Not tonight, not tonight
Honey I, am on fire
I can't feel a single thing but the weight of the wires

Crackin' electric light
When baby, we were a stone
And we would sleep where we're fallin'

But the weather vane, baby, it's been spinning around
And the earth shot the moon, last night at the uptown
The whole thing blew up, when the lightning came in
Saw the shock in the face of the children

I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Cleveland rain
Thinking about what an old man said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Cleveland rain
Thinking about what my momma once said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance

No not tonight, not tonight
Honey I, am on fire
If we don't come through, they're gonna bury us alive
In this great abyss
Of just what might have been
So we can take a seat at the bar with the other broken heroes

When the summer is done, they shut the carnival down
And the ferris wheel waits for the winter to bow
Take a backseat with the fall and the spring
With all the other interruptions of summer

I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Cleveland rain
Thinking about what an old man said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Cleveland rain
Thinking about what my mother once said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance

I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Jersey rain
Thinking about what Wagin' Matty said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance

I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Cleveland rain
Thinking about what an old man said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
I've never felt so strange
Standing in the Cleveland rain
Thinking about what my mother once said
Maybe I should call me an ambulance
