The secrets that we keep say them in our sleep
And wrestle down our souls if they would speak
I watched you board a train in the London rain
And waved bye-bye as you slipped out of view

Diane
Diane
We'll make it out together
We'll make it out
We'll make it out

In your dreams when the smile now comes
You're mumbling words with a lazy tongue
We lie together when we say it's love
Who were you just thinking of, Diane?

Diane
Diane I don't say it but I know you know

The theme returns so deep
And visits us in sleep

To define the you and I as we

So we pass the time and occupy our minds
And close our eyes and hope that we'll be fine

Diane
Diane
We'll make it out together
We'll make it out together
We'll make it out
We'll make it out

And I may leave in time you'll see
I'll come right back for you
And I may leave in time you'll see
I'll come right back for you, for you

You walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you'll get your way
You closed the door and stumbled down to the street
Where you wring your hands
And you drag your feet

Where the words can't find you
Lost inside you

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning

But you can't hide standing under these stars
They know everything they know where you are
You're in your hair you're all turned around with it
And they're shining down their light to bring you back again

Back where I can find you
To crawl inside you

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning

All you want to see is make believe, it's nothing
But way down underneath

I'm ringing all the warning bells
Careful you don't hurt yourself
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
I'll be the one to tell
Careful, you'll hurt yourself
Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning

Throw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you split
Your bass guitar and shag CD
Well, they don't mean that much to me
Right now I'm going through your things
These days, I'm changing all my strings

I'm gonna write you letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I want to see your reaction
I want to see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

You won't get too far from me
Believing everything you read
Wasted in the great unknown
And I am finally ready to dispose
Of all your vintage clothes
Your drugs and every secret code

I'm gonna write you letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I want to see your reaction
I want to see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

From your red balloon, you were
A super high tech jet fighter
Floating over Planet Earth
Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts
Take this bitter pill
Is it easy to swallow?

I'm gonna write you letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I want to see your reaction
I want to see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Never coming down
And are you getting somewhere
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam, Amsterdam?

In the backyard
In the garden
you were always there
digging down where roots would burrow underneath

now the grass is always overgrown
and the weeds are choking out the sun
pretty soon they'll come under the door
and you don't care

In the backyard
since last summer
almost nothing left
just some pieces of the roots that once dug in

and the grass is always overgrown
and the weeds are choking out the sun
why do you still come home anymore
when you don't care?

on your way to the best years of your life
everyone's banging on their gongs
the sooner you leave the sooner you're home
back in massachusetts
to your golden age where they tuck you in at night

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king

did you hear that? have you heard that sound before?
do you even know where it is coming from?
it's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out
into the arms of 1994

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
you're not homecoming king

you stand on your own
wasn't what you hoped at all
do you still recall it
giving dead-arms in the hall?
stay right where you are
you'll be half of who you were
when you always would win
so count the days 'til you give in

back to massachusetts
to your golden age where your crown is shining bright

you didn't see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king

did you see it coming
now who you gonna wave to?
this time you're not homecoming king

Ramona where have you been?
I couldn't go to sleep 'til you came in
Ramona you're Miss Oklahoma and you
Miss Oklahoma
I'll get you what you want

Cause there were days when a refrain
Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane
When you would sing that song for me
Just like your favorite singer

Why'd you have to be so nice?
A wink and a girlie smile
And why'd you have to punch my eye?
That was something
But did you want me to stay?

When I was younger and thought of myself
I never dreamed I'd become like this
A snap of your fingers an end to the arguments
Anything for you, love

Cause there were days when a refrain
Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane
When you would sing that song for me
The only one you know
But I know now, not at the start
We're going to pieces we're falling apart
So come and sing that song for me
Just like your favorite singer?

5a.m. March 16
Jesus on the radio
You took a photograph of me
In your yellow bucket seat
It's too high it's too wide
You're so low you don't know
To get through to go around

So don't look back

There ain't nothing there to see
Was once like you
Can't say I recognize that face
In that picture that you keep

It's too high it's too wide
You're so low you don't know
To get through to go around
To get through to go around

When we all finally washed ashore
It was clear there was no one else around
We declared a national holiday
A chance to build it from the ground
So far away from everyone
And everything starts today

Keep it together
Can we keep it together
We're singing a new song now
And everything starts today

Can we rise? Can we get along alright?
Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in?
And the boats went out at night
And the choppers in the sky
They searched but they could find no trace of us
So far away from everyone
And everything starts today

Keep it together
Can we keep it together
We're singing a new song now
And everything starts today

The thunder struck, the clouds appeared
Our fearless crew was not prepared
And pretty soon the boats came for us
Half a million strong
We gathered arms and fired shells
We built a wall around ourselves
And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like
What it used to be back home

So far away from everyone
And everything starts today

Keep it together
Can we keep it together
We're singing a new song now
And everything starts today

Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes
Right in tune with "Dark Side of the Moon"
Someone, someone could tell me
Where I belong
Be calm, be brave, it'll be okay

No more messing around and living underground
On new year's resolutions
By this time next year, I won't be here after long
I turn on, turn on MTV, the volume's down
Lips move, they say
It'll be okay

To tell you the truth, I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
One last time these words from me
I'm never saying them again
And I shut the light
And listen as my watch unwinds

To tell you the truth I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I've been half-asleep
I'm never doing that again

I look straight at what's coming ahead
And soon it's going to change in a new direction
Every night as I'm falling asleep
These words repeated in my head

Voices calling from a yellow road
To come downstairs and say hello
Don't be shy, just say hello

To tell you the truth I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
I know I've been half-asleep
I'm never doing that again

I look straight at what's coming ahead
And soon it's going to change in a new direction
Every night as I'm falling asleep
Those words repeated in my head

doesn't it bring you down
so many lights and sounds
call your mom on the telephone
tell her you're coming home

tell her there's not a chance
you're ever going to change the world

if you want to be free take a sip of this tea
join the red oyster cult
if you drink the whole cup you will never grow up
you will never grow old

remember when you were 14
you'd paint ever picture so green
call your mom on the telephone
tell her your muse is gone

tell her there's not a chance
you're ever going to change the world
just a few drops away you'll never want to
change the world

if you want to be free take a sip of this tea
join the red oyster cult
if you drink the whole cup you will never grow up
you will never grow old

call your mom on the telphone
tell her you're coming home
tell her there's not a chance you're ever
going to change
the world
just a few drops away
you'll never have to change

Dreamt I was dead sleeping in your bed
Floated up from the ground and looked down
Then finally, I could see completely
Heard the angels song

I know what you are
I could never tell
They sang what you are

This far away, your a miniature to me
Are you sorry, you've almost disappeared?

Now I know what you
I could never tell
They sang what you are

Now the notes are fading
Everything is turning around
And I can't help but thinking
It's a long way down
All the lights are changing
And everything is turning around
And I can't help but thinking
It's a long way down

And I know what you are
I could never tell
They sang what you are

And I know what you are
I could never tell
I know what you are

I'm awake, you're still sleeping
The sun will rise like yesterday
Everything that we are now
Is everything we can't let go
Or it's gone forever far away

I hope tomorrow is like today, like today

Don't you go away tomorrow
I don't think I could handle that
You're probably dreaming that you're flying on then,
You start to fall
But then you rise,
And shine forever,
Don't go away

I hope tomorrow is like today,
I hope tomorrow is like today

(Instremental Part)

Like today,
I hope tomorrow is like today,
I hope tomorrow is like today,
I hope tomorrow is like today

Like today.
