|
The phone broke the silence |
|
Like the screaming of the siren |
|
and I just sat beside it |
|
took another drag on my cigarette |
|
swore I'd never smoke again |
|
and I watched the rain. |
|
Well I knew that it was you |
|
calling just to prove that |
|
you were as strong as you could be |
|
and you could get along without me anytime |
|
and anyway |
|
CHORUS: |
|
So I just stared though the door screen and I |
|
watched the cars come down the pike |
|
their lights against the sky |
|
like a drive in movie on a country road |
|
that I've seen before |
|
Never like the first time |
|
Blue lights on the dashboard |
|
songs on the radio |
|
oh and how are you to ever know |
|
how much I loved you so you thought that I |
|
was only dreaming |
|
What a suprise it must have been |
|
to realise I was one of them |
|
not a game with just the men |
|
not an angel only a friend |
|
and not someone that you could believe in |
|
*CHORUS* |
|
and out across the rugged hills |
|
the dust blows the wind wails |
|
sunbleached skulls and empty shells |
|
broken men with tales to tell |
|
and I would be one of them. |
|
And how are you to ever know |
|
how far it was gonna go |
|
you fall in love and that's the road |
|
you travel till you can't no more |
|
and then we just we turn around again |
|
*CHORUS* |
