about

Just a song about a bartender.

lyrics

She gets out of bed with the radio on
And drives herself to a job she does not care for
And in her car she’s flying down the highway
Flagging down this life that someone else has made for her
And so her drives are long and her time is short
And in her head she’s running just like a train, she fades away

When everybody has got a reason to stay,
But you and I we don’t know right from wrong
When the lives we start to live they feel so vain
And the lives we used to love have gone away

And It’s another sleepless night, It’s another broken dream
It’s another night I don’t know where you are
And it’s another sleepless dream, It’s another broken heart
It’s another time she’s left here all alone

She gets sewn up tight when they tell her to
To take her life and plot it out in Technicolor frames
So she’s praying now to come undone
Waiting ‘round for someone new to sew her wings back on
And every night she looks out at the sky
She’ll see the sun it’s setting behind smoky bar windows

Yah and it’s all like a dream inside your head
And she’s already dreaming of the life that she will live
But you and I we don’t know where to run
But you know you don’t have to know this all at once

(Chorus)

And how can I be so lost?
And how can she be sewn uptight?
And how can I be without anybody who’ll tell me which way to run?

(Chorus)
