wonderful

I’ll fake it through the day
with some help from johnny walker red
and the cold pain behind my eyes
that shoots back through my head
with two tickets torn in half
and a lot of nothing to do
but it’s alright cause some enchanted night, i’ll be with you
tarot cards and the lines in my hand
tell me i’m wrong but then untrue
got plans for both of us
that involved a trip out of town
to a place i’ve seen in a magazine
that you left lying around
i can’t hold my liquor but
i keep a good attitude
cause it’s alright some enchanted night, i’ll be with you
and though you’d rather see me gone
than to see this come the day
i’ll be waiting for you anyway
next door the tv’s flashing
blue frames on the wall
it’s a comedy from the 70’s
when the lead no one recalls
vanished into oblivion
it’s easy to do
and i cry to sleep when you talked to me
the day you said we were through
but it’s alright some enchanted night, ill be with you

lyrics all day

He waved hello silent like a mime
(remain?) there’s no changing my mind
i won’t walk the stairs with you tonight
going nowhere
the clock moved a quarter of a turn
the time it took a cigarette to burn
she said you got a lot of things to learn
going nowhere

saw you move a certain way
missed you a lot
return to this abandoned place
should a been forgot
echoes drown the conversation out
echoes that only seem to bring about
a silent expression
things you may allow
going nowhere

the steps made a pattern
i’d never seen
i felt like a kid of six or seventeen
i was off in some empty day dream
going nowhere
it’s dead and gone matter of fact
maybe for the best
said some things you can’t take back
honestly i guess

the old records
sitting on the floor
the ones i can’t
put on anymore
he walked over to her like before
going nowhere
going nowhere
going nowhere

I’d say you make a perfect
angel in the snow
all crushed out on the way you are
better stop before it goes too far
don’t you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
that fell down here to lay beside you

don’t you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
only a frozen still life
that fell down here to lay beside you
