I was sitting today
In a little place in Montauk just listening to the waves
Something in the air seems a little strange
Either something in my mind
Or the world just kind of changed
Chorus:
{ Must have dropped something running from the rain
And I know I’ve never really been completely sane
But a piece of solidity melted from my brain
I don’t know what but something’s gone
Must have lost another piece of my head
Must have lost another piece of my head
Must have lost another piece of my head}
Come on back mister Jones
I’ve seen you lurking ‘round a couple songs
And I think I’ve seen your face before
When I stared mindlessly at the open door
When everything about myself just couldn’t be found
No one really knows what’s going down
No one really knows what’s going down
:Chorus:
I’ve been silent for too long
I may have forgotten how to speak
But if I stare at you for long enough
My mind just might spring a leak
‘cause words they seem so empty now
you cough them up and they fall right on the ground
you spend your time scribbling on the silence
just for the sake of making sound
just for the sake of making sound
:Chorus:
