Miles From Nowhere ( album , "Even Serpents Shine" , 1979 )
You find it tempting to give up the ghost You always sell to the one who bids the most You get paid for your loyalty Waiting for someone to come along and set you free Can't you hear me?
I want to die in the same place I was born Miles from nowhere I used to reach for the stars but now I've reformed She's out there somewhere If you ever start thinking what you're doing to me Maybe you will set me free From this sorrow From this sorrow From this sorrow
All the defendants have been condemned When you were sentenced it covered all of them Give me justice you scream and scream I ain't done nothing, it's all a crazy dream Can't you hear me?
I want to die in the same place I was born Miles from nowhere I used to reach for the stars but now I've reformed She's out there somewhere If you ever start thinking what you're doing to me Maybe you will set me free From this sorrow From this sorrow From this sorrow
I have no visions of love restrained My only prisons are savage and deranged Looking for passion devoid of guilt Your cold reaction transcends the myth you built Can't you hear me?
I want to die in the same place I was born Miles from nowhere I used to reach for the stars but now I've reformed She's out there somewhere If you ever start thinking what you're doing to me Maybe you will set me free From this sorrow From this sorrow From this sorrow
