L I B R A R Y

Funny how
The bright lights of downtown
Seemed so dim when you were around
My little southern belle

Danger lurked
Round every corner
Of this place you called home
Then one sun drenched day it took you away...

And when the night falls
You can't help yourself
And when the night falls
You are alone once again
This time, I'll cry
For you and watch the stars, Alone
But how long for?

I've seen you since
In June's milky sea mist
And the last storms of March

Seen you smile
In the hoards of proud young faces
On the fourth of July
Parade...

And when the night falls
You can't help yourself
And when the night falls
You are alone once again
This time, I'll cry
For you and watch the stars, Alone
But how long for?

Really there's no need to worry
Sleep will heal the body of the day's wounds
Tonight in your room

But there's no way
To avoid the day
And there's no fear
Worse than lying here

Round and round and round your swirling head
Round and round and round inside a heaving chest

There is a different pill
For an enchanted life
Anyone can see
Food for your aching soul
Don't come in plastic bottles
These days

Pretty soon you're popping pills
You don't care what they are
But love what they do
Swimming in a swirling swoon

But you want more
`Cause I still snore
And who's keeping score
When you hit the floor...

Angels turn to demons in your tunnel vision stare
Square dance round the room and breathe the sticky treacle air

The santa Ana wind
Blows fire through your hair
And makes you dance all night
Just like my
Feelings and memories
Wiped away
But do I care
No I'll just ride
For my life

Here I go again
I'm driving
Just driving
There you go again
Thinking i'm hiding
But I'm still here

Here's a shoulder to cry on
Such a bad year
Caught in your wildfire
Say goodbye to all that stuff
You shed a tear
To put out that wilfire
Famous aunts and uncles
Flee to hotels
Hide from your wildfire
But it's part of nature
So celebrate
Dance around your wildfire

Rare golden flowers grow
From ashes in the yard
I almost swept away
Kinda like the last time
When my heart was inflamable
But slammed up in my tiny world
When all I had to do
Was give it all away

Wildfire... Beautiful
Dance with me, one more time
Take my hand
Never let me rest
