So I said I'm on the roam so I need a carAnd I know that I'm getting aliveAnd I say I got faith and a seasonAnd I say that's where I'm going to
I get a need and I'm wanting to please itI gotta face and I'm wanting to feel itThe more I feel is the more that I need itThe more I need is the less I believe it
Well I want a good love by my sideKeep on getting out of love and my prideAnd I know I keep hurting my love yeahBut I know it ain't killing
I get a need and I'm wanting to please itI gotta face and I'm wanting to feel itThe more I feel is the more that I need itThe more I need is the less I believe it
So I said I'm on the roam so I need a carAnd I know that I'm staying aliveAnd I know that my faith is in seasonAnd I say that's where I'm going to
I get a need and I'm wanting to please itI gotta face and I'm wanting to feel itThe more I feel is the more that I need itThe more I need is the less I believe it
I get a need and I'm wanting to please itI gotta face and I'm wanting to feel itThe more I feel is the more that I need itThe more I need is the less I believe it

Sonny signed his name up for tomorrowAnd laughed with all his friendsAt all the little men who borrow tunesThey heard just yesterdayDavey got us down but we got awayAnd drank to all the daysThat we had whiled awayJust playing Robin Hood a little out of phase
And then the nightmares comeAnd you get blown awayAnd up in your room your walls are coldYou find your head is holding outFor the welcome of a better dayAnd then the nightmares comeAnd you get blown awayAnd up in your room your walls are getting colderLike you're getting on a roller coasterYou can't find the breaks
Stevie burned the sky when he flew awayAnd left us things to sayWhen all the world was falling downAround our shoulders, cold and greyHarry carried on in his usual wayAnd Minnie went insideHe came out once and we both criedAnd Minnie blew my head away
And then the nightmares comeAnd you get blown awayAnd up in your room your walls are coldYou find your head is holding outFor the welcome of a better dayAnd then the nightmares comeAnd you get blown awayAnd up in your room your walls are getting colderLike you're getting on a roller coasterYou can't find the breaks
When you're giving everything awayEverybody lets you payYou're saving up for a better daySeeing things in a better wayWhen you know you've got to liveThere's nothing you won't giveTo hear the phone and not let it ringEvery Monday morningShughie found love and he almost criedWe laughed and wondered whyWe loved the sky and found the spaceAnd gazed out over Stevie's place
And then the nightmares comeWhen your friends go awayAnd up in your room your walls are coldYou find your head is holding outFor the welcome of a better dayAnd then the nightmares comeAnd you get blown awayAnd up in your room your walls are getting colderLike you're getting on a roller coasterYou can't find the breaks

Where do you go buttoned in your favourite coatStepping out to a different worldAnd you might be home lateAnd where are you nowStaring at your favourite boxThe one with the traveller's crossOn the road past the gate
But if you find yourself standing on the cornerWhile you're thinking of a different worldThen you might see me waiting on the cornerStaring through you in your different world
And if I could swimThen I'd get out and find my boatSail away to my favourite coastAnd let you all inAnd if I could do all the things you're asking forThen maybe I'd find your doorAnd bring it home to you
But if you find yourself standing on the cornerWhile you're thinking of a different worldThen you might see me waiting on the cornerStaring through you in your different world
So where do we goLike two Christophers in the snowYeah we're blind but we want to knowJust to say I love youAnd all of our livesWe'll sail through the suns and moonsTo sing our travellers tuneJust to say I love you
But if you find yourself standing on the cornerWhile you're thinking of a different worldThen you might see me waiting on the cornerStaring through you in your different world

I don't want to be another big star Picking at your cars Stealing at your clothes Finding out what you don't know You don't know
I don't want to be your big star Picking your calls; saying I don't know I don't want to be your suitor Lacking at your feet Trying to love the things you need
And you know I've heard this before And you know I've heard it some more Won't you give me a chanceTo break down your door But I sit Oh Oh I still sit here
I don't want to be a tailor Pricking at your thumb Washing all the tears away Some words Oh no I believe they don't feel you Picking up your dirt And Washing your dreams away
And you know I've heard this before And you know I've heard it some more Won't you give me a chanceTo break down your door But I sit Oh Oh I still sit here

She nails down moon beams And talks in double time Stumbling down to wherever she goes I live in the meantime And I get frustrated So I put my wager on Debris Road
It keeps me running down Debris Road I'm not scared but it's somewhere I cling toAll the places I (still) wanna go They won't cast a shadow on my Debris Road
I get frustrated looking for moonbeamsThey always fall where I never go'Cause I like the daylight and I like a good lifeRunning so fast down Debris Road
It keeps me running down Debris Road I'm not scared but it's somewhere I cling toAll the places I (still) wanna go They won't cast a shadow on my Debris Road
Someone got moonfaced and someone gets tearful Talking so much that they really don't know Sitting up all night singing songs 'till daylight Striking a match with the devil below
It keeps me running down Debris Road I'm not scared but it's somewhere I cling toAll the places I wanna go They won't cast a shadow on my Debris Road

Before I let you all goBefore I pull you from this showBefore I wave to youI'd like to say to youI wish you never to be alone
Besides yourself what can you sayMillions apart and miles awayBesides yourself what do you needSome feel no pain while others bleed
So if you're going to save my wordsMake sure it's this time you deserveBefore I walk awayI know your every dayWill play before you on it's own
Besides yourself what can you sayMillions apart and miles awayBesides yourself what do you needSome feel no pain while others bleed
And I'm not saying I'm not saying any wrong by youAnd I'm not saying I'm not talking my time for you
Besides yourself what can you sayMillions apart and miles awayBesides yourself what do you needSome feel no pain while others bleedBesides yourself

And when she blows the candle flame to smokeShe says a prayer for all those who live in houses and in homesAnd Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the roadYou may know what I amBut who I am you don't know
She'll run across the mustard dust sandScream down the windAnd the sea is in and coldLike when in holiday homesAnd houses like sweets confectionaryAnd sandcastles and drinking wineHungry dinners perfectly timed
And mother and father glowing youngHappy to be each other togetherWhen she blows the candle outShe goes to bed and lies and drags through her headThe day that went the way of every dayBut tomorrow she'll fly a planeOver the fields where the houses aren't built yet
She smiled sweetly across the roomThrough the lunchtime smokeAnd I loved her for a secondAnd discarded the queen and I knowHow sweetness turns sourAnd leaves they turn to brownAnd then to earth and dustAnd settle in this townTo get blown away, to get blown away, to get blown away
And when she blows the candle flame to smokeShe says a prayer for all those who live in houses and in homesAnd Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the roadYou may know what I amBut who I am you don't know
She'll run across the mustard dust sandScream down the windAnd the sea is in and coldLike when in holiday homesAnd houses like sweets confectionaryAnd sandcastles and drinking wineHungry dinners perfectly timed
She smiled sweetly across the lunch time smokeAnd I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I knowWhen men are being little boys againAnd women cruel step mothers of oldAnd this is the inventionThe adventure of my ownI get blown away, I get blown away...

Tele he's the one he knows what to say Knows how to find his own way He knows the roads by night and by doorways But watching the light in a hall Won't change a thing or say at all What it is that he says
Still he says that I don't knowStill he says that I don't know
I don't why I think about so much When I don't know what it is I can't say But I wouldn't change a thing if I believe you all And scream it in your face
Still I'd say hey I don't knowStill I'd say hey I don't know
Tele deals the cards and draws an ace And finds himself miles away Where skies ain't bruised by towers and fumes Children ain't too young to play Would I change a thing I'd change it all But we're born different days
Still I'd say hey I don't knowStill I'd say hey I don't know
I don't why I think about so much When I don't know what it is I can't say But I wouldn't change a thing if I believe you all And scream it in your face
Would I change a thing I'd change it all when I'm miles awayWould I change a thing I'd change it all but we were born on different days
I'd change a thingI'd change it all when I'm miles away...

I think everybody's after meThey want to know just what I feelPushing wires under my noseEverybody's standing on my toesTelling the world what I should know
You said you'd seen life from near the floorYou opened every closing door
Thank you for always being thereAnd all the nights in which we sharedAnd we know we're always there
If it ever gets you downYou know I'll always be aroundCos too much just aint enough
[whistle]
We, we who are your propertyWhose every single move you seeWe don't mind your prying eyesWe don't mind all your liesOr the headlines that you write
