Gonna leave the pain behind
Gonna leave the fools in line
Gonna take the magic potion
Gettin' in an old black car
Gonna take a ride so far
To the land of sun tan lotion
Gonna take it state by state
Til I hit the golden gate
Get my feet wet in the ocean

I'm still living
In the dream we had,
For me it's not over...

Walkin on the bridge on day
Lookin out across the bay
I saw a rippling in the water
Once a big ship had passed
I borrowed a traveller's glass
And focused on
The ocean's daughter
Kind of like a wave confused
Dancing in the sunset hews
She waved to me
And called me over

I'm still living
In the dream we had,
For me it's not over...

Talkin' bout a friend of mine
Talkin' bout a gold mine
Richest vein in any mountain
Talkin' bout the enemy
Inside of me
Talkin' bout
That youthful fountain
Talkin' bout you and me
Talkin' bout eternity
Talkin' bout the big time

I'm still living
In the dream we had,
For me it's not over...

I built a house of cards
Built a house of rain
Built a house of love
It's hard to build again
Built a road to reason
Built a road to fate
Built a road
To the promised land
Right up to the gate

Loose change in my pocket
Future in my hand
Too many distractions
For me to understand

Too many distractions
Got to get back home
Get into something solid
Get out of the zone
Some roads bring renewal
Some roads hide and wait
Some roads
Promise everything
And steal your fuel away

Loose change in my pocket
Future in my hand
Too many distractions
For me to understand

Some roads I been flyin'
Some roads I crashed
Some roads
I been sleepin' on
Some roads I got back

Some roads I been runnin'
Some roads I was stopped
Some roads
I been walkin down
Some roads I was lost

She lives in the TV sky
She lives in such pain
She rides in a bulletproof
Stretch limousine
The smoke in the barroom nights
The faces in the window
The sound of the harbor horn
She recognized

And when the music started
She just slipped away
Just like a river rollin' down
And when the music started
She just slipped away

High on a windy hill
The turbine did whine
Low in the valley chill
A baby was cryin'
Impossible to take the time
The moment is here
Cry out from behind the pines
A voice comin' near

And when the music started
She just slipped away
Just like a river rollin' down
And when the music started
She just slipped away

We're changing highways
In heavy traffic
See the lights turn
To something graphic
With my suitcase and my brew
I come in your room

Hello hello
Is that you stranger
Is this our music
Up in you manger?
And is this your exit too?
We're changing highways

I'm a little bit high
I'm a little bit low
Hear you name wherever I go
I'm a little bit wrong
I'm a little bit right
Hear your name
All day and night

When the music calls
I'll be there
No more sadness
No more cares
Let's think about living
Let's think about life
Like a comet
Painted on the sky
Like an old soul
Over darkness you'll fly

I'm a little bit here
I'm a little bit there
I'm a little scattered
Everywhere
I'm a little bit up
I'm a little bit down
I hear your name
All over this town

I'm not asleep
When I'm lyin' down
I'm asleep
When I' walkin' around
This town
This town

Some people think
That it's not OK
To sleep around
And kiss the hours away
This town
It's OK

Have you ever been lost
Have you ever been found out
Have you ever felt all alone
At the end of the day
Yeah I'm talkin' bout gettin' down
Take it easy - there's no one around
Just a mirror and you and me
And the TV screen

I was walkin down main street
Not the sidewalk but main street
Dodgin' traffic with flyin' feet
That's how good I felt
Took a spin in the laundromat
Played a game in the music arcade
Kept winnin' while the band played
That's how good I felt

Have you ever been lost
Have you ever been found out
Have you ever felt all alone
At the end of the day
Yeah I'm talkin' bout gettin' down
Take it easy - there's no one around
Just a mirror and you and me
And the TV sky

Have you ever been singled out
By a hungry man
You're listening to the radio
He's washin' your window
When you look in those vacant eyes
How does it harmonize
With the things that you do?
That's how good I felt

Have you ever been lost
Have you ever been found out
Have you ever felt all alone
At the end of the day
Yeah I'm talkin' bout gettin' down
Take it easy - there's no one around
Just a mirror and you and me
And the TV screen

There's a comet in the sky tonight
Makes me feel like I'm alright
I'm movin' prety fast
For my size
I really didn' mean to stay
As long as I have
So I'll be movin' on

Got me running, got me hiding,
Got me run, hide, hide, run anyway you want to let it roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me
So baby why you want to let go

Going up, going down
Got me up, down, down, up, anyway you want to let it roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me
So baby why you want to let go

Got me beeping, got me hiding
Got me beep, hide, beep, hide, anyway you want to let it roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me
So baby why you want to let go
