|
Hear the trucks on the highway, |
|
And the tickin' of the clocks |
|
There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, |
|
Bullet holes in the mailbox |
|
Bullet holes in the mailbox, |
|
Keyholes in my mind |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
I've fallin' behind |
|
She said won't you come see me, |
|
When the sun goes down |
|
It'll be just like the old days, |
|
When I used to let you hang around |
|
Well I don't know, |
|
I might not speak the language any more |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
I've closed some doors |
|
People in the village, |
|
Watch the children play |
|
At the sight of a stranger, |
|
They call the kids away |
|
Just leave that man alone, |
|
I hear the mothers say |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
What's made him that way |
|
I hadn't intended, |
|
To bend the rules |
|
Whiskey don't make liars, |
|
It just makes fools |
|
So I didn't mean to say it, |
|
But I meant what |
|
I saidToo long in the wasteland |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
Must have gone to my head |
|
Jet trails in the sunset, a long way awaycuttin' cross the horizon, |
|
At the edge of the day |
|
And it calls out to me, |
|
Come fly away, |
|
I've beenToo long in the wasteland |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
I believe |
|
I'll have to stay |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
Too long in the wasteland |
|
I'll have to stay |
|
There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon |
|
Bullet holes in the mailbox |
|
Bullet holes in the mailbox |
