Calling Station

Lyrics

[Intro] She rubbed her eyes And faked a smile for me and said "it's like I never go to sleep I just lay in bed" [Verse 1] No dreams, it keeps me up In an airport bar at midnight Waiting for our plane to come Wait until we see this moonlight turn into the morning sun All wet as we hit the ground And we find ourselves on Glendale Hard rain is pouring down But if we're fast, we'll catch the light rail [Pre-Chorus] Gaining speed and with every turn We hold our breath and we never learn Our left from right and our right from wrong And I wonder if they'll notice that we're gone [Chorus] As we ride on, out past the county line We got this whole night, no stoplights To slow us down, we can leave it all behind And though old days might never slip away And lines on my face might not fade I won't look back as we make this getaway [Verse 2] Train light, it keeps me up I keep on staring out this window The rain storm is drying out And showing cracks across the pavement here under setting sun We gaze out with a clearer view And we look for signs in nothing Clouds show a silver moon Now I know that that means something [Pre-Chorus] Gaining speed and with every turn We hold our breath and we never learn Our left from right and our right from wrong And I wonder if they'll notice that we're gone [Chorus] As we ride on, out past the county line We got this whole night, no stoplights To slow us down, we can leave it all behind And though old days might never slip away And lines on my face might not fade I won't look back as we make this getaway [Outro] We don't owe you a goddamn thing What you got's all you're getting, no more from me I'm done watching the clock inside Tick away every second 'til I bleed dry We'll get by We don't owe a goddamn thing What you got's all you're getting, no more from me We're miles away from all that now From the early graves, the poison ground We fly out past Division Street And I see that you finally fell asleep Think we just hit our stop
