Oh I came from the sun but I landed in the snow

Had my own reasons but nowhere to go

I knocked on the door of that old shabby bar

Where you stood on the stage with your

beat-up guitar



I waited for the band to break and we spoke

I gave you my name and you offered me a smoke

Well the sirens were screamin' at a full moon

that night

You said can I ring you and I said goodnight

and went...



Hiding from your love

Oh yeah hiding from your love



I walked through the avenues with those

dirt-lettered names

Each criminal so different,

yet somehow we're the same

They walked up to me, seeing something in my eyes

When I took up their offer they were not surprised



I sent myself flying above the noise and the squalor

Couldn't wait to get home and pick up the phone

By then I was feeling just a little bit taller

And thinking I might like to not be alone and be...



Chorus



Well I told you about Mama then we talked about Jesus

I told you about a trailer in the woods all alone

Said I would meet you at the corner of Seventh

Well you should've known that I'd never show

and I'd be...



Chorus
