Em     G       C        D             Em
I'm an accident I was driving way to fast
Couldn't stop though so I let the moment last
I'm for rolling I'm for tossin' in my sleep
It's not guilt though it's not the company I keep

People my age they don't do the things I do
They go somewhere while I run away with you
I got my friends and I got my children too
I got her love she's got my love too

I can't hear you but I feel the things you say
I can't see you but I see what's in my way
Now I'm floating 'cause I'm not tied to the ground
Words I've spoken seem to leave a hollow sound

On the long plain see the rider in the night
see the chieftain see the braves in cool moonlight
Who will love them when they take another life
Who will hold them when they tremble from the knife

Voicemail numbers on an old computer screen
Rows of lovers parked forever in a dream
Screaming sirens echoing across the bay
To the old boats from the city far away

Homeless heroes walk the streets of their hometown
Rows of zeros on the field that's turning brown
They play baseball they play football under lights
They play card games and we watch them every night

Need distraction, need romance and candlelight
Need random violence, need entertainment tonight
Need the evidence want to testimony of
Expert witnesses on the brutal crimes of love

I was too tired to see the news when I got home
Pulled the curtain fell into bed alone
Started dreaming saw the rider once again
In the doorway where she stood and watched for him
(watched for him)

I'm not present I'm a drug that makes you dream
I'm an Aerostar I'm a cutlass supreme
In the wrong lane trying to turn against the flow
I'm the ocean I'm the giant undertow
