Somebody screaming on J
I'm 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
Everybody 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
I'm 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
