heavy rotation

and every pop song on the radio is suddenly speaking to me...

there are places I'll remember, all my life
though some have changed
some forever, not for better
some have gone and some remain

sunrise doesn't last all morning
a cloudburst doesn't last all day
seems my love is up and left you with no warning
it's not always going to be this gray
all things must pass
all things must pass away

and somebody told me
that this is the place
where every thing's better,
where every thing's safe
walk on the ocean
step on the stones
flesh becomes water
wood becomes bone

when I'm alone
when I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
when I've lost all care for the things I own
that is when I miss you,
that is when I miss you,
you who are my home, you who are my home

she gave him everything that she had
changed anything he said was bad
love weighed on her heart like marble stone
a flash of the knife and he was gone
he said he would give her the sun and the moon
now all she has is this eight-by-eight room
killing him didn't make the love go away

children by the million sing for Alex Chilton
when he comes 'round
they sing "I'm in love. What's that song?
I'm in love with that song."

Reno Dakota, I'm reaching my quota
of tears for the year
alas and alack you don't call me back
you have just disappeared
it makes me drink beer

when you're mind's made up,
when you're mind's made up
there's no point in trying to change it

you say love is a hell you cannot bear
I say give me mine back and then go there, for all I care...
