Another pleasant day in the countryside Has ended up in tears on a stormy night 'Cause you can't follow my directions home
God knows where the satellite's taking us I can't tell what's right in front of us You give me something I can write about
You get fooled by the lightning every time See the after-image of my outline And you turn the wrong way 'round You give me something I can write about You give me something I can cry about
In a church house ten miles out of town Is the devil gonna track me down? And travel through a tunnel in the trees Just remember that's how you get to me
There's no number on the house The birds are heading south Sometimes you have to turn Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now
This is helpful in the silence I wait with a blank piece of paper on the top of my head And all I want is something I can write about All I want is something I can cry about
