Well I'm changing all my strings I'm gonna write another traveling song About all the billion highways and the cities at the break of dawn Well I guess the best that I can do now is pretend that I've done nothing wrong And to dream about a train that's gonna take me back where I belong Well now the ocean speaks and spits and I can hear it from the interstate And I'm screaming at my brother on a cell phone he's far away I'm saying nothing in the past or future ever will feel like today Until we're parking in an alley Just hoping that our sh** is safe So I go back and forth forever All my thoughts they come in pairs Oh I will, I won't, I doubt I don't I'm not surprised but I never feel quite prepared Now I'm hunched over a typewriter I guess you call that painting in a cave And there's a word I can't remember And a feeling I cannot escape And now my ashtray's overflowing I'm still staring at a clean white page Oh and morning's at my window She is sending me to bed again Well I dream of dark on the horizon I dream a desert where the dead lay down I dream a prostituted child touching an old man in a fast food crowd Oh yeah, I dreamt a ship was sinking There was people screaming all around And I awoke to my alarm clock It was a pop song, it was playing loud So I will find my fears and face them Or I will cower like a dog I will kick and scream or kneel and plead I'll fight like hell to hide that I've given up
