The phone broke the silence

Like the screaming of the siren

and I just sat beside it

took another drag on my cigarette

swore I'd never smoke again

and I watched the rain.



Well I knew that it was you

calling just to prove that 

you were as strong as you could be

and you could get along without me anytime

and anyway



CHORUS:



So I just stared though the door screen and I

watched the cars come down the pike

their lights against the sky

like a drive in movie on a country road

that I've seen before

Never like the first time





Blue lights on the dashboard

songs on the radio

oh and how are you to ever know

how much I loved you so you thought that I

was only dreaming





What a suprise it must have been

to realise I was one of them

not a game with just the men

not an angel only a friend

and not someone that you could believe in



*CHORUS*



and out across the rugged hills

the dust blows the wind wails

sunbleached skulls and empty shells

broken men with tales to tell

and I would be one of them.





And how are you to ever know

how far it was gonna go

you fall in love and that's the road

you travel till you can't no more

and then we just we turn around again



*CHORUS*
