Where To Go Shalala
03:46

Took 22 hours to get from Buffalo to Atlanta
And strangely it feels I haven’t moved an inch at all
The weather here is warmer
But the people here are colder
Or maybe it’s me who has frozen most of all
Took 22 years to get from birth to constant boredom
When no one I meet impresses me at all
And every conversation rings a little bit hollow
Or maybe it’s me who has nothing good to say at all.
Chorus:
Then I said
Where to go shalala
My shoes are full of holes but they still get me around
Where to go shalala
I can go most anywhere at all.
The exhaust from my van must’ve killed some brain cells in my head
I can’t remember what the fuck brought me here
The price of gas is cheaper but there’s nowhere I really wanna drive
Except on an interstate heading west
Warm California sun…
My thoughts return to Buffalo
My friends who used to hug me
It seems nobody here wants to touch me at all
I see vacant eyes, flashy clothes
The bottom half of an upturned nose
And I said “I gave up everything for this”
Chorus
The only place I need to fit in
Is the body that I’m in

Cloudboy

Airplanes and jumping trains
I know he understands them
Shooting stars who sleep in cars
I used to live that life
Christmas lights shine off his records
As they spin
There’s more to my people
Than dirty jeans and safety pins
So I warn him
That I could love him
He might not feel the same way but that is okay
So just be my friend instead
Chorus:
Cause I’m a cloudboy
Yes I’m a cloudboy
And I live for the things that a highway can bring
Knowing you makes that okay
Yes I’m a cloudboy
“Free as a bird” says the jukebox and he sings along
And here at this table sit people who live like that song
Homeless Larry with coffee must wonder if life has a cause
Or if Jesus will turn out to be just like Santa Claus
I look at Holly…Keith and Aaron
And the boy in the corner who’s making me smile
Showing me doing nothing can be worthwhile
Repeat Chorus
Now watch me hit the highway

Too Much Love

God I’m lucky I met you
Wish I felt more stable than I do
I often feel I’m in outer space
But when you sing in your car I felt I found my place
I love trains and the speed they go
A backpack and a jump we’re in Mexico
I wanna rest my mouth on top of your head
But I think you’re happy on your side of the bed
Don’t let these moments die…
Chorus:
Too much love and I don’t know where I should point it to
Too much love and I don’t know if I should give it to you
Asleep on my shoulder yellow lines speed by
And the clouds perform magic in the Florida sky
The best feeling I’ve ever had
I cry a lot lately and it’s not because I’m sad
I love trains they ain’t got no town
You’re a lot like them no one can hold you down
I really like it when you sleep here
But the cold night after is what I fear
Don’t let these moments die
Repeat Chorus
It’s all good…that’s what you’d say right now
It’s all good…I know that’s what you’d say right now I’ve got
Repeat Chorus
Too much love and I know I want to sleep next to you
And when I run will I run to you or run far away?

Long Distance Running

A bridge that holds two sides is not forever
When you sleep a certain way it’s hard to change
Maybe stars and stripes should never be together
But patterns are so hard to re-arrange
My step-father bought her a car
But her needs are bigger than his are
This might be her one chance to be alive
I love to ride the subway and watch strangers
It’s like a motion picture but it’s real
This life of bugs and gunshots isn’t so bad after all
But I hope it’s not the only life I’ll know
My mother feels her whole life’s been a waste
My grandma’s gone to a higher place
And I wonder what it means to be alive
Some people claim they’d really like to hurt me
But still I’m gonna walk the streets alone
If people won’t talk to you anymore
Were they ever really your friends?
Sometimes it takes getting crazy
To see you need to change
So I leave them with their silly traps
And go out collecting dots on maps
I see now that they’ll never see
A casualty of who I used to be
Well I found a way I love to be alive
Long distance running…
