I once lay face down in the river
To hold my breath and count the shivers
I was the only young man crying in the water
And in the morning ma was yelling at my father
But these days it seems the world’s talking about me
Though they’re dancing without me, but they say that I’m doing well
They say I turned some ship around and it’s not that I wish I drowned
It’s just that since I reached the sand I don’t know who I am
Oh no.
It’s like would you recognize Morrissey smiling
With the sun crawling up and hanging from his shoulder?
Yeah would you recognize Morrissey smiling
Like I betrayed a broken heart, for a quiet daze.
Since I left my home all the past feels like I’m dreaming
I dreamt I was a man whose soul was worth redeeming.
And I miss my family’s sad and graceful weeping willow tree
And the mourning dove, my first true love, who cried its lonely tears for me.
But I recalled one decent man who said he’d been just where I am
And so I asked this battered friend just what is wrong with me
He spoke into my ear; he said you have nothing to fear
Except having nothing to fear, and that’s your gypsy curse.
Oh yes.
It’s like would you recognize Morrissey smiling
With the sun crawling up and hanging from his shoulder?
Yeah would you recognize Morrissey smiling
Like I betrayed a broken heart, for a quiet daze.
Track Name: Pilot
Pilot's driving underneath his eyelids
Momma's taking him home
Did you push him further than you maybe shoulda
Can't you leave a good thing alone?
Sit back tight
Rest your mind
Mother takes you by surprise
She's being cool
Oh sit back tight
Rest your eyes as
Mother takes you by her side
She's feeling cool
Home can help to save your mind
But soon enough there comes a time
When too much help can kill itself
You gotta find something to find
Something to believe in
I know you gotta find a place to
Go to go to go to go to go
Pilots preach about to keep them smiling
Papa's slowing down fast
If you pushed on could you ever see the finish
Who's afraid of leading last?
Oh sit back tight
Rest your mind
Ellis takes you through the night
She's feeling cool
Oh sit back tight
Rest your eyes
And know you'll never realize
She's being cool
Hope can help to pass the time
But soon the cuts run deep enough
The poor man's leg can't lift itself
You gotta find something to feed
Something to kill the heat
A song can't change his mind
But Pilot comes to
Comes to come to come to come
