Lyrics.

Blue Sunshine by Blue October

I see your heart beat through the bedsheet
I feel your pulse against the floor
I sleep the sadness that no one else sleeps
Can you feel me cunningly adore?

As the tick-tock clock lies Goldilocks
What a sick enchanted view
Of the white blot sin that we all began
This is not the girl that I once knew

Blue sunshine, I've got no vacancies
At the top of the clock was Jesus spying on me
I spoke of friends
Point me which direction
I tried a bribe of when I die but swore he'd never mentioned

I kicked and I screamed
"It's simple, you must sing
The day I take you, you'll be sleeping
You won't feel a thing."


Land Locked Blues by Bright Eyes

If you walk away, I'll walk away
First tell me which road you will take
I don't wanna risk our paths crossing someday
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way

And the future hangs over our heads
And it moves with each current event
Until it falls all around like a cold, steady rain
Just stay in when it's looking this way

And the moon's laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case
They argue, "Walk this way." "No, walk this way."

And Laura's asleep in my bed
As I'm leaving, she wakes up and says,
"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
Baby, don't go away, come here."

And there's kids playing guns in the street
And one's pointing his tree branch at me
And so I put my hands up, I said, "Enough is enough,
If you walk away, I'll walk away," and he shot me dead.

I found a liquid cure for my land locked blues
It will pass away like a slow parade
It's leaving, but I don't know how soon

And the world's got me dizzy again
You'd think after 22 years, I'd be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I'm always pacing around or walking away

I keep drinking the ink from my pen
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quoteable phrase:
"If you love something, give it away..."

A good woman will pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
You may be offended and you may be afraid
But don't walk away, don't walk away

We made love on the living room floor
With the noise in the background from a televised war
And in that deafening pleasure, I thought I heard someone say,
"If we walk away, they'll walk away."

But greed is a bottomless pit
And our freedom's a joke, we're just taking a piss
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
If you're still free, start running away, 'cause we're coming for you

I've grown tired of holding this pose
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
Saying, "Let me walk away, please."

You'll be free, child, once you have died
From the shackles of language and measureable time
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
Till then, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away

So I'm up at dawn putting on my shoes
I just wanna make a clean escape
I'm leaving but I don't know where to
I know I'm leaving, but I don't know where to...
