Counting Crows - John Appleseed's Lament Lyrics
(Verse)I snook out the front door into winter and the world outsideI stepped out the door to New York City, my hair was barely dryI could not remember where I was going, so I went back insideNothin' happened in the elevator, nothing happening on the stairsNothing ever happenin' when I am sleeping and I cannot stay thereHow'd you find a party when you're in your room?How'd you find the action man? The action is everywhere!And decide to climb outside your bedroom window, paint a picture on a clockOh if you decide that you can't hide inside your mindProvide the slide to get you outFeels just like you're fallin' and you're goin' downAnd everybody luvs ya when you hit the groundI say a prayer, I say a prayer, I say a prayer to PocahontasI pray to John AppleseedOh, I cigarette the winter air, then I finna stare my way down 7th streetSome chick yells Jesus luvs me more than I know but less than I needI play down the valley to the? and then I step off into the airPoint my sunglasses east towards Jerusalem and then follow all the pharoahs thereThey're buildin' pyramids in the Western SquareDrivin' in circles 'round the circus til the circles in the airMy luv says come on Adam tell me what the hell is wrong with youShe says, come on, Adam tell me, what the hell am I supposed to do!She says I could luv you, I could leave youBut I can't live what you put me throughI call the winter Maria cuz I do not know her faceI call the endless sky Emilia cuz she stays with me from place to placeI call the sun my luv Emanuel, she cradle me in her embraceI left, nothin' happening in the kitchen, nothing happening on the floorNothin' happenin' in my bed, she don't sleep there no moreHard to find the bottom when you're in the airHey man, how'd you find the circus, we have the circus is everywhere?
