A body is being dragged across the floor
At least that's what it sounds like upstairs
A couple’s going at it next door
He's convinced she likes it, she's convinced he cares
There's always someone smoking something in the alley
And on the sidewalk, between the vacant stares…
These days, a good soul is hard to find
I swear to God, I swear to God
These days, a good soul is hard to find
A shouting match is echoing down the hall
There’s no sunlight left to clean their open sores
And a wrecking crew is rattling the walls
The devil’s hammer wakes me, shakes to my core
I can only get a call back from my dealer
Who the hell is left in this town anymore?
Hear the scratching claws
In the dead of night?
I'm chewing off my nails
So I don’t use them in daylight

Lost In February

You wander down a Phoenix street
Stumbling on your aching feet
The street lights swinging, blinking red
You're battered by the howling wind
Each icy gust, it stings your skin
And in defeat, you hang your head
And you tell yourself its only temporary
That you'll catch the next flight out of the ordinary
The lobby smells a little too sweet
You wait in line for a place to sleep
Your baggage tries to weigh you down
You wear a smile, but its strained
Not quite sincere and hard to maintain
But it remains there even now
From where you stand, you can’t find sanctuary
Once again, you're lost in February
I have an obligation for each hour I'm awake
But all I've ever earned can fit inside this suitcase
No matter where I might take off, I land in the same place
Stranded nowhere, late for something somewhere else
And if I lie awake, I'll hear the tolling bell
But if it tolls for me, I can only blame myself
And you tell yourself it's only temporary
(You wear a smile but it's strained)
That you'll catch the next flight out of the ordinary
(Not quite sincere and hard to maintain)
From where you stand, you can't find sanctuary
(There's on one else to blame)
Once again you're lost in February

I Believe In Gravity

Somewhere over Greenland
Its crystal clear tonight
I’ve had hours with my thinking
it comes to me in the reading light
I’m pretty sure
We don’t all get what we deserve
But with a little luck,
We end up where we’re supposed to be
I believe in gravity
It’s not that I’m afraid of falling
I’m scared I already am
It’s the steepest, sharpest angles
They call to me to join the damned
And countless times
I’ve peered over in my mind
But I don’t lose my balance
I always seem to keep my feet
I believe in gravity
And if the lighting
Strikes while I'm 7 miles high
If the first shot in the next world war
Sends me tumbling from the sky
That’s just my luck
It was a privilege just to fly
And I’d have my regrets,
But I’d laugh until I plunge into the sea
I believe in gravity

I sat at my window and watched the rain
With each breath the frost came to life, then died on the windowpane
My breath came to life and died on the windowpane
And when the storm passed, I knew it was time
To walk out the door and leave another home behind
And then I gazed upward
And studied the skyline
I wondered who was working late that night
My mind and I wandered
Sometimes together
And I counted the street lamps that I walked by
My hands are shoved in my pockets, I pretend I'm James Dean
I swear it's not for effect, this is not the final scene
I've just lingered too long, there's somewhere else I should be
“You can't keep haunting this town," the wind whispers to me
And now I gaze upward
And study the skyline
I wonder who is working late that night
My mind and I wander
Sometimes together
And I count the street lamps that I walk by
The lights that once led me
The words that consoled me
I swear that I'm thankful for them all
But with no stars to guide me,
No voices to lead me,
I'll follow my shadow on the wall
And wherever I'm going, I'll leave there someday
'Cuz if you try to go somewhere, you're trying to go away
And then I'll gaze upward
And study the skyline
I'll wonder who is working late that night
My mind and I'll wander
Sometimes together
And I'll count the street lamps that I walk by
The lights that once led me
The words that consoled me
I swear that I'm thankful for them all
But with no stars to guide me,
No voices to lead me,
I'll follow my shadow on the wall
