floating, floating like the breeze in santa fe, got a ringing in my head and a ghost who pushed me out of bed, i heard a girl call her lover on the phone, she longed to flee to paris with her daughter far from home, “tell me do i mean anything to you at all, mark don’t laugh, you’re all i want, just don’t leave me alone”

i want to run 10,000 miles along the highway, run away, turn away, fly away, we’ll blaze like angels through the night, burn our souls in holy light, run away, turn away, fly away

the lipstick painted waitress counts the numbers in my head, she loves her baby’s daughter whose poem i just read, she shared her life with me; stories beautiful with misery, a grandma being mom cause her daughter had to leave, “it’s been three years since we’ve seen her, my life is no sad saga, sometimes i don’t even miss her”

i want to run 10,000 miles along the highway, run away, turn away, fly away, we’ll blaze like angels through the night, burn our souls in holy light, run away, turn away, fly away

you’d see i’m beautiful if i could only shed this bitter skin, i’m living in the shadows on the outside looking in, i’d hold your crippled sorrow, rock it gently as i could, let’s shake the walls down to the ground, and scream our pain like children -

the pretty brown-eyed girl likes to play with my guitar, she laughs and dances for me at her ballerina bar, she holds me close and says she doesn’t want to let me go, her tiny head against me, i sing to her real low, i can see all the beauty that’s inside you, don’t let them tell you all that you can’t do, your dancing is so beautiful, you’re so beautiful -

i want to run 10,000 miles along the highway, run away, turn away, fly away, we’ll blaze like angels through the night, burn our souls in holy light, run away, turn away, fly away
