Back To Baltimore | Janie

Back to Baltimore Find the station in the early morning rain Find a place between the impatiens Push apart the morning dew swolen from the rain Try to find a place among your pain Found a little faith but the audience lied Just another face on location Found a little piece of you in someone else's eyes I take what I find I don't ask for reasons And we go back to a place where I've been Back to Baltimore To the places I remember And the people I have seen And a boy who smiles and bears a slight resemblance to me Well, now who's going to take the time to make sure everything's alright ? Who's going to bring the curtains down on you ? Who's going to burn the mirror, baby, down the other side ? Who's going to notice everything I do ? Close your eyes and the train runs by again Whistle shivers out into the distance I keep missing precious seconds moments pass me by I wish I could offer some resistance And we go back to a place where I've been Back to Baltimore To the places I remember And the people I have seen And a boy who smiles and bears a slight resemblance to me Well, now who's going to take the time to make sure everythings alright ? Who's going to bring the curtains down on you ? Who's going to burn the mirror, baby, down the other side ? Who's going to notice everything I do ? And we go back to a place where I've been Back to Baltimore To the places I remember And the people I have seen And a boy who smiles and bears a slight resemblance to me Back to top

Janie I was walking down the street one day last week, Janie came up to me, and she say, "Said I got two eight balls for eyes They're gonna roll right into your heart any day now" Well I said, "Baby, if you fall into a pocket in my heart, it's gonna pump you away." But Janie walks in crooked circles When she leaves, you know she's always here to stay. When they say you're coming home, I can watch you walk away The sensations are the same my television says the same things anyway. Sometimes Janie stands beneath a storm, and tells me rain doesn't really fall everywhere She says that there's a place to hide if she could only fit inside the space between the falling water and the air Oooooh, but that's no reason for you to stand outside in the rain Baby, you can drown yourself in sorrow Just don't try to tell them that it's pain It's so much simpler if we all use the same names. Janie watches all the walls 'cause she's afraid they're gonna run away to Paris or to Rome, while Janie sits alone at home But colors always run and nothing's perfect when it's done The people do the best they can. or so they say. It all seems the same to Janie anyway. Janie's way behind her eight balls. In a pocket watching, looking, staring out at me And the life we take for granted is very different from the visions Janie sees Do you wonder, wonder, wonder what's behind your televsion screen ? Janie's there behind the looking glass, looking for a reason to dream. And the person in her eyes is who Janies wants to be Tell them everything they want, but Janie, just don't ever tell them what you see. Or they'll lock you up and throw away the key. Janie watches all the walls 'cause she's afraid they're gonna run away to Paris or to Spain, while Janie slowly goes insane. But colors always run and nothing's perfect when it's done The people do the best they can. Or so they say. Hey, it all seems the same to Janie anyway. It all seems the same to Janie anyway. It all seems the same to Janie anyway. Janie watches all the walls 'cause she's afraid they're gonna run away to Paris or London while Janie's swallowing a gun. But this is not a game 'cause everybody ends the same. It's not that Janie's such a sucker, she's been lied to motherf***er, it's such a shame. Jamie learned the rules to someone else's game. Oh, Jamie learned the rules to someone else's game.
