"The Cowboy Song"
from Live at the Brixton Academy
Tears fall
Discard your innocent dreams
Loves fall
They kinda leave you empty
Leaves fall
The seasons pass you by
And you think
That maybe you can fly
Ceilings fall
With each romance you encounter
Clouds fall
With each moment of despair
Buildings fall
The pavement is their bed
But what's the last thing
That goes through your head
You take the elevator to the top
The next thing you know
There you are standing on the edge
And all the flashing lights and futile cries
They're hopeful, you know ???
Just close your eyes and take that final step
Rains fall
They dampen your will to live
Gods fall
With each pleasure that you give
You fall
And take the whole world with you
But will you even bother to look down
You take the elevator to the top
The next thing you know
There you are standing on the edge
The circumstance it turns you inside out
So we can have peace ???
Before you find out what's inside your head
What's inside your head!
You take the elevator to the top
The next thing you know
There you are standing on the edge
The circumstance it turns you inside out
So we can have peace ??? (maybe ... So weak and happy ... suggestions?)
Before you find out what's inside your head
And all the flashing lights and futile cries
They're hopeful, you know ??? (like they're hopeful that he'll jump)
Just close your eyes and take that final step.
