Exit 8
Small cafe
Georgia moonlight
It's three a.m.
I've been driving all night
Got a funny air
Red-brown hair
In the porch light
She said 'We're open all night
So won't you come inside
It's gonna be all right'
She said tired
I said I'm a little bit unstable
She said 'Honey, I will help you if I'm able
There's a bottle of relief upon the table
And we're open all night
So won't you come inside
It's gonna be all right'
She said 'I was born the year the rockets landed
Circa 1969 and I got stranded
Yeah, but the comet's getting close
And I can't stand it.'
She said 'We're open all night
So won't you come inside
Exit A
Small cafe
Smoke at three
Georgia moonlight
It's eight a.m.
I've been drinking all night
And there is nothing I will not do to make it all right
She said 'We're open all night
So won't you come inside
It's gonna be all right'
Shallow Days lyrics - Counting Crows
Mary Jane says it's all right
She's just around the corner from the main light.
Any day now, it's all right
She's standing on the precipice of big time.
And I know I'm a little uptight,
I've got to go before the sun shines.
We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life,
We need a little good time.
It's not far from the edge,
Mary comes and goes.
Drifting through the scenery of the shallow days below,
That is anybody knows.
You follow trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon.
Yeah well I saw Mary Jane dragged her shadow down the tracks, Stare off in the distance.
It's not far from here,
Mary waves hello.
Smiling though she's sinking in the shallow days below,
I can't find a way out of here.
Out on the road again,
I'm much, much too concerned about Mary Jane.
I'm all alone again,
I like what she said, not what it means.
She leaves me drowning through the shallow days, down below.
You know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall
The sun is sinking lower.
People staring, Mary Jane humming softly to herself,
Nobody really knows her.
Any day now it's all right,
She tells herself that this will be the last time.
Mary Jane pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all her free time.
Not too far from here,
Mary turns to go.
Smiling while the waltz begins, dancing down the road
Hey hey Mr. Freedom,
What are we supposed to think?
'Cause I'm a very tiny person and it worries me.
I'm all alone again,
I like what she says, not what it means.
She leaves me drowning in the shallow days way down below.
"I'm sorry", she said,
"I know it's not the kind of thing you want."
I'm falling, falling down.
"I'm sorry", she said.
"I know I'm not the kind of girl you want."
We're falling, falling, falling, falling down.
She's just around the corner from the main light.
Any day now, it's all right
She's standing on the precipice of big time.
And I know I'm a little uptight,
I've got to go before the sun shines.
We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life,
We need a little good time.
It's not far from the edge,
Mary comes and goes.
Drifting through the scenery of the shallow days below,
That is anybody knows.
You follow trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon.
Yeah well I saw Mary Jane dragged her shadow down the tracks, Stare off in the distance.
It's not far from here,
Mary waves hello.
Smiling though she's sinking in the shallow days below,
I can't find a way out of here.
Out on the road again,
I'm much, much too concerned about Mary Jane.
I'm all alone again,
I like what she said, not what it means.
She leaves me drowning through the shallow days, down below.
You know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall

People staring, Mary Jane humming softly to herself,

"I'm sorry", she said,
"I know it's not the kind of thing you want."
I'm falling, falling down.
"I'm sorry", she said.
"I know I'm not the kind of girl you want."
We're falling, falling, falling, falling down.
She Don't Want Nobody Near lyrics - Counting Crows
She don't want nobody near
But you can't get away from that
They appear and disappear
And they all get a string attached
Pretty soon they got you hanging on a line
Pretty soon they're singing one by one the same old rhyme
They say, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
She don't want nobody home
Cause it's a little too crowded then
But she don't wanna be alone
So they just keep pouring in
Pretty soon they have her headed for the door
She comes home to find that they're not hanging round no more
She says, "I'm alright, you just can't get home tonight"
Don't you wonder what she looks like in the light?
She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
Pretty whitewashed lies
Endless alibis
And reasons that need cleaning every night
Half a world away
You can't wash away the stain of the deceiving
And the things that you cannot believe, and well...
She don't want no one around
Cause she don't want anybody to see
What she looks like when she's down
Cause that's a really sad place to be
Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls
Then she wonders why they beg her please to never call
She says, "I'm OK. It's alright.Hey, look who's on TV
tonight"
She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
Don't you wonder why it's dark outside at night?
She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
But you can't get away from that
They appear and disappear
And they all get a string attached
Pretty soon they got you hanging on a line
Pretty soon they're singing one by one the same old rhyme
They say, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
She don't want nobody home
Cause it's a little too crowded then
But she don't wanna be alone
So they just keep pouring in
Pretty soon they have her headed for the door
She comes home to find that they're not hanging round no more
She says, "I'm alright, you just can't get home tonight"
Don't you wonder what she looks like in the light?
She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
Pretty whitewashed lies
Endless alibis
And reasons that need cleaning every night
Half a world away
You can't wash away the stain of the deceiving
And the things that you cannot believe, and well...
She don't want no one around
Cause she don't want anybody to see
What she looks like when she's down
Cause that's a really sad place to be
Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls
Then she wonders why they beg her please to never call
She says, "I'm OK. It's alright.Hey, look who's on TV
tonight"
She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
Don't you wonder why it's dark outside at night?
She says, "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
Suffocate lyrics - Counting Crows
Good morning baby, guess you wanna touch me now
You wanna put your hands on my face
Tell me you love me,
Tell me you need me
Don't say you love me
Don't say anything...
'Cause I am not that kind of man, I'm much less than you think I am...
So many people are just like Jesus,
They drag all this weight, to get to anything better than...
Where they've been
Or where they are
Well tell me what the hell's the reason when we never get
anywhere...
But you want me to say "Hey, it's okay..."
But I'm so dizzy baby, just get the hell away from me...
How can you breathe?
How can you see?
I can't even sleep when you're with me...
I'm sick of summertime
I know, all of the best things in life are unkind
To be everything I could be, anything
But all the time I'm thinking, "If I only had a pair of wings..."
But you want touch me
Just get your hands off me
Don't touch me
And baby, I can't see that you see
How can you see?
How can you breathe?
I can't feel a thing when you're with me...
I can't take it this way, I hope you understand,
Don't you fucking touch me
I can hardly stand to look at you
How can you breathe?
How can you see?
How can you breathe?
How can you see?
I can't even sleep when you're with me
How can you breathe?
How can you see?
I can't feel...
I can't feel a thing...
Can't feel a thing...
Can't feel a thing...
Can't feel a thing...
You wanna put your hands on my face
Tell me you love me,
Tell me you need me
Don't say you love me
Don't say anything...
'Cause I am not that kind of man, I'm much less than you think I am...
So many people are just like Jesus,
They drag all this weight, to get to anything better than...
Where they've been
Or where they are
Well tell me what the hell's the reason when we never get
anywhere...
But you want me to say "Hey, it's okay..."
But I'm so dizzy baby, just get the hell away from me...
How can you breathe?
How can you see?
I can't even sleep when you're with me...
I'm sick of summertime
I know, all of the best things in life are unkind
To be everything I could be, anything
But all the time I'm thinking, "If I only had a pair of wings..."
But you want touch me
Just get your hands off me
Don't touch me
And baby, I can't see that you see
How can you see?
How can you breathe?
I can't feel a thing when you're with me...
I can't take it this way, I hope you understand,
Don't you fucking touch me
I can hardly stand to look at you
How can you breathe?
How can you see?
How can you breathe?
How can you see?
I can't even sleep when you're with me
How can you breathe?
How can you see?
I can't feel...
I can't feel a thing...
Can't feel a thing...
Can't feel a thing...
Can't feel a thing...
The Greening Of America lyrics - Counting Crows
She's closing all the shades
she finds the daylight just a little frightening
she pulls the pedals overhead each day
but she's opening her business is blooming nightly
and every time it does it gets me hazy
the color of her head changing every day
a little breath of wind and I just go crazy
the greening of Americas progressing smoothly
cuz she's choosing me
it's later then I said
and all the worlds a shade of black and purple
everybody else has gone to bed
but when she makes me happy I just fly in circles
and every time she does I just get teary
the color of head changing everyday
a little puff of wind and she's always near me
the greening of America is progressing nicely
it's all right with me
ba ba ba ba na na na na na [Etc.]
if there's another life, and if get to chose I'd like
to be a daisy
I'll stay up waiting for my dusky wife
to open and get high with just my jasmine baby
and every time she does it gets me crazy
the color of her head changing every day
a little breath of wind and I just get crazy
the greening of Americas progressing nicely
it's all right with me-every time she
she does just get teary
the color of her head changing every day
a little breath of wind and she's always near me
the greening of Americas progressing smoothly
cuz she's choosing me
she finds the daylight just a little frightening
she pulls the pedals overhead each day
but she's opening her business is blooming nightly
and every time it does it gets me hazy
the color of her head changing every day
a little breath of wind and I just go crazy
the greening of Americas progressing smoothly
cuz she's choosing me
it's later then I said
and all the worlds a shade of black and purple
everybody else has gone to bed
but when she makes me happy I just fly in circles
and every time she does I just get teary
the color of head changing everyday
a little puff of wind and she's always near me
the greening of America is progressing nicely
it's all right with me
ba ba ba ba na na na na na [Etc.]
if there's another life, and if get to chose I'd like
to be a daisy
I'll stay up waiting for my dusky wife
to open and get high with just my jasmine baby
and every time she does it gets me crazy
the color of her head changing every day
a little breath of wind and I just get crazy
the greening of Americas progressing nicely
it's all right with me-every time she
she does just get teary
the color of her head changing every day
a little breath of wind and she's always near me
the greening of Americas progressing smoothly
cuz she's choosing me
Were Only Love lyrics - Counting Crows
Who built the ball that is this earth?
Gave me life, and water for my thirst.
Home for a heart till death from birth
And we're only love, at it's best or worst.
Love calling your name
I will live on
Calling your name
Who wrote the pages of our lives?
In black and white, and taught me wrong from right
It's your heart that held you tight
But we're only love
Spin me around and round and round
Love calling your name
I will live on
Calling your name
And the world seems like my enemy
The waterfall of frowns
And the wave of life will capture me
And I'm falling down upon love
C'mon now darling
I'm falling falling down on love
I'm falling down, falling down on love
I'm falling down on love
[Chorus]
Gave me life, and water for my thirst.
Home for a heart till death from birth
And we're only love, at it's best or worst.
Love calling your name
I will live on
Calling your name
Who wrote the pages of our lives?
In black and white, and taught me wrong from right
It's your heart that held you tight
But we're only love
Spin me around and round and round
Love calling your name
I will live on
Calling your name
And the world seems like my enemy
The waterfall of frowns
And the wave of life will capture me
And I'm falling down upon love
C'mon now darling
I'm falling falling down on love
I'm falling down, falling down on love
I'm falling down on love
[Chorus]
