Bought a dead man’s suit in Denver / and I wore it on the stage. It got me thinking about impermanence; how everything dies with age. Things don’t get any easier another town, another day. Things don’t get any easier babe, have mercy on me. I can feel your love drifting away. Just like the wings of an airplane.

“Do you ever get the feeling that you’re living someone else’s dream?” She said while she sat and tapped on the top of that cigarette machine, I said “baby, it’s a mean old world, ugliness it just unfurls itself in mysterious ways, we all have our dog days” Do you ever get the feeling that you’re living in a magazine? If I had all of the money that I’ve spent on dope I would buy that dress in green. Then I’d ride out among the stars, strumming a cosmic guitar that shoots out lazer beams, and then they’d see… Cause I would be neon and that’s why Do you ever get the feeling that someone will be dancing on your grave? All these thoughts that stir in my head are sometimes too much to take. Oh but baby, that’s the way it goes, happiness just ebbs and flows, and it puts you on your knees, oh but honey, please… We could be neon and that’s why

Meet me down by the pylons tonight and let’s tear into the guts of his little nightmare town that holds us down and keeps us out of the light ‘Cause I remember you dancing beneath the light of the disco ball in the gym that night making love under plastic stars glued to the ceiling until the sun let in. You said “my daddy’s got a shotgun in the shed, why don’t we blow ‘em all away and keep this house all to ourselves?” And I know it was a joke but something was going through my head about the power of the gun and what I could do with it. Baby let’s burn it down I can’t stand the sound of this nightmare town. Meet me down by the pylons tonight down by that river full of shopping carts where the beauty ends and all the madness starts. Because we met in the second grade and, baby, you were so well behaved and I was nothing but a dead end kid, causing trouble was all I did. I’ll bet those Hollywood lights are looking good right now, why don’t we go for a ride? I could steal my brother’s car and if we leave right now, we could drive all through the night. Baby let’s burn it down I can’t stand the sound of this nightmare town.

Turn that wheel of love, and keep it spinning just for me, when you feel you’ve had enough turn that wheel of love Well, we met in the third grade, outside of that penny arcade, honey, I was such a fool, didn’t know the mess I’d made But it’s all the same, even now if you can stand the pain for a little while Turn that wheel of love, and keep it spinning just for me, when you feel you’ve had enough turn that wheel of love And if they could see me now, honey, I’m on a whole new plain, got the feeling just because, you’ve been running through my veins but it’s all the same, even now, if you can stand the pain for a little while Turn that wheel of love, / and keep it spinning just for me, when you feel you’ve had enough turn that wheel of love Stepping into the light, while the heat of the night is descending these are troubling times, try to stop your mind from pretending Turn that wheel of love, and keep it spinning just for me, when you feel you’ve had enough turn that wheel of love

Sweet Susie, with your pig tailed tangles of gold it’s true, baby that this world has long been bought and sold But you can blame it on all the cold clouds above, through the hate you’ve gotta find the love sweet Susie, I just wanted you to know You’re like an apple pie, cooling on a window sill but don’t let all, the sickness of this world break your little will / when you can, blame it on all the cold clouds above through the hate you’ve gotta find the love sweet Susie, I just wanted you to know You left for heaven on a downtown train, said that this city was just breaking your heart I came running across the promenade, don’t you know Susie that’s no way to part you left for heaven on a downtown train Sweet Susie, with your pig tailed tangles of gold it’s true, baby that this world has long been bought and sold But you can blame it on all the cold clouds above, through the hate you’ve gotta find the love sweet Susie, I just wanted you to know
