black derby jacket lyrics

Books on emerson books on thoreau What do you do to know who you are? And I was three thousand miles away from you But all I read was maps of the road All the while I was twenty-two You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school The best way for me to drop out on tour To secure the roll with your parents I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through I never needed much, I never liked to loom I know you better than you know you 'Cause I got a new perspective on you But a gesture can get me from across the room You left in a plane, I left in a van The first night we talked until while the sun caught up Transparent people melting all around us Played nightclub house-parties and auditoriums I know you better than your new friends Saw Germany England Italy with my band I got a new perspective on you I know you better than you know you All the good and bad that we went through 'Cause I got a new perspective on you Driving 10 hours until my eyes are blurry Ford Econdlane September '93 3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds Tapes of "x" and a thermos of coffee 6 weeks on and 10 days off Then I go back on the road for another show This is all that I've ever done Girl I got nothing to fall back on "But I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through I know you better than you know you 'Cause I got a new perspective on you"
