors mattered back when
i was weak
tried to stop the torture - you just like
hurting me.
but it's over now it's in the past
at least it was in my eyes
into yourself, that's a

don't want to sit
don't want to settle down
work all day
sell that sound
Hollywood, so vicious and afraid
the 304, the girl next-door...
perhaps, we'll meet once again
trigger happy singers drawing straws
artist and repetoire
America we gave you all our best

the ocean is invincible
feeling quite demure
life is such a precious thing
so simple and unsure
if only you would open up
you'd see it crystal clear
all your inhibitions disappear
open up yourself
it's a brand new day
nothing in the future
the present can'

she is the New Wave queen
leaded gasoline
in all the magazines
on the scene, i look for you
talking on the phone
and every word, i'm hangin' on
let's talk about the Beach Boys
psychedelic rendez-vous at 2
remember Melrose and the Llasha Club?
the Three O'Clock

I balance on the wire
Of uncertainty, i'm going nowhere
Standing on top of the
Dreams i've bled
Lift me out this hole
You made me stumble in,
I'm flesh and blood
I don't wanna be here no more.
But people change
I guess i dov let me ask you something about love

pull out your bags
we're leaving town
you can't let your plans
keep you around
headstrong, you bought into
a world of advantage and contempt, you knew
seen you since then
but i can't remember when.
America... i spit at your feet
for selling lives to pour concr

in the darkness, close my eyes
and sleep away the days
and traitors are forgiven
the stars align and all the time is gone
and they say its not worth sleeping
after dawn
(I was stuck in a space and time)
if you give me time
then I'd know what to do

every summer
sky is ocean blue
every summer makes
me think of you
In the summer
she will forget your name
and I can't help myself
you know its true
summer's all about you
terraforming on a broken star
in the summer
she's going to break your heart

the singer making fire and song
left bridges burning
he's taking off across the shore
aloneagain or maybe more
i turned my hat back
when he gave the final score.
i listened to a child of four
churn like a beater
a brain just like a firestorm
a candy-apple face

I feel very good today
The medicine
Must be working fine
Breaking the fall
I could see it coming
Now it's all crystal clear
I wish I could stay this way
The parachute
Saved me just in time
Sick of it all
Strike up the apathy earthquake
In my ears

I was thinking about you
just the other day
really made me feel better
I want to call you
and tell you you're my favorite
maybe write you a letter
you play the songs that
the other d.j.'s never play
real emotional tunes, yeah
close my eyes and imagine

now you're gone
singled out and movin' on
but I gave it all I could
I never wanted the things I should
I waited by the phone
so you'd never feel alone
I waited by the phone just for you
say good-bye
don't ask for a reason why
to the hills and gates of gold
