Here I come
Cuz I don’t know better
I’m a thief and a sinner
I’m a fool and a debtor

You got your pushin’ numbers
You got your pushin’ a broom
And what’s lucky to some

"Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away"

They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
And just the pure at heart will walk her righteous streets someday
They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
But if there is a God, we need Him now
"Where is your God"
That's what my friends ask me

It's a beautiful world,
It's a beautiful day
Un unusual time,
Is coming our way
We're on an adventure,
Hip-hip hooray

Up in a balloon,

I'm gonna let you down
I know that now
Make you cry, I know I will
Why should you believe
I would never leave
Or that I love you still
For all the by and by
Hard as we try

I've been thinking
About you and me
Maybe I was just
Seeing what I wanted to see

You can call me crazy
But you know this time I swore
That I wouldn't run

Today I took a walk up the street
And picked a flower and climbed the hill
Above the lake
And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away
And were we ever somewhere else
You know, it's hard to say

This is your new thing now
Naked as a rose
Everything exposed
But not quite
This is your new thing now
Cards out on the table
A genius with no label
But not quite not quite

I've been sleeping fair
Lately I could swear I'm thinking
Clearer and clearer
And I've been working hard
Looking at my punch card and
My mirror, my mirror
But I daydream in my room
I'm baying at the moon

I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche, ooh
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche, ooh

So be quiet tonight
The stars shine bright
On this mountain of new fallen snow
But I will raise my voice into the void
You have left me nowhere to go

There ain't a lot that you can do in this town.
Drive down to the lake and then you turn back around.
Go to school and learn to read and write.
So you can walk into the county bank and sign away your life.

I work at the fillin' station on the Interstate.
Pumpin' gasoline and countin' out of state plates.
They ask me how far into Memphis girl, and where's the nearest beer.

Sunny came home to her favorite room
Sunny sat down in the kitchen
She opened a book and a box of tools
Sunny came home with a mission
She says days go by I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire

Mamma where's your pretty little girl tonight
She's tryin' to run before she can walk
That's right
She's growing up
She's got a young man waiting
She's growing up
She's got a young man waiting

Baby let me set you down
You look so troubled and I think I know
Just when you think you've come around
There you go
Now I know the business of the heart
And it'll get you anyway it can
You need someone to walk with in the dark well
I'm your man

It still hasn't snowed in a lifetime
And I am still frozen in time
Where did you come from and how could you leave?
And why can't you be mine?

Well, I'm caught in between a lifeline
And a love so deep I will drown
Let it pour like silver in this empty room

That you know
Who you love
You can't deny it
Or go back
Or give up
Or pretend
That you don't buy it

Down at the train they go to Independence everyday
But anywhere else now seems like a million miles away
And I must have been high to believe that I would ever leave
Now I'm just a flat fine line like the Wichita skyline
I rode on the airstream across the great lonesome afternoon
I wished hard enough to hurt drove fast enough to catch the moon
But I must have been dreaming again 'cause there's nothing around the bend
Except for that flat fine line, the Wichita skyline
