(Mike on lead) I started out a little tightly wound Like a rocket shot up out of frozen ground Dirt in my nails, a forest in my head Seems like every message I got said Burn it, Break it She took me in like a broken bird In a moonlit house in a single word We built a cave, or was it a nest? She did all the driving and all the rest, but (All) I'm not there at all Though I shall recall What she said to me On her doorstep (Mike) She likes my dad, he knows Gordy Howe He had such a temper, guess who's got it now (The following two lines are in the song, but do not appear in the liner notes) Watch me explode as we misunderstand Everything that's said on this fiber optic strand
(All) I'm not here at all Thoug I shall recall What she said to me On her doorstep (All) When I get back we'll dip our cup Into the fountain of youth We'll rest our heads and raise a toast To the sunset's beautiful truth (Mike) I lit a fire by the tracks last night Bounced it off the moon Hoping you'd call soon To this phonebook state Where I've been stuck up late Felt just like an a** when I broke that gla** (All) I'm not there at all But I will recall What she said to me On her doorstep From the Liner: (Mike-piano, lead vocal; Murray-ba**, vocal; Jean-drums, vocal; David-guitar, vocal)
