Motorcycle Drive By


Summertime
and the wind is blowing
outside in lower chelsea
and i dont know
what i'm doing in this city
the sun is always in my eyes
it crashes through the windows
and i'm sleeping on the couch
when i came to visit you
thats when i knew
that i could never have you
i knew that before you did
still i'm feeling stupid
nd theres this burning
like theres always been
i've never been so alone
and i've never been so alive. . . .
Visions of you
on a motorcycle drive by
cigarette ash flies in your eyes
and you dont mind
and you smile
you say the world it doesnt fit with you
i dont believe you
you're so serene
careening throught the universe
your axis on a tilt
guiltless and free
i hope you take a peace of me with you
and theres this burning
like theres always been
i've never been so alone
and i've never been so alive. . . .
Where's the soul
i want to know
new york city is evil
the surface is everything
but  could never do that
someone would see through that
and this will be the last time
we'll be friends again
i'll get over you
and you'll wonder
who i am
and theres this burning
like theres always been
i've never been so alone
and i've never been so alive. . . .
I go home
to the coast
it starts to rain
i paddle out
one the water
alone
taste the salt
and taste the pain
i'm not thinking of you again
summer dies and swells rise
the sun goes down in my eyes
see this rolling wave
darkly coming
to take me
home
and i've nevr been so alone
and i've never been so alive. . . .
