The secrets that we keep say them in our sleep
And wrestle down our souls if they would speak I watched you board a train in the London rain And waved bye-bye as you slipped out of view Diane Diane We'll make it out together We'll make it out We'll make it out In your dreams when the smile now comes You're mumbling words with a lazy tongue We lie together when we say it's love Who were you just thinking of, Diane? Diane Diane I don't say it but I know you know The theme returns so deep And visits us in sleep To define the you and I as we So we pass the time and occupy our minds And close our eyes and hope that we'll be fine Diane Diane We'll make it out together We'll make it out together We'll make it out We'll make it out And I may leave in time you'll see I'll come right back for you And I may leave in time you'll see I'll come right back for you, for you |

You walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you'll get your way You closed the door and stumbled down to the street Where you wring your hands And you drag your feet Where the words can't find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes But you can't hide standing under these stars They know everything, they know where you are You're in your head, you're all turned around with it And they're shining down their light to bring you back again Back where I can find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning All you want to see is make-believe, it's nothing But way down underneath I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful you don't hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful, you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes |

Threw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you split Your bass guitar and shag CD Well, they don't mean that much to me Right now I'm going through your things These days, I'm changing all my strings I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? You won't get too far from me Believing everything you read You're wasted in the great unknown And I am finally ready to dispose Of all your vintage clothes Your drugs and every secret code I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? From your red balloon, you were A super high tech jet fighter Floating over Planet Earth Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts Take this bitter pill Is it easy to swallow? I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam, Amsterdam? |

In the backyard
In the garden You were always there Digging down where roots would burrow underneath Now the grass is always overgrown And the weeds are choking out the sun Pretty soon they'll come under the door And you don't care In the backyard Since last summer Almost nothing left Just some pieces of the roots that once dug in Now the grass is always overgrown And the weeds are choking out the sun Why do you still come home anymore When you don't care? |

On your way to the best years of your life
Everyone's banging on their gongs The sooner you leave the sooner you're home Back in Massachusetts To your golden age where they tuck you in at night You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? This time you're not homecoming king Did you hear that? Have you heard that sound before? Do you even know where it is coming from? It's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out Into the arms of 1994 You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You stand on your own Wasn't what you hoped at all Do you still recall it? Giving dead-arms in the hall Stay right where you are You'll be half of who you were When you always would win So count the days till you give in Back to Massachusetts To your golden age where your crown is shining bright You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king |

Ramona where have you been?
I couldn't go to sleep 'til you came in Ramona you're Miss Oklahoma and you Miss Oklahoma I'll get you what you want Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer Why'd you have to be so nice? A wink and a girlie smile And why'd you have to punch my eye? That was something But did you want me to stay? When I was younger and thought of myself I never dreamed I'd become like this A snap of your fingers an end to the arguments Anything for you, love Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me The only one you know But I know now, not at the start We're going to pieces we're falling apart So come and sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer? |

5a.m. March 16
Jesus on the radio You took a photograph of me On your yellow bucket seat It's too high it's too wide You're so low you don't know To get through to go around So don't look back There ain't nothing there to see Was once like you Can't say I recognize that face In that picture that you keep It's too high it's too wide You're so low you don't know To get through to go around To get through to go around |

When we all had finally washed ashore
It was clear there was no one else around We declared a national holiday A chance to build it from the ground So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today Can we rise? Can we get along alright? Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in? And the boats went out at night And the choppers in the sky They searched but they could find no trace of us So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today The thunder struck, the clouds appeared Our fearless crew was not prepared And pretty soon the boats came for us Half a million strong We gathered arms and fired shells We built a wall around ourselves And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like What it used to be back home So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today |

Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes
Right in tune with "Dark Side of the Moon" Someone, someone could tell me Where I belong Be calm, be brave, it'll be okay No more messing around and living underground On new year's resolutions By this time next year, I won't be here I turn on, turn on MTV, the volume's down Lips move, they say It'll be okay To tell you the truth, I've said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction One last time these words from me I'm never saying them again And I shut the light And listen as my watch unwinds To tell you the truth I've said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction I know I've been half-asleep I'm never doing that again I look straight at what's coming ahead And soon it's going to change in a new direction Every night as I'm falling asleep These words repeated in my head Voices calling from a yellow road To come downstairs and say hello Don't be shy, just say hello To tell you the truth I've said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction I know I've been half-asleep I'm never doing that again I look straight at what's coming ahead And soon it's going to change in a new direction Every night as I'm falling asleep Those words repeated in my head |

I was dead sleeping in your bed
Floated up from the ground and look down Then finally i could see completely Heard the angels' song I know what you are I could never tell They sang what you are This far away you're a miniature to me Are you sorry you've almost disappeared? Now I know what you are I could never tell They sang what you are Now the notes are fading And everything is turned around And I can't help but think that It's a long way down All the lights are changing And everything is turned around And I can't help but think that It's a long way down Now I know what you are I could never tell They sang what you are |

I'm awake you're still sleeping
The sun will rise like yesterday Everything that we are now Is everything we can't let go Or it's gone forever far away I hope tomorrow is like today Don't you go away tomorrow I don't think I could handle that'You're probably dreaming that you're Flying on then You start to fall But then you rise And shine forever Don't go away I hope tomorrow is like today |
