dancing on the highway
here if you want me
listening so close from far away
i memorized what you told me
like a foreigner on holiday
i know to smile at confusion
and not forget the soul that smiles on me
dancing on the highway
the broken line that led from you to me
well, i'll be at my station all night
so come on by if you feel like
still here if you want me
look at what i can do with empty time
a lost love that likes to haunt me
it's waiting around to meet me when i die
death surrounds.. protects the living
this is what you said and i agreed
not to be unforgiving
just because your soul is untimely free
cause i'm here if you want me, my love
dancing on the highway
but your sun still burns my eye
oh why?
oh why?
i found some rare elliott smith downloads today..
that made me cry..
it made my lonely day...
stained glass eyes
people sink your boat
when you cut a tragic figure
they drink their lemonade
and throw you a line..
boil your problem down
to yes and no, what’s the matter?
they bomb your promenade
and this makes it shine
so you must play the comic
if they want one
and describe their moment
when they’re in one..
people pass you by
passing up the chance to know you
they're irregular
in the usual way..
you should crack a smile
once in a while, it makes you pretty
it makes you wanna give
them a piece of your mind..
but they can’t be people
not if i’m one
if i have to be like them
i’d rather be no one
couldn’t make the scene
not with all the people looking
all these connoisseurs
on guard all the time..
rather spend the day
blank as hell by the window
looking out of my
stained glass eyes...
