WORDS 'n' STUFF
We're self-important fools who think that lyrics actually count for something, so we thought we'd share some of ours with you. Here are the lyrics that go along with the song clips.
Summertime in Eden
Next to who knows where
The enemy pushes back his chair
Now his words are flowing free
Yet fall deaf upon her ears
And dinner's flying through the air
She's hiding in the corner
Playing out the day's events
She remembers the first time that he hit her
Can't remember where they met
She says "Go away
You're never gonna change
And it feels like rain"
:: CHORUS ::
I feel like walking with the sun on my face
And making it through another day
I think I've been another fool rushing in
Given one more chance, one more chance
To screw it all up again
Summertime ain't easy
Ask her how her day was spent
27 years in this town makes everyone
seem just like the rest
She married her childhood sweetheart
In that typical Eden way
Never knowing who to turn to
as her youth began to fade
She says "No way
I'm never gonna stay
And I feel like change"
:: CHORUS ::
Every time that she thinks about it
She knows him all too well
Still she thinks to herself that maybe someday
someday ....
Summertime in Eden
Nothing I can recommend
Just a sign along the highway
On the road to make amends
Now with miles and miles between us
And the truth she left behind
I see regret in her reflection
Looks as if she changed her mind
She said "No way
I could never wanna stay
And I feel like change"
:: CHORUS ::
Catch me now I'm falling
Falling farther down
There are shadows on the wall that
Follow me around
And I do appreciate the time I had
And I want what once was mine
Again, again
The good and the bad times
It's getting harder to compare the two
When you're feeling lonely
'To whom it may concern' was meant for you
Times are changing
The lunatics exchange their points of view
Suddenly I realize
After all this time
Catch me now I'm falling
Falling farther down
If I live to see tomorrow
Guess I won't see you around
And I still appreciate the time I had
And I want what once was mine
Again, again
Couldn't get any easier
The suicide solution don't apply
I could cry like a baby
But what's the point
You left me far behind
Listening to the radio
Singing "Bye, bye, bye, American pie"
Suddenly I realize
After all this time
Left alone at the five and dime
Quite the drama, at the tender young age of five
Somewhere between automotive and oblivion
I caught the vision with the rising sun
Looking down at me
I felt a calm within my reach
There hanging on the wall
Was a face I'd never seen before
And all they wanted me to be
Was insignificant, 'til I was old enough to leave
And all that I wanted to learn
Was none of my concern
Who's going to believe us
Just me and my black Jesus
Days roll on and time drags by
We set our standards and principles
Then watch them die
A bit of a skeptic, unsure of what I hear
I've waited a lifetime
For the white man to appear
Before he sealed my faith
He etched these lines across my face
I know, when we meet again
I'll recognize my friend
Ain't it simple enough
Maybe I don't care enough
