Gone
I asked her where was the good stuff and she said gone gone gone
I said how soon til we get some more she said a long long time
I said I'm goin' round to get some cigarettes
I haven't made it to the drug store yet
Next thing I know I'm on my way to Tibet
Now I'm Gone
I stood on top of the mountain lookin down down down
Hangin out with the monks you know I felt like such a clown
They took me up into the airport in Kashmir
I found enlightenment somewhere in my second year
Closed my eyes and let the world just disappear
I was gone gone gone
Don't even know what planet I'm on
I'll get back to you sometime but I'm just nodding off right now
Baby I'm gone
I'm wakin up in Nevada with nothin but the sand and stars
lookin’ down at my shadow I saw myself, oh lord
I thought I saw you but it’s only a mirage
I guess I’m just another car in her garage
She calls it loves but it’s just camouflage
She’s gone gone gone
Don't even know what planet I'm on
I'll get back to you sometime but I'm just nodding off right now
Baby I'm gone
… asked her where was the good stuff and she said gone gone gone
I said you’re holdin’ out and she said wrong wrong wrong
I said you know I went around the world for you
She said you know I’d really like to think that could be true
I shrugged my shoulders and I grabbed my shoes
And I was gone gone gone
Don't even know what planet I'm on
I'll get back to you sometime but I'm just nodding off right, right now
I asked her where was the good stuff and she said gone gone gone
Another Time Back to top
You sit there quiet drawing on your cigarette
Safe behind your smoke
Oh we go back too far
Too much to forget
To many dreams broken
And I want you much more than I should
Another time
Cause I know you could make me feel real good
Another time Another time
You drink as if the alcohol did nothing
But sterilize your mouth
You say lets do it now
They give me something
Before the sun arrives
And I love you better than I should
Another time
Cause I know you could make me feel real good
But not this time, some other time
Oh, in your ocean, now I’m sinking like a stone
Lying here next to you I’ve never felt so all alone
Now you show a sense of humor in your cruelty
It’s falling on your face
Your body, cold and beautiful, like jewelry
I need to disappear
And I hope goodbye is understood
Another time
Cause I know you won’t make me feel good
Another time
Still I want you much more than I should
Another time
Another time
To See All Back to top
I see you in dreamland
you wear a thousand faces
Woman by the river
Little brown skinned girl
You seem like you know me
There’s never conversation
Scenery keeps changing
And I lose you in this world
To see all To see all
I need to be in your life
And to feel something more than I feel today
I hear you in real life
as if behind the curtain
A distant singing wavelength
Crackles through the air
Scared I might lose you
The circle might be broken
Deliver me the language
Say you always will be there
To see all To see all
I need to be in your life
And to feel something more than I feel today
Need you to tell me
The reasons why I’m searching
Cause everything that I believe
Always seems to die
Need you beside me
Voice inside the music
Fever in my spirit
Diamond in my eye
To see all To see all
I need to be in your life
And to feel something more than I feel today
Wide Awake Back to top
Ah sleep deep inside you head
The covers in your bed will protect you from the cold and soulless living dead
Sleep perchance to dream a pretty new machine
Its blue and green pastoral scenes untouched by angry red
Immune from all you can’t explain
You’re hiding out behind your brain
Well I wanna knock you through the wall
As loud as I can get
Its all for one and all
Sounds you won’t forget
I know your secret choice
The pain that you can’t take
I slept there as a boy
but now I’m wide awake
ah please, please remember me
as someone left us saying
it shakes your trees
gravity inspires you now
the world has come apart
loud encroaching dark
like the angry spark
has started a thousand fires for you
but once again the message says
remember that you were my friend
Well I wanna knock you through the wall
As loud as I can get
Its all for one and all
Sounds you won’t forget
I know your secret choice
The pain that you can’t take
I slept there as a boy
but now I’m wide awake
now I’m wide awake
Next To Nothing Back to top
You don’t have to go
Wish that you could stay a little longer
I don’t have the nerve to tell you
So I’ll watch you walk away once again
You’ll never know
You’ll just carry on like nothings happened
I’m just another guy, that’s all
You will never see me as more than a friend
To you I’m next to nothing
And there’s nothing I can say or do
To show you’ve I’ve got next to nothing but love for you
You don’t have to stay
don’t have to hang around if you don’t want to
I will understand
If you have somewhere better that you’d rather be now
To you I’m next to nothing
And there’s nothing I can say or do
To show you’ve I’ve got next to nothing but love for you
Sometimes I get so close to letting my feeling out
Then the fear kicks, in filling my head with doubt
Just your love is another thing I’ll live without
To you I’m next to nothing
And there’s nothing I can say or do
To show you’ve I’ve got next to nothing but love for you
You don’t have to go
Wish that you could stay a little longer
I don’t have the nerve to tell you
So I’ll watch you walk away once again
Anything You Say Back to top
Hanging off the edge of the world
On a telephone line
Haven’t lost my abandon heart
To a particular girl
When she told me the world
I can’t believe that I heard them
Really want to see you today
Tell me where or when
baby anything you say
Counting every house on the street
Driving round in my car
And the world seem s so far away
She know a place we can meet
Where there’s nobody else
I can be myself
Really want to see you today
Tell me where or when
baby anything you say
anything you say anything you say
Sitting on the top of that hill
When she told me I could be
the stars and the sky tonight
and I will be up there still
But my moment arrived
just pulled me out of her arms
Really want to see you today
Tell me where or when
baby anything you say
anything you say anything you say
anything you say yeah!
Dance Lessons Back to top
I could see the music
Hear the sound
So what am I doing standing still
while the world goes up and down
I’ve always kind of wanted to
But never too a chance
So why don’t you come over
And show me how to dance
So why don’t you come over
Teach me how to dance
Never found the rhythm
Guess the beat just passed me by
I was wandering around without a destination
Living high to high
That’s oil down the pipeline
I just caught your latest glance
So why don’t you come over
And show me how to dance
So why don’t you come over
Teach me how to dance
I’ve staggered I’ve sauntered
I’ve run hard for my life
I’ve walked off miles down the white line
With nothing but a ten spot and a knife
I’ve mastered all the motions that require no elegance
So why don’t you come over
And show me how to dance
Why don’t you come over
Teach me how to dance
Why don’t you come over
I wanna know how to dance
Dig Down Deep Back to top
Well alright
You’re not answering your door
not taking phone calls anymore
I kind of miss you hangin round
I never seen you this far down
Won’t ya dig down deep
Come on it’s in ya
Dig down deep
Don’t you hide
Dig down deep
Cause I love ya
Dig down deep
Its alright (Cause I love ya)
You told some truths you told some lies
Told some big ones in your time
I’ve been there too, I sympathize
I didn’t face my fears and doubts, the things we never talk about
They ate me up and spat me out!
Won’t ya dig down deep
Come on it’s in ya
Dig down deep
Don’t you hide
Dig down deep
Cause I love ya
Dig down deep
deep inside
hear me pounding on your wall
I’ll just keep pounding till it falls
Might as well just come outside
Here I am arms open wide
Its not so bad here in the light
Won’t ya dig down deep
Come on, it’s in ya
Dig down deep
don’t you hide
Dig down deep
got your feelings
Dig down deep
deep inside
Off My Mind Back to top
Love, oh baby
Wish I knew just what you mean by that
Yes, no, maybe
It’s all changing at the drop of a hat
Take your time
Please don’t take too much more of mine
Cause if it’s not love, baby
Gotta get you off my mind
Smile that smile babe
Its amazing what that smile can say
Smile that smile babe
then ya turn around and walk away
I don’t mind if the world is not to clearly defined
But if it’s not love, then baby
Gotta get you off my mind
Hold me baby
tell me everythings ok
Hold me darling
say again the reason you won’t stay
I’d be fine if you could maybe think that you’d be mine
Since it’s not love, then baby
Gotta get you off my mind
Miss July Back to top
Miss July, I saw you in the sky
Didn’t you see me
Flat on my back in the tall tall grass
Would it be so strange
To pull you down from space
And tell you I love you
over and over and over again
Now that I’ve lived in your mind for a while
Show me the place that you feel
Now that the story is written come make it real
Miss July - Come make it real
Here you are, My early evening star
I’m at the window
Watching you climb through the deep blue sky
Have I seen your face on a high and windy place
Now that I’ve known you
Back when you went by another name
Think it was you in a dream that I had
You were standing in back of my chair
I knew it was you by the warmth and smell of your hair
Miss July - I felt you there
The grass is growing high around me
When I feel you so near, right here
Everything comes from the innocent girl
See how she gives and she takes
She is the painter who works in the world
And we are the circles she makes
You are the woman that lives in my mind
I am the child that solo’s
You are the sister who left me so long ago
Miss July - So long ago
On Earth Again Back to top
All my dreams
coming up to nothing
Now it seems
can’t even get to sleep in a bit
One of the lonely ones who never will touch down on earth again
5 AM
too many cups of coffee
Pretty words
never really mattered
One of the lonely ones who never will touch down on earth again
Don’t know how long I’ll be in orbit
Zero gravity I’m living
So if I fall on you while crashing
Forgive
If you see
My blip across your radar
Say my name
I’d like to think you’re out there
One of the lonely ones who never will touch down
