DON'T ASK ME ABOUT IT, 'CAUSE I CAN'T FAKE IT
IF THERE'S A JINGLE IN MY POCKET, I'M GONNA SHAKE IT
AND IF THEY COME LOOKING FOR YOUI'M GONNA TELL'EM I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME
AND IF THEY'RE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR LOOKING FOR ME I HOPE YOU DO THE SAME
I KNOW IT'S A LONG SHOT, BUT I THINK WE COULD STILL GET OUT OF THIS ONE ALIVE
THE PHONE IS RINGING OFF THE HOOK, BUT I WON'T ANSWER
I'M HAVING REOCCURING DREAMS ABOUT SOME TINY DANCER
AND SHE'S HOLDING ME CLOSE AND COUNTING HEADLIGHTS ON THE HIGHWAY
I EXPLAINED IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT SHE'S NEVER GONNA SEE THINGS MY WAY
I KNOW IT'S A LONG SHOT, BUT I THINK WE COULD STILL GET OUT OF THIS ONE ALIVE

AND FROM THERE, WE'LL TAKE CONTROL

FOR A SECOND THERE, I WAS COVERED IN SPIDERS
THEY WERE EVERYWHERE
IT MADE ME FEEL CRAZY
'CAUSE I COULDN'T SEE NOTHIN' AT ALL EXCEPT FOR HUNDREDS OF LEGS
CLENCHING
NEED TO
GENTLY FEEL YOU
HIGH TIDE
SAVE MY
INSIDES FOR YOU
WE WERE BOYS OF THE SUMMER
WE WERE BLACKED OUT ON COUCHES
WE THOUGHT IT WAS HEAVEN
IT SURE FELT LIKE HEAVEN
WE WERE SPINNING THE DIALS
WE WERE CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS
WE WERE BLACKED OUT ON COUCHES
WE LOST TRACK OF THE SUMMER
IT'S ALL VIRTUAL REALITY, BABY
AND I CAN'T TELL WHAT'S REAL AND WHAT'S NOT

I STARTED LAUGHING AGAIN TODAY
WHEN I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY WAS UP OR WHICH WAY WAS DOWN
BUT I KEPT REACHIN' FOR THE STARS TODAY
I THREW MY HANDS UP, THEY WENT STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE GROUND
AND WHEN I PULLED MY HAND OUT, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT
THERE WAS A BABY SNAKE SITTING IN IT
I SAID, "GODDAMN, BABY SNAKE YOU ARE
SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY SHINING STAR"
AND THAT SWEET BABY SNAKE WHISPERED IN MY EAR
THE THINGS I'D BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE TO HEAR
AND EVEN SOME THINGS I WASN'T WAITING ON AT ALL
YEAH, HE HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE SECRETS OF THE SUN AND THE MOON
AND ASSURED ME BIG CHANGES WERE COMIN' 'ROUND SOON
AND THAT THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, I WAS BOUND TO BE HAVING A BALL
I SAID, "SWEET BABY SNAKE THAT SOUNDS REAL NICE
BUT UP HERE WE'RE ALL PRISONERS OF OUR OWN DEVICE
AND THE COLD WIND BLOWIN' ON OUR SKIN COMPLICATES EVERYTHING
AND STILL WATER RUNS DEEP, YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S TRUE
BUT ONE THING THAT RUNS DEEPER IS THE WORKING MAN'S BLUES
AND I TRUST YOU, BUT I'VE BEEN LET DOWN TOO MANY TIMES TO LOVE YOU
YEAH-_-, I TRUST YOU, BUT I'VE BEEN LET DOWN TOO MANY TIMES TO LOVE YOU

I WANT TO BUY YOU A DRINK, I WANT MAKE YOU MY FRIEND
I WANT TO TELL YOU MY SECRETS, SO I KNOW THAT YOU TRUST ME
I WANT TO LAUGH AT YOUR JOKES, I WANT TO HEAR WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
I WANT OUR FRIENDSHIP TO BLOOM, JUST LIKE A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER
ON THE TOP OF A HILL, IN THE HOT SUMMER SUN
WHERE THE BUMBLE BEES BUZZ AND THE HUMMINGBIRDS HUM
NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY, JUST A BLANKET OF BLUE
AND THE BIRDS, THEY SING A SONG OF LOVE FOR ME AND YOU

IT'S TIME TO DANCE
GO ON AND BOOGIE
THINK HOW MUCH WORSE
ALL OF THIS COULD BE
DOWN IN THE DIRT
DEEP IN THE BLUE SEA
I FEEL MY EYES ROLL BACK
BUT I SEE CLEARLY
A MOMENT SURFING IN YOUR BRAINWAVES
AN EVENING BURNING IN THE SUNSET
A SWEET TOOTH TO KEEP YOU DREAMING OF
THE PERFECT TREAT YOU HAVEN'T TASTED YET
BUT YOU'RE STILL DREAMIN OF YOUR YOUNG YEARS
YOU'LL RISK IT ALL WHEN IT'S A SURE BET
ANOTHER WRECK, ANOTHER WINDOW
A LIFETIME SAYING THAT YOU WON'T FORGET
