Getaway Car 04:24
no song to be given so I write one of my own one that screams to heaven one to help roll back the stone one to feed the demon till the demon's overthrown no song to be given so I write one of my own there's no love between us so i write one of my own one that cried a river sent a hammer to the dawn like all walls that crumble and get eaten by the sun there's no love between us so I write one of my own we'll get tired we'll get wired and we'll fire up the getaway car there's no world to speak of so I write one of my own one where giants die and men build cities on their bones one where babies cry but they never die alone there's no world to speak of until I write one of my own we'll get tired we'll get wired and we'll fire up the getaway car

when live alisa cries the rain it catches my eye i'd stay more than awhile when live alisa smiles blue neon patches the sky when live alisa cries skyscraper comets run wild when live alisa smiles go in your doorway you don't know what you're getting ain't good at lovin' I'm just good at forgetting don't want the real thing i'm chasing the vision i can't give an answer but i'll give you the reason am i the reason why my live alisa cries fall every once in a while see live alisa smile see live alisa smile..

here comes anna lee flashing live wire eyes at me am i where i wanna be? time is a whirlwind see how it flies here comes anna lee dragging sunday out to sea she said stay i disagreed cos i still remember how she cut him to size making him crawl with the blues in her eyes so you follow her down and you spread it around and the pipes on the rooftops don't utter a sound and she tells you to fly and you cover your eyes she's rising above you you're tongue tied here comes anna lee dragging sunday out to sea flashing live wire eyes at me and slashing the storm cloud see how she flies dressed in new lightning with the fools in her eyes..

warm boy in a cold town and the snow like ash falls down finds his friends and welcomes them to his brand new life new heart just found but the old one keeps him down light a candle where you stand and burn your body down been broke insane walking broken in the rain you make a world of your own when the real one makes you cry all minds unsound with the turning of the ground light a candle where you stand and burn your body down young man gone mad and now i'm gonna leave again gonna pave the road ahead with the love she left behind and all the love that you send will never bring me back again light a candle where you stand and burn your body down warm boy in a cold town and the snow like ash falls down light a candle where you stand and burn your body down..

you know it doesn't make me feel saintly when i make a woman cry and your the only girl i ever met that ever looked me in the eye a motive wasn't clear at least that's how it seems to me but i can be a danger if you want me to be cos i can take a heart and i can throw it from the mountain to the sea you know you got a knack for telling everyone that everything is fine but please don't make me part of any problems now you're not a part of mine a hand that wants to bleed it doesn't need a knife to cut a door that doesn't want you doesn't need a hand to shut you know i wanna help you but i'm lying on the outside looking up another night another door another bed another couch another clock another head another eye another hand another heart you know i'd like a name instead and every morning is another day to try to send an answer to the corner of the sky, every lover is a question till the night i find a name that will be mine i need a name that will be mine...

San Jose 02:39
three days gone in san jose my friends and me had lost our way the grass in our hair and the pain on our face we were laughing with time on our side starving kids on the old stone street looking for fun and a chance to eat an old man tripped and we watched him bleed like the sun as it fell in the sea everybody smiling you could feel the day unwinding the kids were close to blinded we made the scene we watched the church bells ring three days gone in san jose.
