I Want to See Pulaski at Night

Pulaski at Night

Underlands

You were warmer than the sunshine
She is colder than the wind
I still think about you all the time
I want you back again

Days and nights we spent together
Just enough to fall in love
When I left her to come back to her
What was I thinking of

Now I see what I've done
Mistook the moon for the sun
I'm freezing in the middle of the night
Disillusioned by the paleness of the light

Time after time
I've run the memories through my mind
I see you in the morning
I dream of you at night

Love is easy to remember
It ain't easy to forget
It's getting harder to pretend to her
I don't love you a bit

Now I see what I've done
Mistook the moon for the sun
I'm freezing in the middle of the night
Disillusioned by the paleness of the light

Time after time
I've run the memories through my mind
I see you in the morning
I dream of you at night

You were warmer than the sunshine
She is colder than the wind
Don't know how I got in such a bind
I want you back again

Now I see what I've done
Mistook the moon for the sun
I'm freezing in the middle of the night
Disillusioned by the paleness of the light
I’m freezing in the middle of the night
Disillusioned by the paleness of the light

Now I See

For Megan.

Better medicate
Unfamiliar ground to me
Leave it by the back door
I don't have time for this

I tried to reach you, total waste of time
I tried to read you, total waste of time

It's a long way from here
Paths that reach out it in all directions

Wonder if you'll take it
When the branch is dry?
You've given up the right to
Be around for this

I tried to reach you, total waste of time
I tried to read you, total waste of time

It's a long way from here
Paths that reach out it in all directions

It's a long way home (no remedy in sight)

leave it by the back door

LYRICS:
That was the last New Year I'll ever see
And I wanna stay on that magic mountain
With lost souls and beautiful women
I drank some of Farmer's potion
And we were moving in slow motion

The slower, the better
The slower, the better
'Cause there's no one old on magic mountain
There's no one old, old on magic mountain

And that was the very last barn I'm burning
So for now everyone is dancing
As if it's any time but the present
So for now every young thing in my path
I'll hold their face so long inside my hands

The longer, the better
The longer, the better
'Cause there's no one old on magic mountain
There's no one old, old on magic mountain

The wine has all been emptied
And smoke has cleared
As people file back to the valley
On the last night of life's party
These days the years thin till I can't remember
Just what it feels like to be young forever

So the longer I stay here
The longer there's no future
So I'm growing old on magic mountain
I'm growing old, old on magic mountain
