lyrics

Yell at me your problems of the world
and relay to me your dreams of saintly girls
who love the smell of gasoline and cigarettes
and how none you know will be like that you suspect
explain to me just how your troubled mind
has still found better things about which to write
you tell me love has broken all your body's bones
but you have a home closer to Heaven than my own,
than my own.

So in my vision, I am sitting
singing songs I've not yet written
that are carried by the New York sun and breeze.
Get in a car with my brother,
say goodbye to my mother,
with the trouble of a lover far behind me.

Play for me the music's perfect jazz
let your fingers move unnaturally fast
combine your mood with thoughts that you can sing,
and swear to me you're improvising.
Be the model life that will live long
and without words show me I'm mixing mine all wrong.
Remind me who I was before I hurt—
I'm tainted by love and song and can't remember


So in my vision, I am sitting
singing songs I've not yet written
that are carried by the New York sun and breeze.
Get in a car with my brother,
say goodbye to my mother,
with the trouble of a lover far behind me—
And California may or may not miss me.
