Can't Get Away
I miss laying on the concrete floors
I miss the way it was before
No one even knew me
Your eyes look right through me
And I'm taking off your clothes
And you bloom like a rose
Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
Oh oh
Where the ocean meets the land
Is like the sliding of your hair
It prickles up my skin
I can feel the changing weather
I'm alone out on that coast
It sends memories of your ghost
Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
Oh oh oh
One thing that turns me off
One thing that trips me up
One thing...
One thing you'll never know
One thing I cannot show
One thing I'm never going
I go and walk alone
I found it on my own
I
I can't find release and
..
Don't know when I can go home
Through the airport corridors
See the magazines in stores
If I see that face once more
You know I can't ignore it
And I recognize that pose
When you bloom like a rose
Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
And with the government... another month away
Messed up places where we always stay
And it's funny that we always pick these spots
Even with the have and the have-nots
Sleeping on cots
Wishin' that I had some tater tots
And there's postcards written that I never send
The memories gone and won't come again
My the souls that find no peace
Still I look to you to find release, find release, find release
Sycophant
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
Angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain,
Through myself and back again.
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying.
Through the door, I hear her crying
Why? I don't know
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy
