lyrics

I try to sleep as someone shouts a soliloquy
from a third floor balcony
Mary Magdalene on a megaphone
drownin' out the baritones
but what would you do
in those ragged shoes?
I doubt you'd have a clue
And to throw a stone
when you're most alone
now that would be some news

Champagne eyes in the early morn'
kissed by the mona lisa dawn
she's drunk again though no one sees
the things behind the sun
no one cares for a tragedy
turn the channel find a situational comedy
a brand new page
for old mistakes
sounds like a perfect plan

And I've been plagued as of late by insomnia
lullabies don't stop my head
from thinking thoughts I can't explain
a strangers face in the midnight rain
the music never lasts
Debussy in an hourglass
I just need a nocturne
that'll forever burn
a candle without wind

In the missile silo afternoon
as the sun hides behind the moon
everything around me is melting fast
as this taxi cab runs out of gas
left you in Brooklyn
they say the bridges are all broken
and I wouldn't miss
the Apocalypse
for just any girl

So I sit alone on the sidewalk
let all the others talk
I'll meditate on this mountaintop
and watch the world melt away
I'm finally getting tired now
it might be time to sleep
but when you're lost in yourself
there's no real way to tell
just how to get back home
