1.
If you’re always running off from somewhere, Getting out of nowhere, chasing your breath again. I was going gentle into that good night, I didn’t rage, rage against the dying of the light. If it takes forever, if you get far out, If it’s now or never or over and out.
2.
The stars looked like hollow jewels, I saw the moon reflected in shallow pools, And when you least expect it, it’ll come to you, Out of the dark, out of the blue. All alone in the summer rain, It’s no different but it’s not the same All day and all of the night, Space junk, satellites. Eden and Love Not Money, Never Understand and Just Like Honey And when you least expect it, it’ll come to you, Out of the dark, out of the blue.
3.
Caught a ride with a whirling dervish, All the way there I was tense and nervous. She had a sense of senseless purpose, Said she was deep and on the surface. You can’t go on, you can’t go back. You gotta have a heart to have a heart attack. Caught a ride on a whirling tornado, Ended up in Juarez, all the way from Laredo. How did I get here? How can I get back? To Candy-O and Get The Knack?
4.
Animal Stone 02:09
You’ve got the mind of a criminal And the conscience of a saint. You know I can’t predict the weather, But I think it looks like rain. One after 909. Space, time. You’ve got the instincts of an animal And the patience of a stone. How come I keep on hearing noises If I’m here alone?
5.
The weather’s getting wild, The streets are a mess. The light’s gone out of the sky, Storm’s coming, I guess. I know you who are, But you don’t look the same. I’d know you anywhere, You’re the madman in the rain.
6.
Airwaves 02:01
You were falling through the airwaves, Coming into view on the staircase, I’m certain it was you, I saw your face, Out of space and time. There’s a sound in November, Rolling like a cloud, glowing like an ember, It’s something you forgot and won’t remember Until next time. So goodbye and good luck I hope things turn out alright, Where you’re going, In the morning, in the light. So goodbye and good luck I hope things turn out alright, Where you’re going, In the gloaming, in the night.
7.
Joan of Arc, I put the fire out, But beware of sparks. It’s a lost art playing Name That Tune, While whistling in the dark. Don’t sail into summer in a listing boat, Don’t lower the drawbridge on an empty moat. You’re only lonely, You’re only lonely again. Don’t stand in the way of a moving train, Don’t trip over clouds when you dance for rain. You’re only lonely, You’re only lonely again.
8.
Somehow, somewhere, emerging out of thin air, I dove down, plumbed the deaths, I was running out of breath. Fell into a dream state of open doors and sealed fates. The lonely road narrows, among the saints and pharaohs Paved with bones and marrow Somehow, somewhere, emerging out of thin air, I dove down, plumbed the deaths, I was running out of breath. You flew like a broken arrow, Grew like a seed, dropped by a sparrow.
9.
Have you heard the lonesome sound? Or stood alone in a crowd? With the wind at your back and the sun in your eyes, When you hear a bell ring an angel just died. Tried to join a ping-pong club, But the sign on the door read ‘All full up.’ With the wind at your back and the sun in your eyes, When you hear a bell ring an angel just died. Alive, alive, alive. We’re still alive. It's never too late to say it's too late. What's your sell-by expiration date?
10.
Someone should’ve warned me, Someone could’ve informed me, That everything turns to dust. A simple fyi, Would have sufficed, Saying everything turns to dust. It was in my spam folder, I should’ve checked it before I got older, It said everything turns to dust.
11.
I’m not afraid of dying, But I’m afraid of being dead I throw the curtains back in the morning And at night I stay in bed. Jealous boy fell asleep to white noise, Woke up dreaming in the rain, Fade to black, got to get back To where I started again. I’m not afraid of dying, But I’m afraid of being dead I throw the curtains back in the daylight And at night I stay in bed.
12.
Dead Gone 02:27
Dead and gone, you know life won’t last long I’ve heard it’s the way of the world All along, from darkness ‘til dawn I’ve heard it’s the way of the world
