Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
In between the moon and you, the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
Well, I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again
Where, I don't know
Maria says she's dying, yeah, through the door, I hear her crying
Why, I don't know
'Round here, we always stand up straight
'Round here, something radiates
Maria came from Nashville, just a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks just like Elvis, it's not me
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
And then. she parks her car outside of my house and takes all her clothes off
She says she's close to understanding Jesus
Yeah, but she knows she's more than just a little, you know, misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal, well, I have trouble acting normal
But 'round here, so we are carving and we are carving and we are carving out our names
Around here, yeah, I know, I know, I know that we all look the same
'Round here, we talk just like lions, yeah, but we sacrifice just like lambs
'Round here, yeah, but she's, she's slipping through my hands
Sleeping children better run like the wind
Out, out, out, out of this lightning dream
Well, mama's little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning
She says it's only in my head
Yeah, but she said "shut up", but I know, I know, this is only in my head
Said "so did you think that you were dreaming", I said "no"
She said "did you think that you were dreaming", I said "no"
She said "did you think that you were dreaming", I said "sometimes, I don't know"
Because, because I was out on the radio, just starting to change
Somewhere out in America, it's just starting to rain
Could you tell me one thing you remember about me
Yeah, 'cause
'Cause I was out on the radio, just starting to change
Somewhere out in America, it's starting to rain
Could you just tell me one thing you will remember about me
Can you tell me one thing, can you tell me one thing
Can you tell me one thing that you will remember about me
Shhh...
Shhh, shhh...
'Cause there's a girl on a car out in the parking lot
And she says "man, you know, come on, come on, come on, just take a shot"
She says "can't you see me", she says "can't you see me"
She said "can't you see my walls tumblin' down"
She said "can't you see my walls crumblin' down
And can't you see my sun stopped spinning 'round"
"And can't you see that sky turn black and brown
And can't you see that moon go flashing 'round
And can't you see me, and can't you see me?
And can't you see me?"
No, there's a girl on a car in the parking lot
Says "man, you should try to take a shot"
Can't you see my walls a crumblin'?
She looks up at the building, says "hey, I'm thinkin' of jumpin'"
Says "I'm sick and tired of my life", well everybody's sick and tired of somethin'
But 'round here, she is always on my mind
'Round here, hey man, look at me, 'cause I got a lotta, a lot of time
She says "'round here, we are never sent to bed early, hey man, nobody makes us wait
'Round here, we stay up very, very, very, very late"
And I said "but I was out on the radio, just starting to change
Somewhere out in America, it's starting to rain
Could you tell me one thing you will remember about me?"
Said I was out on the radio, just starting to change
Somewhere out in America, it's starting to rain
Could you tell me one thing you'll remember about me?
Because
Because I was out on the radio, just starting to change
Somewhere out in America, it's starting to rain
Could you tell me one thing you'll remember about me?
