lyrics

I’VE BEEN LIVING IN A WISHING WELL
SINCE CIRCUMSTANCES STOPPED WISHING ME WELL
WAITING ON THE DAY WHEN YOU’LL TURN BACK MY WAY
AND WE CAN TURN BACK THE TIME
EVERY DAY THAT THE ROOSTER CROWS
EVERY NIGHT THAT THE WIND BLOWS
I CONFESS I ELECT TO REDIRECT
MY THOUGHTS FROM WHERE THEY WANT TO GO

NOW I’M MOVING THROUGH THE STAGES OF A FINE AFTERNOON
BUT I’M STARING DOWN AN EVENING WITH NOTHING MUCH TO DO
AND THAT’S WHEN I’M IN DANGER OF THINKING OF YOU

MAKE COFFEE, CHECK THE WEATHER
THEN CHECK THE WEATHER BACK HOME
I MISS EVERYONE BUT I’M NOT COMING BACK
JUST WANT TO KNOW WHEN IT SNOWS
I WISH I COULD SEE ME FROM UP ABOVE
LIKE A FLYING KITE
TRY AS I MAY I CAN NOT DISPEL
SUSPICIONS THAT YOU MIGHT’VE BEEN RIGHT

THAT I’M ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR THE THING THAT’S RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE
THAT I’M LOOKING FOR A RAINBOW WHILE I’M PISSING IN A POT OF GOLD
AND THAT’S WHEN I’M IN DANGER OF MISSING YOU
CALIFORNIA’S NICE BUT IT'S TRUE THAT IT KILLS
IF THE EARTHQUAKES DON’T GET YOU, THE LANDLORDS WILL THEY GAVE AMNESTY FOR HIPPIES LONG AGO BUT IS THERE MERCY HERE STILL?
I SAT DOWN TO WRITE A LETTER
THAT BEGAN WITH SOME CRAZY DREAM I HAD
I WAS PLAYING PIANO AT THE HOTEL SAINT REGIS
IN A WEDDING BAND WITH YOUR DAD

AND THEN I SAID I LOVE YOU IN THAT CLASSIC KIND OF WAY THAT JUST DOESN’T DIE
IT JUST ROLLS ON AND ON, CREEPING TOWARDS THE END OF TIME
AND THAT’S WHAT FEELS IN DANGER OF BEING TRUE

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks. duskbringer
