lyrics

Darling you're sitting so terribly close
I'm close to the end and could use a fresh dose
Rain falls so hard I think the roof will cave in
I'm making the tea and dreaming of sin
I'm hoping for mercy
And watching TV
And tired of the eyes that all seem to watch me
I'm doing my bit
For the good of mankind
I'm all polished up and my songs are all shined
Been walking for years
My hound at my side
Through grass grown so tall
Through skies that just cry
And I nod at the strangers
That all seem to know
To keep out of the way
Of me and my shadow
There's one more conversation
I'm saved from today
I hear they all love me
But I don't know their names
And surely you know me
Too well to be nervous
They all got a plan
But they ain't got no purpose

It all makes sense to me
I think I'm the only one
That's dodging the bullets
And chasing the sun
It might seem cliched, dumb and irresponsible
But the road keeps on going
And I am unstoppable
I hear them calling
The train'll stop here soon
I've been waiting so long
Since April or June
Time's drifting by
Like it's got no agenda
And I'm sifting lies
From the mouth of the sender

Im staring out the window
And sleeping too heavy
And remembering a boy
With a fucked up old Chevy
He'd take his hands from the wheel
Just to get a reaction
Slipping on tyres that ain't got no traction

I'm drifting, I'm drifting
I'm drifting along
I'm drifting away in the arms of a song
My eyes are half open
I'm shoving through crowds
They're throwing their heads back
And laughing out loud
At jokes I don't get
People I don't know
I gotta start walking to make the next show
I've got a condition
I've got a disease
It's called rock'n'roll fever
And its got me on my knees

They're calling my name
And I gotta follow
The lines are so long
And the dreams are so hollow
Its hard to keep up
And run with my brothers
When I'm walking through fields
And dreaming of others
Pledging my soul, pledging my soul
Listening for soldiers on highway patrol

I gotta go now
Tend to the wounded and milk the poor cow
I'm falling, I'm falling
Its like a disease
Hits like a hammer
And slips in like a breeze

Come on you know me
I don't stand on ceremony
I'll wait at your door
But I won't ride your pony
They're calling, they're calling
And I gotta go
I gotta plug in and prepare for the show
