I'm in love with someone that doesn't exist

Keep looking for them everywhere I go

I'm in love with something that doesn't get kissed

It doesn't exist

As far as I know

 

I'm in love with a face that I've never seen

Once upon a place long time ago

I'm in love with a time that never took place

That's easy to trace

As far as I know

And I know everything that I need to sing

I know everything

 

I'm in love with the sound that I never hear

As long as I watch your TV show

I'm in love with that girl that doesn't resist

That doesn't exist

As far as I know

 

As far as I know, the stars in the sky are dull

As far as I know, compared to your eyes only

As far as I know

 

I know everything I need to sing

I know everything

I erase the drums, that won't hurt me none

I'm in love with a dream I had as a kid

I wait up the street until you show

That dream it came true, but you never do

No you never did

As far as I know

 

 

 

"It's a dull, narrow town full of dull, narrow people who don't know anything except what things are like right around here. They have no perspective whatsoever, no scope. "

When they call your name

Will you walk right up

With a smile on your face

Or will you cower in fear

In your favorite sweater

With an old love letter

 

I wish you would

I wish you would

Come pick me up

Take me out

Fuck me up

Steal my records

Screw all my friends

They're all full of shit

With a smile on your face

And then do it again

I wish you would

 

When you're walking downtown

Do you wish I was there

Do you wish it was me

With the windows clear and the mannequins eyes

Do they all look like mine

 

You know you could

I wish you would

Come pick me up

Take me out

Fuck me up

Steal my records

Screw all my friends behind my back

With a smile on your face

And then do it again

I wish you would

 

I wish you'd make up my bed

So I could make up my mind

Try it for sleeping instead

Maybe you'll rest sometime

I wish I could

Destiny, destiny protect me from the world.

Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world.

Here we are with our running and confusion,

and I don't see no confusion anywhere.

 

And if the world does turn and if London burns,

I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar.

I want to be in a band when I get to heaven,

anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing any more.

 

Grow my hair, grow my hair, I am Jim Morrison,

grow my hair, I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Jim Morrison.

Here we are with our running and confusion,

and I don't see no confusion anywhere.

I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar.

my eyes are

a baptism

oh i am filth

and sing her

to my face

oh phantom elusive thing oh

 

all flowers in time bend towards the sun

i know you say that there's no-one for you

but here is one

all flowers in time bend towards the sun

i know you say that there's no-one for you

but here is one, here is one, here is one

 

aah, ooh

one that can never be known

either all drunk with the world at her feet

or sober with no place to go

 

all flowers in time bend towards the sun

i know you say that there's no-one for you

but here is one

all flowers in time bend towards the sun

i know you say that there's no-one for you

but here is one, here is one, here is one

 

aah, ooh

we could go

we can travel round

fading farther from me

with your face in my window call

 

when will you weep for me

sweet willow

 

it's ok to be angry

but not to hurt me

your happiness, yes, yes, yes

darling, darling

oooh

 

all flowers in time bend towards the sun

i know you say that there's no-one for you

but here is one

Let me in here, I know I've been here,

Let me into your heart.

Let me know you, let me show you,

Let me roll it to you.

All I have is yours,

All you see is mine

And I'm glad to have you in my arms,

I'd have you any time.

 

Let me say it, let me play it,

Let me lay it on you.

Let me know you, let me show you,

Let me grow it on you.

All I have is yours,

All you see is mine

And I'm glad to have you in my arms,

I'd have you any time.

 

Let me in here, I know I've been here,

Let me into your heart.

I'd have you any time.

Maybe I didn't love you

Quite as often as I could have

Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best

Girl I'm sorry I was blind

 

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

 

Maybe I didn't hold you

All those lonely, lonely times

And I guess I never told you

I'm so happy that you're mine

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

 

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

 

Tell me that your

Sweet love hasn't died

And give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

 

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind....

my dewey-eyed Disney bride what has tried

swapping your blood with formaldehyde?

Monsters?

Whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide!

Jesus don't you know that you coulda died

with the monsters what talk

monsters what walk the earth

she's got red lipstick

and a bright pair of shoes

knee high socks

what to cover a bruise

she's got an old death kit

she's been meaning to use

blood in her eyes in her eyes for you

she's got blood in her eyes for you

certain fads, stripes and plaids singles ads

run you hot and cold like a rheostat I mean a thermostat

so you bite on a towel

hope it won't hurt too bad

she says I like long walks and sci-fi movies

you're six foot tall and east coast bred

some lonely night we can get together

and I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather

and drill a tiny hole into your head

She walks with a bell-clock round her neck

So the hippies think she's in with time

Time...

Her hair glistens like robins on a deck

Branches attack me from her neck

She's so fine

She's so very very fine

The sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes

The rain from a tree soaks into her mind

Mind...

Morning sign sounds just like a lark

All these signs are always a start

She's so fine

She's so very very fine

When I veer I get so near

But so far far far away

Listen to me today

We united just beside a leaf

The ground was hard underneath her her

Ahhhahhh

She's so fine

Ahhhahhh

Whats the matter here?

You'll never repair

The lady's cursed with insight

 

You'll never fix her

With a cold stare

She's all broken inside

 

Her limbs clung to the ground

 

She closed the window

And made a pillow

And laid her head down

 

And as her babies slept she took a long deep breath

 

Now they're zipping her up in a bag

Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

And the Cadillac's waiting to take her away

Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

 

Another head cold

Another spirit old

In February

 

Her hair was dirty,

And she was thirty

In 1963

 

And while her babies slept she took a long deep breath.

 

Now they're zipping her up in a bag

Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

The Cadillac's waiting to take her away

Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

And drag

And drag

And drag

And drag

And drag

And drag

 

She made a good go

For a weeping willow

She stuffed some rags on the floor

 

She closed the window

She made a pillow

On the oven door

 

And took a long deep breath

While her babies slept

 

Now they're zipping her up in a bag

Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

And the Cadillac's waiting to take her away

Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

 

Zipping her up in a bag

Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

The Cadillac's waiting to take her away

Can you hear her blacks crackle and drag?

Hear her blacks crackle and drag?

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart

Beating close to mine

Pounding up against the cold and steel

Walls that I won't climb

Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep

You think that you're gonna drown

Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep

With all this rain falling down

Strange how hard it rains now

Rows and rows of big dark clouds

But I'm holding on underneath this shroud

Rain

It's hard to know when to give up the fight

The things you wanted that will never be right

It's never rained like it has toniht before

I don't want to beg you baby

For something maybe you could never give

I'm not looking for the rest of your life

I just want another chance to live

Strange how hard it rains now

Rows and rows of big dark clouds

But I'm holding on underneath this shroud

Rain

Better bring another bottle with you baby

If you really want to party then lets make it swing

Right into the morning.

Better bring another bottle with you baby

Cuz I really want to make this little bell ring.

Ding dong, ding.

 

I feel cold and I want to get you by my side

I feel bold and I want to show you how this man can ride.

I feel smooth and I really want to live it up

If we groove then I promise you that we won't even stop

 

Better bring another bottle with you baby

I get the feeling that you want to take off and fly

High, high, well if my ceiling isn't high enough

We'll burn up the sky.

I'm a porter and a night clerk at the old Hot Rod Hotel

I clean and scrub the lobby down and thirty-one rooms as well

I wax and shine their boots and shoes

I brush down their crinkly clothes

And I meet the buses and trains and I show you to your door

 

Bell-bottom pants brought two boys in at six-fourteen last night

Two girls checked in at ten-oh-two and I flipped on the light

The lamrod's wife looks in their doors and finds one terrible sight

Those boys and girls got bawled up in their doors and rooms that night

 

A bloody flood could never mess these rooms up any worse

It looked like Moe had used this room to grease and breed a horse

Old gum and hairs and sticky rags, old bottles on the floors

Gobs of spit and condom rubbers on the windows, walls, and doors

 

The lammy tried to make me clean out that crappy mess

Or else he'd fire me off my job and let me starve to death

I laid aside my polish rag and I downed my dusting pan

And I've not seen the old Hot Rod nor that old town since then

You can force it but it will not come

You can taste it but it will not form

You can crush it but it's always here

You can crush it but it's always near

Chasing you home

 

Saying

Everything is broken

Everyone is broken

 

You can force it but it will stay stung

You can crush it as dry as a bone

You can walk it home straight from school

You can kiss it, you can break all the rules

 

But still

Everything is broken

Everyone is broken

Everyone is

Everyone is broken

Everyone is

Everything is broken

 

Why can't you forget?

Why can't you forget?

Why can't you forget?

I was dressed for success,

but success it never comes

and I'm the only one who laughs

at your jokes when they are so bad

and the jokes always bad

but they're not as bad as this

 

come join us in a prayer

we'll be waiting waiting where

everything's ending here

 

and all the sterile striking it defends

an empty dock you cast away

and rain upon your forehead

where the mist's for hire if it's just too clear

let's spend our last quarterstance randomly

go down to the outlet once again

 

painted portraits of minions & slaves

crotch mavens and one night plays

are they the only ones who laugh

at the jokes when they are so bad

and the jokes always bad

but they're not as bad as this

 

come join us in a prayer

we'll be waiting waiting where

everything's ending here

 

and all the spanish candles unsold

away have gone to this

and a "run-on piece of mount on"

trembles, shivers, runs down the freeway

I guess she spent her last quarter randomly

I guess a guess is the best I'll do

last time last time

was the best time...

I spent randomly

A worried man with a worried mind

No one in front of me and nothing behind

There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne

Got white skin, got assassin's eyes

I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies

I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

 

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose

Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

 

People are crazy and times are strange

I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

 

This place ain't doing me any good

I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood

Just for a second there I thought I saw something move

Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag

Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag

Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

 

Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too

Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

 

I've been walking forty miles of bad road

If the bible is right, the world will explode

I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can

Some things are too hot to touch

The human mind can only stand so much

You can't win with a losing hand

 

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet

Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

 

I hurt easy, I just don't show it

You can hurt someone and not even know it

The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity

Gonna get low down, gonna fly high

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie

I'm love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

 

Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake

I'm not that eager to make a mistake

She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol

And I was just a soldier on my way to montreal

Well she pressed her chest against me

About the time the juke box broke

Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck

And these are the words she spoke

 

Chorus:

Blow up your t.v. throw away your paper

Go to the country, build you a home

Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches

Try an find jesus on your own

 

Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive

For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve

Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo

Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

How you ever gonna keep her now

You can't cry if you don't know how

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

All the joy is gone from her face

Welcome back to the human race

How long can the flame

Of love remain

When you curse and fight

And never see like

Or hear like spoken

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

Oh when the spell is broken

All your magic and your ways and schemes

All your lies come and tear at your dreams

When the spell is broken

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

When the spell is broken

Now you're handing her that same old line

It's just straws in the wind this time

When love has died,

There's none starry-eyed

No kiss, no tears,

No farewell souvenirs

Not even a token, when the spell is broken

 

Don't swear your heart

From the very start

Love letters you wrote

Are pushed back down you throat

And leave you choking, when the spell is broken

(When the spell, When the spell, When the spell is broken)

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

(When the spell, When the spell, When the spell is broken)

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

 

(Can't cry if you don't know how)

His father was a drinker

And his mother cried in bed

Folding John Wayne's T-shirts

When the swingset hit his head

The neighbors they adored him

For his humor and his conversation

Look underneath the house there

Find the few living things

Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead

Twenty-seven people, even more

They were boys with their cars, summer jobs

Oh my God

 

Are you one of them?

 

He dressed up like a clown for them

With his face paint white and red

And on his best behavior

In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all

He'd kill ten thousand people

With a sleight of his hand

Running far, running fast to the dead

He took of all their clothes for them

He put a cloth on their lips

Quiet hands, quiet kiss

On the mouth

 

And in my best behavior

I am really just like him

Look beneath the floorboards

For the secrets I have hid

Sonic Wind, honing in, on a tune that no one can hear

perfect pitch, simple glitch, promises it would never

appear :music

in the skies disguised

 

Change in direction where birds never fly nor roam

lie 'neath green valleys and wait for the call to come

 

Firetail bats, poised to attack

to set ablaze the rafters and the roofs

until the plan leaves the hand

burns the site down to the ground

through the ground

 

Craters are carving and wounds are left to weep

sink to the table filtering through the years

closing behind the nightmarish fears that run deep

down in green valleys wait for the call to come

when it's all over and the empty quarter

returns to the emptiness again

 

5000 miles over airplane graveyards

landmass oceans wide. over continents

a sonic wind honing in on a tune no one can hear

perfect pitch, simple glitch, promises...

over the skies - in disguise

 

Change in direction

a sonic wind is blowing

and the fire it is burning

down in green valleys where birds never fly nor roam

over airplane graveyards, wait for the call to come

and the sonic wind is whistling

My heart is always on the line

I've travelled all kinds of places

The song is always the same

Got lonesome fuel for fire

 

Got 45s to play at night

Got books to spend with every weekend

The stories always the same

Got lonesome fuel for fire

 

Fuel for fire

and bitter ending

to a sweet sweet day

Fuel for fire

the sour note inside me

orchestral way

 

Fuel for fire

and uncomfortable pauses

between famous last words

Fuel for fire

and missing persons

in a small small world

 

I've dugged beneath the wall of sound

I ended up back where I [started

the song is always the same

Got lonesome fuel for fire

 

And so my heart is always on the line

I've travelled all kinds of places

The story's always the same

Got lonesome fuel for fire

It's cold, but at least the sun is out

Her breath hangs glowing in the air

She's standing at the car with the key in her hand

Like a sleeper coming back from somewhere

 

All at once, the weight has lifted

Forgotten the weeping all last night

She's wearing a frown borrowed from her father

Her head is tilted a little to the right

 

And it's just your tender blindspot

Not the ruination of your soul

As long as trees are skying

Tears are weeping seas to make us whole

Still you wonder why you're aching

Why you should go on, you just don't know

But it's just your tender blindspot

From that tender blindspot you must go

 

The days are short and grey

It's the hardest time of year

And she must have missed the roadsign that said

"From now on, nothing will be clear"

 

And the whole day is claling

But she is frozen to the ground

There's something in the silence

There is something waiting to be found

 

And it's just your tender blindspot

Not the ruination of your soul

As long as trees are skying

Tears are weeping seas to make us whole

Still you wonder why you're aching

Why you should go on, you just don't know

But it's just your tender blindspot

From that tender blindspot you must go

 

And the morning dove is clinging

To the powerlines above

And time is hanging fozen

In its grace and pain and love

In its grace and pain and love

In its grace and pain and love

you'll take advantage til you think you're being used

cos' without an enemy your anger gets confused

i got stuck on the side you know i never chose

but it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose

 

there's no escape for you except in someone else

although you've already disappeared within yourself

the invisible man who's always changing clothes

it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose

 

while i watch you making mistakes

i wish you luck, i really do

with the problem, with the puzzle

whatever's left of you

i heard you found another audience to bore

a creative thinker who imagined you were more

a new body for you to push around and pose

 

it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose

You've got to know I've taken hits protecting you

And keeping you from toppling yourself

Trust me when I tell you it's a big amount of work

And my time is better spent on myself

 

Leaving you with no one keeping tabs

Leaving you entirely up for grabs

The world will revolve and

Your sob story's growing something old

I'm not going to solve them

You're someone else's problem now

You are someone else's problem now

 

Everything I did for you was out of love

Take, for instance, running when you called

But you didn't ever, given you abused your privileges

So it shouldn't be surprising that I've stalled

 

Leaving you with no one on your side

It's the only thing I haven't tried

The world will revolve and

Your sob story's growing something old

I'm not going to solve them

You're someone else's problem now

You are someone else's problem now

You are someone else's problem now
