calling me And knock knock knock on wood I thought I'd left you behind Heaven is yours heaven is yours heaven is yours where I live The thought of the catacombs left my soul home This letter never sent And it's so far it's so dark i'm so lost Nervous journey seven shores no one show us where I live When I'm moving too fast where is my new address The water is evening out the catacombs are filling in If my soul was made of stone then knock knock so ____ dark And it's so far it's so dark i'm so lost And it's so far it's so far it's so far Nobody show us nobody show us somebody show us where I live CAMERA >From the inside room when the front room green Becomes your special book, it was simple then When the party lulls if we fall by the side Will you be remembered will she be remembered Alone in a crowd the bartered lantern borrowed If I'm to be a camera, then who will be your friends I fell by your bed once I didn't want to tell you I should keep myself in between the pages Of the green light room if we fall by the side >From the inside room when the front room green Becomes your special book, it was simple then When the party lulls if we fall by the side I still like you can you remember (DON'T GO BACK TO) ROCKVILLE Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself I know it might sound strange, but I believe You'll be coming back before too long Don't go back to Rockville And waste another year At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care if you're not here with me 'Cause it's so much easier to handle All my problems if I'm too far out to sea But something better happen soon Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back It's not as though I really need you If you were here I'd only leave you But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and That's not how it ought to be I know it might sound strange, but I believe You'll be coming back before too long LITTLE AMERICA I can't see myself at thirty I don't buy a lack of thirty Caught like flies wishing for tomorrow's jewlery forget it Lighted in the amber yard a green shell back green shell back Listen for tomorrow's eyes entry bell talk like real south The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The Conestoga horse Jefferson I think we're lost Who will tend the fine museums who will dust today's belongings Who will sweep the floors engineer the givens Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season Ann is on the beach do you realize the life she's led The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The Conestoga horse oh man I think we're lost The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The matter of course Jefferson drive Lighted in the amber yard a green shell back green shell back Skylight stock tight unequal park tight entry talk like real south He's in there son it's the tame a logic knot stuck kidders game Another Greenville another Magic Mart marker trevor rifle the door The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The Conestoga horse Jefferson I think we're lost The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest The Conestoga horse Jefferson I think we're lost
