The Cloud Room

Hey now now
they'll find you
when you're sleeping now now
they'll reach in and grab
what you're dreamin' now now
cut it up and
slip it back in
and I know and I know
and I know it
Hey now now
the smallest things
are crushing me now
the crush crush crush
is so comforting now
did the earth
just slam in the sun
and I know and I know
and I know it
won't undo their
past by walking
and talking backwards
Hey now now
we're goin' down down
and we ride the bus there
and pay the bus fare
or we find a new reason
a new way of living
and we breathe it in
and try to dream again

Behind the waterfall
that's where your lost
loves have all gone
They're bored and
waiting for you
so put on your shoes and
go don't stay you know
you know that
it will be alright
Just leave it all all behind
'cause it will be alright

In those abandoned town
that's where your
lost lives can be found
All things you
wished you had done
so put on your shoes and
go don't stay you know
you know that
it will be alright
Just leave it all all behind
'cause it will be alright

Behind the waterfall
no one can name
that thing they saw
You know it's waiting for you
so put on your shoes and
go don't stay you know
you know that
it will be alright
Just leave it all all behind
'cause it will be alright
will be alright
will be alright
will be alright

I stepped into the elevator with
Mattie Safer and Milk-Eyed Mender when there was
a blackout
We stepped out to the pavement unmanned
cars were crashing in to unmanned cars
in the blackout
We'll never ever go back to the time
when we'd shake it down
in the blackout

We were making wishes on some missiles
we mistook for shooting stars
in the blackout
We'll never ever go back to the time
when we'd shake it down
in the blackout

Hold on don't go
do those awful things
in your head
'cause it's not you
it's not you
it's not you
I know your body
cracked exactly how
you had planned
but it's not you
it's not you
it's not you

You looked like a stranger
the only advice
I could give was c'mon
c'mon c'mon c'mon and live
You looked like a stranger
the only advice
I could give was c'mon
c'mon c'mon c'mon and live
c'mon and live

We keep reliving that
Monday or Tuesday
I can't recall
but it's not you
it's not you
it's not you
and I know
you'd shut off Imagine
'cause you could hear
John breathing
how do I shut off my skin and
the walls and the hills and
the trees where
you still breathe

You looked like a stranger
the only advice
I could give was c'mon
c'mon c'mon c'mon and live
You looked like a stranger
the only advice
I could give was c'mon
c'mon c'mon c'mon and live
c'mon and live

Oh don't you want to go
Oh to the time
when we were bored and happy
Oh don't you want to go
Oh To the time when all the plans
we'd make were
laws we yet to break
If I could you
Hold on hold on to that
beautiful mess
when we still loved us
and I still
Hold on hold on to that
beautiful mess
when we still loved us
and I still
Hold on so long

Oh don't you want to go
Oh to the time
when we were bored and happy
Oh don't you want to go
Oh To the time when all the plans
we'd make were
laws we yet to break
If I could you
Hold on hold on to that
beautiful mess
when we still loved us
and I still
Hold on hold on to that
beautiful mess
when we still loved us
and I still
Hold on so long

Oh don't you want to go
Oh to the time
when we were bored and happy
Oh don't you want to go
Oh To the time when all the plans
we'd make were
laws we yet to break
Hold on hold on to that
beautiful mess
when we still loved us
and I still
Hold on hold on to that
beautiful mess
when we still loved us
and I still
Hold on so long
Hold on so long
Hold on so long

And you know,
the hunger will unfold,
it's our high, it's our mid, it's our low
In the acoustic shadow,
it's our high, it's our mid, it's our low
And the future's rubbed off of my palms
from shaking psalms

1-2 and we fight
1-2-3 we flight
and we choke on the light,
the hunger's out tonight

Love my love O my
Love my love O my
Love my love O my love
O my love
and Love my love O my
When this song
this song is old and gray
will you stay my love
O my love
O won't you come on home
O won't you come on home
O won't you come on home
we miss you so much
we miss you so damn much
Love my love O my
Love my love O my
Love my love O my love
O my love
O won't you come on home
O won't you come on home
O won't you come on home
we miss you so much
we miss you so damn much
we miss you so damn much
oh oh oh oh oh

Blue Jean
where have you been
in this song I sing
I've been riding this train
tryin' to see you again
Blue Jean
where have you been
in this song I sing
you're all torn
and you're frayed
and you're starting to fade
and we said Blue Jean
what's happening
what have you seen
you poor old thing
Blue Jean
what's happening
where have you seen
you poor old thing
you poor old thing
Blue Jean
where have you been
in this song I sing
I spent 30 damn days
sleeping on this damn train
Blue Jean
where have you been
in this song I sing
you're all torn and
you're frayed
and you're starting to fade
and we said Blue Jean
what's happening
what have you seen
you poor old thing
Blue Jean
what's happening
where have you seen
you poor old thing
you poor old thing

Blue Jean
where have you been
in this song I sing
I've been wracking my brain
to remember your face
Blue Jean
where have you been
in this song I sing
I'm all torn and I'm frayed
and I'm starting to fade
and we said Blue Jean
what's happening
what have you seen
you poor old thing
Blue Jean
what's happening
where have you seen
you poor old thing

We could just leave tomorrow,
never ever see any sorrow
and we'll sleep in the ocean,
far from all the commotion

And we run and we hide,
from the slow assassination tide
And we run and we fight,
our skin is our only home tonight
Hey, Hey, Hey the fadeaway

We could sneak out while they're sleeping,
resculpt the world the way we dream it
and we'll sleep in the ocean,
far from all the commotion

Hey now now, they'll find you when you're sleeping they'll reach in and grab what you're dreamin' cut it up and slip it back in, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know it Hey now now, the smallest things are crushing me now the crush crush crush is so comforting now did the earth just slam in the sun, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know it won't undo their past by walking and talking backwards Hey now now, we're goin' down down and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare or we find a new reason, a new way of living and we breathe it in and try to dream again Hey now now, they'll find you when you're sleeping, now now they'll reach in and grab what you're dreamin', now now cut it up and slip it back in and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know it Hey now now, the smallest things are crushing me now the crush crush crush is so comforting now did the earth just slam in the sun, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know it won't undo their past by walking and talking backwards Hey now now, we're goin' down down and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare or we find a new reason, a new way of living and we breathe it in and try to dream again
