   at last you’ve opened your mind • but you find there’s not much going on up there • but that’s fine • because you’ve got more to give • it’s how you live, it’s how live • it’s what you take and what you give
   
   see how they open their hands • and grab at everything that they possibly can • but that’s all right • you’ve gotta take what you can get • and if that’s the road we’re on • we’re gonna need it when we get there
   
   but I get tired • I get tired, baby • waiting on these trains to come passing through my mind • the engines fire • oh they fire
   
   locomotives burning down the tracks • a million miles per hour up my back • they never seem to reach me in time
   
   and now you’ve opened your eyes • but nothing’s really changed ‘cause you’re still blind • you’re so blind • but so am I, so am I • and that’s the way that it is • we’re gonna stumble through this world together • never knowing what we missed
   
   but I get tired, baby • I get tired • waiting on these planes to come crashing through my skies • jet engines fire • oh they fire
   
   screaming out the words we said • a million miles above our heads • swinging down to pick me up • and save me from this drowning cup • I don’t want to run away • I just need some time to concentrate • and wait until the clouds have gone
   
   the sun’s gonna shine all over baby

   well you let down all your lines • pick me up into your hands in time • while the thieves hang on my streets • and steal the memories I’ve lost in my mind
   
   anna, oh you’re sweet like rain • sweet like everything to me now
   
   while my fields all turn to dust • machines gone to rust sit there crystallized • but my madness melts away as the rain falls on my face • and you put your hands into mine
   
   anna, oh you’re sweet like rain • sweet like everything to me now • anna, oh you’re sweet like rain • sweet like the melodies blowing around in my brain
   
   my madness melts away • as the rain falls on my face • pouring down on me now
   
   anna, oh you’re sweet like rain • sweet like everything to me now • anna, oh you’re sweet like rain • sweet like the melodies blowing around in my brain • anna, oh you’re sweet like rain • sweet like the rain that’s falling on me now
   
   anna, oh you’re sweet like rain • sweet like everything to me now

   you’ll have to turn yourself away again • turn away from me my friend • or take a walk with me into the sands • if you change your mind
   
   and the sideshow understands • blank stares and clapping hands • you grow your hair down to your feet • inhale the breeze • and then you change your mind
   
   take off your chains babe • you don’t have to carry that weight • take off your chains baby • crawl from your cage
   
   stars came crashing down from heaven yesterday • asked me what I had made • just take me out of this parade • I’m tired of painting up my face
   
   take off your chains babe • you don’t have to carry that weight • take off your chains baby • and walk around • and walk around
   
   every moment’s the same • every moment’s the same way • every morning’s the same day

   white snow has got me blind • hear nothing, see nothing, feel nothing • blind
   
   black night has got me trying • to keep my hands on the steering wheel • and my eyes open wide
   
   but I don’t care how hard it gets • or how much I spend on gasoline and cigarettes • because I’ve got you on my mind • and I’m packing my bags • coming across that illinois line
   
   deep pain in my spine • the bed’s too small, I’m against the wall • I’m next to you, I’m fine
   
   I want to be with you all of the time • but if this is all we get • I’m going to take all that’s mine
   
   babe, if this is all we get • I’m going to drink up each drop of you • until there’s nothing left • still tomorrow there’ll be crying • when I pack up my bags again • and cross the Illinois line • get myself back home again • across the Illinois line • we’ve gotta take what we can get baby • ‘cause I’m yours • and you’re mine
   
   I want to be with you my love • I want to be with you all the time • I want to be with you my love • I want to be with you all the time

   well I feel so bad babe • when the sun shines and you’re sad • I wish I could go outside • tell the clouds to fill the sky
   
   but even if I can’t do that • I’d do anything else that I can • baby, dry your eyes • I’m not leaving • this time
   
   I waste way too much time • wishing I was by your side • when all I want is to spend • every minute of every day in your bed
   
   but even if I can’t do that • I’d do anything else that I can • baby, dry your eyes • I’m not leaving • this time
   
   well I feel so bad • when the sun shines and you’re sad • wish I could go outside • tell the sky to turn out the lights
   
   but even if I can’t do that • I’d do anything else that I can • baby, dry your eyes • I’m not leaving • I’m not leaving • I’m not leaving • this time

   take off your glasses and you can see everything • drop your tambourine and it clatters in the sink • my eyeballs roll across the floor • I can’t run with you anymore
   
   and we sit around and wait • but I can’t stand for it • won’t summarize the pain • when your mind washes back up on the shore • I can’t run with you anymore
   
   but I wish you • would let me go • yeah I wish you • would let me go • let me go so I can find out on my own
   
   and we’re flickering like lights • wave your flags until you’ve symbolized your right • and I’ve pounded on your windows • and I pounded on your doors • but I can’t run with you anymore
   
   but I wish you • would let me go • yeah I wish you • would let me go • let me go so I can find out on my own • let me go so I can return to my home • let me go so I can relive every memory I’ve known • I can’t run with you anymore

   when I go down at last at night • to find my sister the sunlight • as she runs from twilight’s dark horse • as he stains the stolen sky • and I fight for her • but the hands of time • hold me down and push me back inside • and when I’m released • I awake • and thank god • thank god I’m still alive
   
   and the flying clown • found his dying owl • with wisdom and secrets and lies • and they fly around looking down • as the wolf lies down with his mourning bride • and a purple sky • dressed in azure eyes • plays piano • to ease my broken mind • so I reach out my hand • for her to kiss • and I become a neptune child…

   tell your woman to stop • her tears • there’s no room for that here • fill your cup and drink it down • in her words we slowly drown
   
   and she’s so in love with your sad, sad songs • and she’s going through with it all on her own • you say it loud and you say it soft • just thank god we are who we are • who we are
   
   her whispers scream through your thoughts • planting seeds and growing crops • the record’s scratched like my guitars • I can’t listen to this music anymore • make it stop
   
   and she’s going down with her soul in your arms • you start, you stop, you turn it on and you turn off • you say it loud and you say it soft • just thank god we know who we are • who we are • who we are

    run away with your waving hands • put them in the pockets of your checkered pants • run your feet through the wet sand • and look out on nothing • from your neverland
    
    I ain’t waiting on nothing, child • I’m just sitting here wasting time
    
    she comes down pouring just like mercy • she comes down splashing like mind • she comes down pouring just like mercy all the time • she comes down splashing like mind
    
    read it backwards, tell me what it says • turn it inside out and paint it red • I’ll stop my swimming when this flood ends • it’s rhythm and motion, child • just rhythm and motion, child
    
    so you want a lullaby • well I can sing you one but then I’m gonna have to say goodbye
    
    she comes down pouring just like mercy • she comes down splashing like my mind • she comes down pouring just like mercy all the time • she comes down splashing like my mind
    
    just like my mind • just like my mind • just like my mind • just like my mind
    
    it’s getting late for the innocence part • but still we’ve got some time • the rain will fall and the dust will call • but we’re much too young for ashes • much too young
    
    it’s getting late for the innocence part • but we can still get high • the rain will fall and the dust will crawl • but we’re much too young for ashes • much too young
    
    it’s getting late for the innocence part • but we can still get high • the rain will fall and the dust will crawl • but we’re much too young for ashes • much too young
