lyrics

i'm not a lady
and i'm not a lover
i am just a stray
and i found your covers
and we twist and tangle
and you call me little
then you lifrt me easily
but its non cmmital
cuz we're both just roadies
for a dying county
your hands full of flyiers
my feet in the mud
and they can call us artists
or they can call us junkies
but we're not together
no we're in this alone.
this was not my daydream
no mine was golden
i think i was flying
from these fields of snow
yet still we wake here
and we shake the winter
and we don't feel as lonesome
and we don't feel as cold


but now your scratching through your skin again
pointing fingers at the government
finding loopholes through the shit your in
all the while you keep so quiet
and your crosswords looking empty
from the words you will nt mention
i would write them on the table
but never could keep your attention
though i'm still trying


and there once was magic
up in your bedroom
and you let it course through
my shaking hands
as we swore to nothing
and we traced the shaddows
and there was no countryside
and there was no land
now i wish the ocean
would roll it's waters
over all your problems
turn them smooth like seaglass
but you whisper darling
if you crave the highway
then you stay put long enough
oh the world does the opposite


but if you wake up in the morning
and your face has gotten dirty
so you wash down all your mirrors
well it seldom changes anything
still you feel more lost than ever
and you say its not your fault
its this damn miserable weather
but its the rain in which your caught,
in which your caught


you say your heard the sirens
and you saw the flashing
drew up all your curtains
while the world was sleeping
there in your boxer shorts
you lioked like a maniac
stuffing up your pillow case
trying to hide the evidence
did they make things difficult
tie your feet to snowshoes
leave you in the sunlight
with a feild to run through
or did they just say settle
stop your mind from racing
learn to dream like the rest of us
stop your feet from pacing


and i had finally left the riverside
learned to drink from my two hands again
i was winning my own fool's game
i'd forgotten how the feeling felt
i stood proudly in my dirty clothes
justa blacksmith in the bakery
should have never caught your golden eyes
all i ever catch are refugees
but the courtroom wasn't cold
and the judge let you off easy
you sat there with your arms folded
at the time it was just boring
and outside it didn't snow
your not sleeping on a cot tonight
no your with a girl who loves you
you can finally shut your eyes
you can shut your eyes,
you can shut your eyes
