(+) We Made Among Us Sounds Into a Song
Somebody screaming
on Jim Jeffries' dreams
Exploding into a black fist
and falls to the floor
He stares up at the sky
and he may wish he knew why
But you can't go back there no more
The future sounds so crazy
we all heard that song before
Tomorrow's a name that changed
from yesterday to blame
When a train just
don't stop here anymore
I got starry eyed on a coaster ride
Andy said, "Man, I need a break
from the world outside"
And these days my life just
careens through a pinball machine
I could do so much better but
I can't get off the tilt
There's a photograph
on a TV, black and white
Andy says something to you
Jack Johnson
straddling Reno, Nevada like
She says I forget
myself sometimes, too
But out past the doorways
where we are sleeping
Well, the white queen's creeping
the time cat's beeping
Now I'm not breaking
the train's just shaking
I never made it here before
And there's a wide mouth
spinning the girls around
Till they can't take it any more
I used to dream in the dark
in Palisades Park
Up over the cliffs
and down among the spark
It's a long life full of long nights
But it's not what I was waiting for
Everybody's seen the horses
driving down the shore
It's a miracle they
don't make them anymore
So make up ladies
oh wake up baby
You walked into the
bar like some Saturday star
Studs straight on spiked heels
and needles and nerves
And you're a downtown pride
fully amplified Clyde
Gin-tied and Asian
but well preserved
Remember Annie outside
your bedroom window
Saying, "Come on
let's drive across to the Palisades"
Keep going till we hit Reno, Nevada
I don't see it all that much these days
Still there are pages
in back of the action stacks
Where the white queen's creeping
the time cat's beeping
The train's not breaking
the track's just shaking
I never made it here before
And there's a sky rocket
turning the world around
But still I can't take it any more
And you carry that spark from Palisades Park
Down over the cliffs and out into the dark
It's a long life full of long nights
But it's not what I was looking for
Everyone dreams
of horses flying round the shore
It's a bad dream
we're not having anymore
Man, have you seen Andy?
Hey man, hey man
have you seen him around?
Hey man, have you seen
my my my my my Andy?
Hey man, have you seen
him, have you seen him
Have you seen him
have you seen him?
Hey, have you seen Andy around?
Dressed up in a pirate vest
all leathers and feathers and pearls
Andy said, "Look at me
man, I'm cooking
These hands are gonna
figure out this whole world"
He said, "Come outside
climb out your bedroom window
Shimmy down the fire escape
and say goodbye
Come outside," Andy says
"I'm dressed up just like Edie
Changing all the time
my leopard spots to polka dots
just say goodbye
Come outside, where maybe
we can move to California
Just meet me at the subway
and say goodbye
Come outside, the cops
all think we're crazy
If you steal, you'll just get married
To a girl who'll never know you
and then say goodbye"
Hey man, have you seen Andy?
I lost her in the cirque
I was high as a kite
on a lovely and white
Man, you can lose anyone
Hey, hey man, have you seen Andy?
I don't know where she's gone
Real love outlives teenage lust
Oh, we could get wet
and it keeps us warm
Love is like angel dust
Lovely sometimes changes us
Sometimes we're not
Have you been aching
with trust or just
Have you been waking
yourself with lust?
Have you been making us up
or just taking us home?
It's a long wait and a long life
Cars frozen in flight
All the traffic stops to stare
At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada
Where nothing but air
and a pair of gray paper wings
Andy thinks
"Man, I have got nothing to wear"
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
