(Mike on lead)
I started out a little tightly wound
Like a rocket shot up out of frozen ground
Dirt in my nails, a forest in my head
Seems like every message I got said
Burn it, Break it
She took me in like a broken bird
In a moonlit house in a single word
We built a cave, or was it a nest?
She did all the driving and all the rest, but
(All)
I'm not there at all
Though I shall recall
What she said to me
On her doorstep
(Mike)
She likes my dad, he knows Gordy Howe
He had such a temper, guess who's got it now
[The following two lines are in the song,
but do not appear in the liner notes]
Watch me explode as we misunderstand
Everything that's said on this fiber optic strand
(All)
I'm not here at all
Thoug I shall recall
What she said to me
On her doorstep
(All)
When I get back we'll dip our cup
Into the fountain of youth
We'll rest our heads and raise a toast
To the sunset's beautiful truth
(Mike)
I lit a fire by the tracks last night
Bounced it off the moon
Hoping you'd call soon
To this phonebook state
Where I've been stuck up late
Felt just like an a** when I broke that glass
(All)
I'm not there at all
But I will recall
What she said to me
On her doorstep
