I’ll Never Get Home

Twenty-thousand is a perfect number
Fits together, you and me

I've been crawling on the carpet for four hours now
Burning holes in my knees for your hand
You're my red-faced girl
Dark hair, dark eyes
Dark feather, dark eyes
Who wishes she had darker skin

And I hope when it turns midnight
You won't leave me when the sunny lights are gone
Out for you
Cold in the room
At the window all alone
When your car starts for the forty-nine

I don't want to take your hand
(your hand)
I'll take your way of life away and then
Where the drums are
Where the drums are you won't
Be welcome

I missed the ship that took them back
All the way
Across the ocean
But your family came from here
But I didn't sail here to destroy you
I came all the way
Across the ocean
Just to hold you

Just to hold you
(Just to hold you)
I came all the way

The A.I.M won't support me
Because I don't look like them
To them
But I didn't sail here to destroy you
I came all the way
Across the ocean
Just to, Just to hold you

Just to hold you
(Just to hold you)
Just to hold you
I came all the way
