Tour Van Music #10 "I'm glad you're not like us and by us I mean everyone in the world who isn't you"

Best birthday song ever?

You waited for Saturday
And waited for my birthday
And most of us probably
Expect even less than that
And I'm glad you're not like us
And by us I mean everyone in the world who isn't you

All this time
I thought was mine
Your proximity made
When boredom comes
It won't be long
Before I sing to you
There's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can say
To make my problems go away
Or to make me do the same

From the outside
My ideas
Pour me outside
Bottled feeling
For a mountain
Marbled ceiling
Commence the healing

Tour Van Music #9 "Into that secret place where no one dares to go"

When you were young
You were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

And this is the room
One afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go

Tour Van Music #8 "Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past"

If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier
She left here last early Spring, is livin' there, I hear
Say for me that I’m all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I’ve forgotten her, don’t tell her it isn’t so

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill
And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free
Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I’ve never gotten used to it, I’ve just learned to turn it off
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
If she’s passin’ back this way, I'm not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time

Tour Van Music #7 "Why don't you just say my name"

Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright ?
Much to discover
I know you don't have the time but
Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright ?
Oh my sweet thing
Oh my honey thighs
Give me your troubles
I'll keep them with mine
Take at your leisure
Take whatever you can find but
Oh my sweet thing
Don't you know it's alright ?
It's alright
It's alright
There's no time
So it's alrigh-igh-ight
What's that color
Forming around your eyes
Once my lover
Tell me that it's alright
Just another
Before you go...go away
Oh my lover
Why don't you just say my name ?
And it's alright
Say it's alright
There's no time

Life on The road reality #4

Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?

The National - Pink Rabbits par dm_518cf499416b7

I couldn't find quiet
And I went out in the rain
I was just soakin' my head to unrattle my brain
Somebody said you disappeared in a crowd
I didn't understand then
I don't understand now

Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?
Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?

And everybody was gone
You were standin' in the street 'cause you were tryin' not to crack up
It wasn't like a rain it was more like a sea
I didn't ask for this pain, it just came over me
I love a storm, but I don't love lightning
All the waters coming up so fast, that's right

Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?
Am I the one you think about when you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking pink rabbits?

And everybody was gone
I was standing in the street 'cause I was trying not to crack

I was solid gold
I was in the fight
I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin
I couldn't see you coming so far
I just turn around and there you are

I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
You always said I held you way too high off the ground

You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in a park
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart

And everybody was gone
You were standin' in the street cause you were trying not to crack up
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sun kicks out
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sun kicks out

You said it would be painless
The needle in the dark
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all
You said it would be painless
The needle in the dark
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all (when the sun kicks out)

You said it would be painless
The needle in the dark (when the sun kicks out)
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all

I Bet We're Still On The Same Wavelength

65 days at the wheel, no one in the rearview mirror
dived within your soul for a while, scared to dive within my own
with the couple of bucks that i have left, tried to reach you on the payphone
Six Years, not a word between us, i bet we're still on the same wavelength

infinite skyline
time to draw your own

It's been 65 days hanging out, can't get rid of the voices
Let's try deeper in the northeast rain, further in the random drives
Vanishing at dawn is ok, break away if it gets heavy
dived within your soul for a while, scared to dive within my own


infinite skyline
time to draw your own

Unwrite my name on every page, unbounded provinces ahead
 I have been chasing  for the feeling  that multiplies the innocence
should i go deeper in this state, for i have nothing left to lose
i need to dive within your soul so i can disappear from sight

We kissed goodbye and drank up, some mouths before our tongues

 Drive on
Drive on
The highway's bright and long
The river's overflowing
The houses burning down

Drive on
Drive on
The engine hums along
We kissed goodbye and drank up
Some mouths before our tongues
We kissed goodbye and drank up
I'll miss you when you're gone

So throw me a line
So throw me a line
…
The windows are shaking and so are my bones
The world's going round
Throw me a rope

The trumpet and trombone
Still echoing in the hall
And bells ringing along the dam

So hang onto me
Hang onto me
The world's going round
And time's cutting out
The headlights are stinging all over the road
Throw me a rope
Throw me a rope

I knew you when I was young
…
I wish you were still along
I waited a long time
All for you
I waited a long time
I lost you

I was sleeping in the backseat
When I got home
…
I lost you
