The Astronaut

She smiles but no one notices
It’s been too long to notice this
Her worn-out eyes
And cigarettes
And a rose tattooed on her chest
She’s into outer space
And worlds beyond
That’s her lost and found
She practices walking like
She’s an astronaut
Even when they say she’s not
She, She’s just waiting
She, She’s just waiting
For a chance
For a chance
She walks the streets late at night
‘Cause she says that’s when she feels alive
The streetlights are her stars
The meteors are the cars
She don’t even need to be high
She says she’s a satellite
Floating through and by
And she’ll be glad to let you know
That while you think she’s batshit crazy
She’s about to win your heart
She, She’s just waiting
She, She’s just waiting
She, She’s just waiting
She, She’s just waiting
For a chance
For a chance

The Feeling Never Ends
04:27

There’s a place I go to remember you
It’s just down the road and outside my walls
And my mind’s made up
And I’m fierce from the start
300 miles to go, 300 miles I own
With the wind in my face and my legs going numb
Yeah, my veins are on fire
Yeah, my veins are on fire
I’ve got a feelin’ that never
I’ve got a feelin’ that never ends
I’ve got a feelin’ that never
I’ve got a feelin’
Have you seen it? Have you seen the light?
I’ve been believin’ almost all my life
And my mind’s made up
And I’m fierce from the start
300 miles to go, 300 miles I own
With the wind in my face and my legs going numb
Yeah, my veins are on fire
Yeah, my veins are on fire
I’ve got a feelin’ that never
I’ve got a feelin’ that never ends
I’ve got a feelin’ that never
I’ve got a feelin’
The feeling settles in
I ride with you, my friends
The road and us are one
I’m raging on for love
The feeling never ends
I ride with you, my friends
The road and us are one
I’m raging on for love

Afraid to Look Up
04:29
|
|||
|
Where does the sun go
When the clouds
Hide her away?
Where does the rain go
When it falls
Down for days?
I’m afraid to look up to see
An ocean of gray above me
Today I wish I was a blind man
And it fills a cup that I don’t need
So I take a drink to see
If I could bear this only offering
Where does the wind blow
When the trees
Bend and sway?
Where does the time go?
You can’t catch up
But you can’t stay
I’m afraid to look up to see
An ocean of gray above me
Today I wish I was a blind man
And it fills a cup that I don’t need
So I take a drink to see
If I could bear this only offering
It’s too much for too long
So please take – take it away
It’s too much for too long
So please take – take it away

Dog
05:03
|
|||
|
Six feet on the sidewalk
And the sleet fills my beard
And a rope around my hand
So that you can keep me near
Friend of mine
How you understand
No judgements from you
You make me feel like a man
O dog, how I love you
You walk me through the fire
O dog, how you love me
Even though this weary man,
He grows tired,
He grows tired
When they tried to take you away
My fists began to fly
All this rage in me is love
And for you I would die
Streets and alley ways
Give us places to roam free
No pillows for our heads
We’ve got the sun and the concrete
O dog, how I love you
You walk me through the fire
O dog, how you love me
Even though this weary man,
He grows tired
I’m so tired
O dog, you are all I need, you are all I need
O dog, you are all I need, you are all I need
O dog, you are all I need, you are all I need

Take Me to California
05:49

Take me to California
To see the stars in the sidewalks
I hear if you’re pretty they’ll adore ya
So now it seems, I’ve got a long way to go
I’ve never been to California
But I know they’ve got an ocean
And a city that’s filled with angels
And a golden bridge that can carry you home
But can you carry me from Ohio?
I’ve been lookin’ to the west now for a while
What do ya got out there that
I don’t have here in Ohio?
I have my lover, my heart, my desire
And she anchors me
To my dreams that run deep
California, I know you’d love me
But I could only say hello
And then I’d have to leave
Are you the lover that could let me go?
And if you’d let me go
Would you let me go home?
Would you let me go back to Ohio?
Would you let me go home to Ohio?
Would you let me go back to Ohio?
Take me back home to Ohio
California, I’d sure like to know ya
California, I’d sure like to know ya
California, I’d sure like to know ya
California, I’d sure like to know ya

On this night
There was 10,000 colors
Our hands
Clasped so tight
As if they’d never held another
The sidewalk
Stretched itself out
And we just wandered
Aimless
No thought of what’s ahead
We just wander aimlessly
We’ll just wander aimlessly
We’ll just wander aimlessly
We’ll just wander aimlessly
We’ll just wander aimlessly
Then the morning came
And we would watch the sunrise
You’d climb up that hill
And I would climb from the other side
And we’d meet there
On the top
And we’d stay there for awhile
And we’re still there
On the top
We’re gonna stay there for awhile
For a while
For a while
We are in this endlessly
We are in this endlessly
We are in this endlessly
We are in this endlessly

If my silhouette had bones
I’d stand her up now
And then we’d both go toe to toe
I’d say that you and me
Oh, we ain’t no good
But if you’d stand here beside me
Well I’d love you just like I should
Here we go, baby, here we go
Here we go
Lights are down and the curtains drawn
Enjoy the show
Night or day, babe, I stay the same
Lord know that’ll never change
If you could see baby what I see
Then you’d know
Oh baby, then you’d know
If my crawl could break your fall
Would you shine brighter than the sunshine?
Would I dim out just like the moon?
If my hands could untie your hold
I’d give it all up on Saturday
I’d give it all up just for you
Here we go, baby, here we go
Here we go
Lights are down and the curtains drawn
Enjoy the show
Night or day, babe, I’ll stay the same
Lord know that’ll never change
If you could see baby what I see
Then you’d know

Roll With Me
04:49
|
|||
|
When the road gets long
And you don’t want to move on
Drop all that baggage, yeah, and roll with me
We’ll just sit down, take a look around
Watch the rest of the world go and burn down
We’ll have the time of our lives
Baby you’ll see
Roll, Roll with me, Baby roll with me
Rest all those crowns and listen to that sound
All the people everywhere reminiscing out loud
Watching sunsets, holding hands
Ignoring hourglasses emptying the sand
We’ll have the time of our lives,
Baby you’ll see
Roll, Roll with me, Baby roll with me
When the road does end, no letters will I send
I’ll let my footprints do all the talkin’ for me
And the bottle will run dry with the tears of my eyes
The only smile left to give is on the faces of my own
I’ll move myself along and I will sing my song
If the wind don’t carry me, well I’ll just find a breeze
You win some, you lose some
And every now and then
You might even get some
We’ve had the time of our lives
Both you and me
Roll, Roll with me, Baby roll with me
They tell me I should be afraid
Of this thing they call judgement day
But if I know where I am to be
Why would I let it bother me

Radio

I was 10 years old
Got me a radio
Took it to bed with me
And put it on my pillow
Then I heard a girl
On the radio
She was singing about
How much she loves rock n’ roll
She loves that rock n’ roll
So turn it up, turn up the God damn radio
Give me some more of that rock n’ roll
So I can feel it
Deep down inside my bones
Oh God, oh how it loves my soul
It loves my soul
Wait for the songs to come
That I love the most
And I dream about
Being in that rock n’ roll show
And then I heard a man
On the radio
He was singing all about rock n’ roll
He loves that rock n’ roll
So turn it up, turn up the God damn radio
Give me some more of that rock n’ roll
So I can feel it
Deep down inside my bones
Oh God, oh how it loves my soul
It loves my soul

Sunrise, we’re wide-eyed
Packed up for a morning ride
Cut through that heavy fog
Carve the world open wide
Let’s take the back roads
Past wildflowers and the maple groves
Take in the virgin air
Landscapes that we’ve never known
I wanna feel alive
With you here
By my side
Finding something new
What will tonight bring?
Are you up for anything?
Tell me, baby
Are we just passengers?
Sundown, so let’s see
Find out what we can be
Let’s chase those city lights
Let’s get lost, you and me
I wanna feel alive
With you here
By my side
Finding something new
What will tonight bring?
Who’s driving this thing?
Tell me, baby
Are we just passengers?

What are you feeling?
You’re staring at the ceiling
Your walls are turning blue
How you let ‘em swallow you
Do you see them?
Do you want to be them?
The embers of your love
Drifting off
Burning out
Well, I’ve seen that look before
Well, I’ve seen that look before
Who do you love?
And who could ever be loved by you?
Who do you love?
And who could ever be loved by you?
Could be loved by you?
I want you to be wanted
I’m coming off my mountain
To get you out of low
I could carry you home
How did you get to low?
And did you even want to go?
‘Cuz I could leave here tomorrow
I could carry you home
Well, I’ve seen that look before
Well, I’ve seen that look before
Who do you love?
And who could ever be loved by you?
Who do you love?
And who could ever be loved by you?

It Is Gone
02:34

Hold me down
Keep me here
A little while
I have no one
Left to love, hurt
Or even take from
And all my dreams
They are gone, they are gone
With all my friends
They have gone, they have gone
And all my hope
It is gone, it is gone
And all my love
It is gone, it is gone
I’m all done
Staring at my feet
Is my day long
If you’d love me
I’d take you in
But I’d wear you down thin
And all my dreams
They are gone, they are gone
With all my friends
They have gone, they have gone
And all my hope
It is gone, it is gone
And all my love
It is gone, it is gone
