Everywhere But Here

Temper temper darling The truth is in the cross talk And the months are growing distant Cities found below the sea have sunk below the traffic's hum And this mountain range is singing AND EVERYBODY'S SINGING ALONG Now, Sunsets paint a vivid image On the horizon and we're all present To make way, make way for the streetlight show Private dancers make this ballet seem so mundane I've let you slip through my fingers yet again There's paste along the seems of your picture AS I TEAR THEM FROM THE FRAMES I PAINTED!!! Tempers flare in the morning before the alarm even gets a chance But baby, Baby I'm not calling the shots because this bedroom has been empty FOR SO LONG! Sentimental gifts seem more like forgery and sin And this mirror, it's leaking out every word I never could find the time to spend I'm cashing you in I'm cashing you in I will always miss the vindictions But the fights were so unclear Princess, may the road bring you everywhere but here
