Thoughts From A Driveway lyrics

Another day is gone
And I can't find a shooting star
Is this a message
Or an acid test of faith?
I've prayed a thousand times
But I can't hear a sole reply
This "waiting patiently"
Is more than I can take

She was afraid of mine
Awaiting some angelic vision
She lost a lifetime
Searching for a sign

[chorus]
Don't you know that
We are listening for whispers

If I were just a fly onthe table by your apple pie
Would you ask me to try and explain how aeronautics
made me fly?
If I were just a mouse in the attic of your lovely house
Would you ask my surmise on how architects designed this place I hide?

[chorus]
'Cause there's nothing more that I can say
To make you see the world this way
So much more than we can comprehend

She loved the flowers in her room
They helped ease the pain deep inside her
And even though she could not move
Her presence lit the universe
Sometimes she had dreams
She was soaring over golden streets
But what did they mean?
I asked her and she smiled as she said

[chorus]
"I know heaven waits for me
So don't shed a tear
We'll live eternally,
I'll be waiting for you there"

I'm swimming like a fish on the ocean
I'm singing like a pipe organ
I'm living liek a man with a notion
I'm thinking that I know so much
I've been walking through space
Though time to you
And I can move mountains in my view
I am going to places you can't find
And I will see you again

[chorus]
And this is
What you'll call your life
And this is
What it must be like
And this is

I'm sick and tired of lyin' here and thinkin'
With informercials sinkin' in
And I can't find my remore
I won't accept the terms of this surrender
'Cause there is something bigger
And I feel it here today
I can't just stand around and wait for somethin'
'Cause I know there is nothing here that I know I can believe
There's a lady on the television telling me

I don't know if I should mention this
But I guess I will just accept the risk
Please forgive me for my candidness
But you're the one who went and started it
Singin' like an Alice Cooper wanna be
A gimmick to distract lack of ability
I realize Mr. Rexnor can't do everything
But don't you want an ounce of real integrity?

[chorus]
I don't really care if this is offending you
