Letra de
Palisades Park

Somebody screamed and all of Jim Jeffries' dreams
Explode into a black fist, he falls to the floor
He stares up at the sky and he may wish he knew why
But you can't go back there no more
Future sounds so crazy
We've all heard that song before
Tomorrow's the name we change from yesterday to blame
When the train just don't stop here anymore
I got starry-eyed on the coaster ride
Andy says, "man I need a break from the world outside"
These days my life just careens through a pinball machine
I could do so much better but I can't get off the tilt
And there's a photograph on the TV
Black and white and Andy says something to you
Jack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like
She says, "I forget myself sometimes too"
Out past the doorways where we are sleeping
Well, the white queens creep
And the Tom cats peep
Now I'm not breaking,
The train's just shaking,
I never made it here before,
There's a white mouse spinning the girls around,
'Til they can't take it anymore
I used to dream in the dark
of Palisades park
Up over the cliffs and
down among the sparks
It's a long life
Full of long nights
But it was not what I was waiting for
Everybody's seen the horses diving down the shore
It's a miracle they don't make them anymore.
So make up ladies, wake up baby
You walked into the bar like some Saturday star
Stud-straight on spiked heels and needles and nerves,
You're a down town pride, fully amplified Clyde,
Gin-tight and aging but well-preserved,
Remember Andy outside your bedroom window,
Saying "come on, let's drive across to the Palisades"
Keep going 'til we hit Reno, Nevada
I don't see Andy all that much these days,
Still there are pages in back,
Of the action stacks
Where, the white queens creep
And the Tom cats peep and
Now the trains not braking,
The track's just shaking,
I never made it here before,
And there's a sky rocket turning the world around,
'Til I can't take it anymore
You can carry that spark
from Palisades park
Down over the cliffs and out into the dark
It's a long life
Full of long nights
But it was not what I was looking for
Everybody dreams of horses flying round the shore
It's a bad dream we're not having anymore
Man,
Have you seen Andy?
Hey man hey man!
Have you seen him around?
Hey man!
Have you seen my my my my my my my Andy?
Have you seen him? x 4 Hey!
Have you seen Andy around?
Dressed up in our pirate best
All leathers and feather and pearls
Andy said, "look at me man, I'm cooking these hands could
Finger up this whole world"
He said, "come outside
Climb out your bedroom window
Shimmy down the fire escape and say good-bye
Come outside"
Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like Edie
Changing all the time my leopard spots to polka dots and say good-bye
Come outside
Well maybe we could move to California
Just meet me at the subway and say good-bye
Come outside
The cops all think we're crazy
If you stay you'll just get married
To a girl who'll never know you and then say good-bye
Hey man, have you seen Andy?
I lost her in the sun
I was high as a kite on lovely and white
Man, you could lose anyone
Hey hey man, have you seen Andy?
I don't know where she's gone
But real love outlives teenage lust
We could get wet and it keeps us warm
Love is like angel dust
Lovely sometimes changes us
sometimes not
Have you bee aching to trust or just ?
Have you been waking yourself with lust ?
Have you been making us up or just taking us home?
It's a long wait
At a long light
Cars frozen in flight
All the traffic stops to stare
At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada
Wearing nothing but air
And a pair of grey paper wings
Andy thinks, "man, I have got nothing to wear"
We got nothing new and
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
