The Feeling That We Have
I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
it was the strings of my guitar
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
The drone of flying engines
Is a song so wild and blue
It scrambles time and seasons if it gets thru to you
Then your life becomes a travelogue
Of picture-post-card-charms
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
People will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really
When I spotted six jet planes

She's GoneÂÂ
Everybody's high on consolation.
Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me.
I need a drink and a quick decision.
Now it's all up to me
Just what will be.
She's gone
Oh I, oh I
I gotta learn how to face it.
She's gone.
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace her.
She's gone
Oh I
What went wrong.
Got up in the mornin'
Look in the mirror.
I'm warn as a toothbrush hanging in the stand.
My face ain't lookin' any younger.
Now all I can see is love takin' her toll on me.
[Chorus]
Think I'll spend eternity in the city.
The carbon monoxide chokes my thoughts away.
And the girls help dissolve the memories.
But they can never be what she was to me.
[Chorus]
