Lyrics:
Somebody screaming on Jim Jeffries' dreams Explode into a black fist and fall to the floor He stares up at the sky and he may wish he knew why But you can't go back there no more The future sounds so crazy, we all heard that song before Tomorrow's a name that changed from yesterday to blame When a train just don't stop here anymore I got starry eyed on a coaster ride Andy said, "Man, I need a break from the world outside" And these days my life just careens through a pinball machine I could do so much better but I can't get off the tilt There's a photograph on a tv, black and white Andy says something to you Jack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like She says I forget myself sometimes, too But out past the doorways where we are sleeping Well, the white queen's creeping, the time cat's beeping Now I'm not breaking, the train's just shaking I never made it here before And there's a wide mouth spinning the girls around Till they can't take it any more I used to dream in the dark, in Palisades Park Up over the cliffs and down among the spark It's a long life full of long nights But it's not what I was waiting for Everybody's seen the horses driving down the shore It's a miracle they don't make them anymore So make up ladies, oh wake up baby You walked into the bar like some Saturday star Studs straight on spiked heels and needles and nerves And you're a downtown pride, fully amplified Clyde Gin-tied and Asian, but well preserved Remember Annie outside your bedroom window Saying, "Come on, let's drive across to the Palisades" Keep going till we hit Reno, Nevada I don't see it all that much these days Still there are pages in back of the action stacks Where the white queen's creeping, the time cat's beeping The train's not breaking, the track's just shaking I never made it here before And there's a sky rocket turning the world around But still I can't take it any more And you carry that spark from Palisades Park Down over the cliffs and out into the dark It's a long life full of long nights But it's not what I was looking for Everyone dreams of horses flying round the shore It's a bad dream we're not having anymore Man, have you seen Andy? Hey man, hey man, have you seen him around? Hey man, have you seen my my my my my Andy? Hey man, have you seen him, have you seen him Have you seen him, have you seen him? Hey, have you seen Andy around? Dressed up in a pirate vest, all leathers and feathers and pearls Andy said, "Look at me, man, I'm cooking These hands are gonna figure out this whole world" He said, "Come outside, climb out your bedroom window Shimmy down the fire escape and say goodbye Come outside, " Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like Edie Changing all the time, my leopard spots to polka dots, just say goodbye Come outside, where maybe we can move to California Just meet me at the subway and say goodbye Come outside, the cops all think we're crazy If you steal, you'll just get married To a girl who'll never know you and then say goodbye" Hey man, have you seen Andy? I lost her in the cirque I was high as a kite on a lovely and white Man, you can lose anyone Hey, hey man, have you seen Andy? I don't know where she's gone Real love outlives teenage lust Oh, we could get wet and it keeps us warm Love is like angel dust Lovely sometimes changes us Sometimes we're not Have you been aching with trust or just Have you been waking yourself with lust? Have you been making us up or just taking us home? It's a long wait and a long life Cars frozen in flight All the traffic stops to stare At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada Where nothing but air and a pair of gray paper wings Andy thinks, "Man, I have got nothing to wear" We got nothing to wear We got nothing to wear We got nothing to wear We got nothing to wear
