Rare as an orange in the desert
She tells me I'm so clever and goes
Brushed the sand from off her toes
And I can remember all these faces
In all the burned out towns where I once lived
Long gone sounds and broke up cliques
And loud as an angel in my ear
All these voices I won't hear again
You can't hear again
And slow as a sword straight through my heart
Time will tear your life apart
Oh yeah
Oh baby
Stuck on the subway with a psycho
She's reading out the coordinates of hell
Leave the car and wish her well
With life bearing down from every angle
How could I ever blame out when you break
Out your head and float away?
And man I mean every word I say
Get these drugs out of my face
Tonight
I mean it
The crowds coming straight here for your soul
Nothing left but rock n' roll
Oh yeah
Oh baby
Before this all began us on the couch escaping plans
With all the strangers we'd soon meet
Getting loaded in the street
When at the park in Chinatown
I blinked and no one was around
I will remember you my friend
But I won't forget the way this ends
If love and only love can break your heart
What's this tearing mine apart?
Oh yeah
Oh baby
The years flying faster all the time
I lie awake and dream all night
Oh yeah
Oh baby
