Lyrics

Marie's out on the balcony, calling for a rescue today.
I left and hit the record store, found myself some new songs to play.
All the ghosts of tomorrow, they're coming out to meet me.
Say goodbye to yesterday, tomorrow's history is on the way.
You know we never fade.

With all this talk of leaving, I'm still stuck here feeling the same.
Everybody's listening, but no one hears the words that I say.
Lord I feel like a broken record, stuck here for a while.
Somebody needs to kick the table, get me spinning right...
Before I fade away.

Oh...sing it blackbird, sing me a song.
Oh...sing it strong till the sun comes up.
Oh...I guess I need to sleep it off tonight.
I guess I need to sleep it off.

The railway station's shutting down, the engines left the last line today.
And this place ain't a destination, it's just somewhere to lose your way.
This whole town is sleeping.
Marie's sitting by the phone.
And I'm out on the boulevard just trying to be alone.
I tryin' to fade away

Oh...sing it blackbird, sing me a song.
Oh...sing it strong till the sun comes up.
Oh...I guess I need to sleep it off tonight.
I guess I need to sleep it off.
