lyrics

"Walk slow." she said.
"Stand tall." she said.
"Keep your gaze from flittin' 'round 'round 'round and
Don't forget to smile."
He tied his shoes.
And combed his hair.
Kept his eyes turned down down down and
Forgot to smile.

And the girl in the moon, she don't care
As he sings

Can I feel you tonight
When the heartache comes, surrounding my bed?
Can we please leave off the light for now?
Will I feel more or less alive
After all is said and done in this town?
And will I feel you tonight?
Feel you tonight

Rain comes down.
Pages soaked through.
She says in her sweet, sweet way that
"It's not me it's you."
Mama says "Stop.
She'll break your heart.
She'll wait for one sweet, sweet day
When your footing is firm but your back's up against the wall
And she's fine.
You scream "You're throwin' it all away. Tell me

Can I feel you tonight
When the heartache comes, surrounding my bed?
Can we please leave off the light for now?
Will I feel more or less alive after all is said and done in this town?
And will I feel you tonight?
Feel you tonight

She's faded and fooled
Hopelessly drained.
Followed that fox, looking for what she's gained.
And he hopes that she'll stay, that the past can be cut and rewound.
But she, she doesn't even notice his blood on the ground.

And he, he can't trust his sight.
Like he can't trust a word of his plays.
He just holds her hand tight for days.
And he feels more-or-less alive,
But in none of those saccharin-soft ways.

Can I get through tonight in this place?
I can't stand the moonlight in this place.
I won't live through tonight in the place.
