Lyrics: Lee Ranaldo
Music: Lee Ranaldo
Coming in from Colorado
Taking a late-night jet out of the snow
I need to see your face tomorrow
Just an hour or two before you go
Hanging around for days and nights
I'm coming around to see your point of view
I can see through all the glitter and bubbles
That's the reason now I'm coming home to you
I'm leaving town, so you better take hold
I'm stepping out from the river of old
Everybody's hustling for a place on the screen
But I'll hang around and I'll share your dreams
That's right
They say time always runs like a river
Tell me then, kindly, how come I ain't got no time?
Risks and illusions tell me to hold on
Hey, brother
Can you spare a dime?
I'm hanging around wherever you go
I'm headed down to the river of old
I'm tryin' to step out of this scene
I'd like to step into your dream
I know exactly what you mean
I know the secrets that you dream
Every street I walk alone
Every girl up on a throne
Every glad hand full of gold
Is trying to reach down into your soul
I know the secrets that you need
Hanging around with saints and sinners
Losers, winners, I try to pay no mind
I can see through all that shakes and quivers
Every loveless soul strung out on a line
There's a golden light in the sky tonight
Where ten thousand soldiers stand with feet of clay
Secrets to be told will keep for the night
And we will soon be on our way
I'm leaving town, so take a good hold
Carry me back to the rivers of old
It's a blood red curse that'll set you free
Standing in the snow, waiting on a dream
I know the secrets that you need
You know exactly what I mean
I know the secrets that you dream
You're upside down and painted green
I know the secrets that you need
I'm trying to climb out of this scene
