20th Call of the Day
My whole life I was a ghost
My memory lost out in the lights
Speedin' someplace off the coast
Tears runnin' down my eyes
So fall into me if you must
But be forewarned
Look up, look up, look up to the sky
Past the freeway
Like I've got nothin' to say
Traffic is mumblin', the birds are still singing
Their twentieth call of the day
Their twentieth call of the day
Emptiness is an empty drawer
That used to smell just like your perfume
A stack of records lined up to play
But nothing plays
The stereo is just on
So fall into me if you must
But be forewarned
Look up, look up, look up to the sky
To the light
Through the trees where the shadows play
Traffic is mumblin', the church bells ring
Their twentieth call of the day
Their twentieth call of the day
I'd wait around here forever
Just to hear you say my name again
I will remember all the things you said
I will remember all the things we did
So fall into me if you must
But be forewarned
Look up, look up, look up to the sky
To the light
Through the trees where the shadows play
Traffic is mumblin', the birds are still singing
Their twentieth call of the day
Their twentieth call of the day
