Another pleasant day in the countryside Has ended up in tears on a stormy night 'Cause you can't follow my directions home But don't stop now God knows where the satellite's taking us We can't tell what is right in front of us But I hang on every word Don't stop now No, don't stop now Give me something I can write about You get fooled by the lightning every time See the after image of my outline Then you turn the wrong way round Don't stop now No, don't stop now Give me something I can write about Give me something I can cry about In a church house ten miles out of town Is the Devil gonna track me down' We will travel through a tunnel in the trees Just remember that's how you get to me There's no number on the house The birds are headed south Sometimes you have to turn the wrong way round Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now Restless, hopeful, in silence I wait With a blank piece of paper on the top of my head And all I want is something I can write about All I want is something I can cry about
