Fastball Album

Shortwave
Cold gray rainy Sunday
BBC world service
I found, I found the strangest music
But I lost the station

Shortwave
Pulls in Oklahoma

Sittin' here in your room
I've been listen' to the freeway and the moon
Shinin' through
Broken windows I've been waitin' for ya singin'

Louie louie louie lou-ee
When ya gonna come back home
Louie louie louie lou-ii
You know I hate to see you cry

Sittin' on the hood of your car
Starin' up at the sky, wishin' on a fallin' star
You come so far
I get no response, I just keep on waiting

Louie louie louie lou-ee
When ya gonna come back home
Louie louie louie lou-ii
You know I hate to be alone
Louie louie louie lou-ee
When ya gonna come back home
Louie louie louie lou-ii
You know I hate to be alone

Sittin' here in your room
I've been listen' to the freeway and the moon
Shinin' through
Broken windows I've been waitin' for ya

Louie louie louie lou-ee
When ya gonna come back home
Louie louie louie lou-ii
You know I hate to see you cry
Louie louie louie lou-ee
When ya gonna come back home
Louie louie louie lou-ii

Got nowhere to stay
Got nowhere to go
Got no one to blame for lettin' myself get so low
It's right on the tip of my tongue
What's the word I'm thinkin' of
It's right in the middle of good and bad
So how can it be love

My brain is too soft
My money's no good
I tend to get lost just walkin' in the neighborhood
It's right on the tip of my tongue
What's the word I'm thinkin' of

Sometimes I feel like I'm drifting away
And that's all I can say
It's nothing I can't control
But in matters of the heart and soul
I must admit that I just don't know

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I don't know what possessed me
To get together with a girl like you
You're right on the tip of my tongue
Are you the girl I'm thinkin' of
Right in the middle of hate and love
An iron fist in a velvet glove

Sometimes I feel like I'm drifting away
And that's all I can say
Gotta step back
And give each other room to grow
Listen to your heart
It'll tell you where to go
I must admit that I just don't know
Admit that I just don't know

Sometimes I feel like I'm drifting away
And that's all I can say
It's nothing I can't control
But in matters of the heart and soul

Sometimes I feel like I'm drifting away
And that's all I can say
Gotta step back
And give each other room to grow
Listen to your heart
It'll tell you where to go
I must admit that I just don't know
Admit that I just don't know
Admit that I just don't know

Airstream, big chrome airstream
Leave the world behind me
They won't find me in my airstream

Free, I don't wanna be stuck in the city
With the cars and people downtown
Waiting in a line
Wishing I was far away
Where no one knows my name

Ocean, big blue ocean
Rolling like a daydream
Down the highway in my airstream

Free, I don't wanna be stuck in the city
With the cars and people downtown
Waiting in a line
Wishing I was far away
Where no one knows my name
Or my address, it's a place I've never been
When it gets too familiar I'll be gone

Free, I don't wanna be stuck in the city
With the cars and people downtown
Waiting in a line
Wishing I was far away
Where no one knows my name
Or my address, it's a place I've never been
When it gets too familiar I'll be gone
When it gets too familiar I'll be gone

Too bad I don't get my own way
Want champagne, all they got is cabernet
And I'm wastin' all my time
I feel good but there's a tear in my eye
Rain fallin' from a cloudless sky

I get high, forget about it all
Red lights flashin' behind my cracked up rearview mirror
Thunder crashin' down and screamin' in my ear
I guess I drew a bad card somewhere down the line
And I never win my money all back
I'm only here for a limited time
Probably see me hangin' around by the railroad tracks
I get high

We used to have a house down by the shore
Every night we'd take a walk to the liquor store
And we'd get wasted all the time
I hit the city when I lost ya girl
Not so pretty it's a different world

I get high, forget about it all
Red lights flashin' behind my cracked up rearview mirror
Thunder crashin' down and screamin' in my ear
I guess I drew a bad card somewhere down the line
And I never win my money all back
I'm only here for a limited time
And then I got a bag to pack

I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down

Too bad I don't get my own way
Maybe you and me can try to get together some day
Because I'm wastin' all my time
I feel good but there's a tear in my eye
Rain fallin' from a cloudless sky

I get high, forget about it all
I get high, forget about it all

You oughtta see you
You're always bitchin' about something
People wanna be you
But they don't know ya like I do now

There's always something wrong in you're perfect world
Nobody's gonna solve your problems
It all comes down to you

Open your eyes, and see the good things that you've got now
Don't you realize that life is always sweet and sour

There's always something wrong in you're perfect world
Nobody's gonna solve your problems
It all comes down to you
I know you think there's a conspiracy to keep you down
It's all in your head
You gotta learn to tune it out
It's true
It's true
It's all up to you

You oughta see you
You're always bitchin' about something
No one's gonna free you
From the prison that you're buildin'

There's always something wrong in you're perfect world
Nobody's gonna solve your problems
It all comes down to you
I know you think there's a conspiracy to keep you down
It's all in your head
You gotta learn to shut it out
It's true
It's true
It's all up to you

Well I spent all my money at the record store
Bought a copy of "Revolver" and some Gang of Four
Singles going steady
Billie Holliday
They had it all on vinyl
And I was blown away

Then I walked around the corner to my favorite bar
I do a lot more walkin' since I wrecked my car
They all know my name here
I feel right at home
I just might spend the night here
Since I know you're not alone

And then they play that song I love
And I feel like I just can't loose
I feel like I should call you up
But I'll stay here all night
'Till I get it right

Well I wrote you a letter but I tore it up
Then I wrote another letter and I tore it up
Stare up at the ball game
On the TV screen
If you care to find me
You'll know where I'll be

And then they play that song I love
And I feel like I just can't loose
I feel like I should call you up
But I'll stay here all night
'Till I get it right

I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down

And then they play that song I love
And I feel like I just can't loose
I feel like I should call you up
But I'll stay here all night
'Till I get it right

And then they play that song I hate
And I feel like I just can't win
I'm breakin' down
The room begins to spin
I'll stay here all night

Rip out the trees and plant your flag
Now I know just where you stand
Nature means nothing to you
Something that you can't control
And we make ourselves miserable
Trying to fill the hole

It's sad that our misunderstanding
Has turned into a war
I don't know you anymore

How was I supposed to know
I was steppin' on your toes
The momentum builds to a fever pitch
Talkin' but I just can't hear
Watchin' our problems multiply
Wishin' they would disappear

It's sad that our misunderstanding
Has turned into a war
I don't know you anymore, anymore
And our love got lost in the translation
And when I see you out
You're a stranger to me now
You're a stranger to me now

I, I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could make you see
How much I care
How much you mean to me

That our misunderstanding
Has turned into a war
I don't know you anymore, anymore
And our love got lost in the translation
And when I see you out
You're a stranger to me now

Took a ride up to Reno
Diamond star halo
Lookin' around
Pushin' blues at the station
I feed the frustration that's kickin' around

But you don't even know what day it is
You don't even know my name yet
Baby take a look at yourself
Heaven sees what nobody else can see
You'll be free, Someday

Yeah it's alright
It's just a matter of time
'Till I find my feet
You've got your education
Know how to work you're persuasion
You ain't foolin' me

'Cause you don't even know what day it is
You don't even know my name yet
Baby take a look at yourself
Heaven sees what nobody else can see
You'll be free, Someday

You don't even know what day it is
You don't even know my name yet
Baby take a look at yourself
Heaven sees what nobody else can see
You'll be free

Oh Mexico
All the time
Dreamin' all about Acapulco
And a sweet thing on my mind
Mogadishu sunrise
Low above the sea
All of those lawyers in California
Won't bring her back to me
Back to me
Back to me

Oh Mercenary Girl
Of all the lowdown places in the world
To be stuck inside of a phone booth
Hangin' on the end of a line
While this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind

Oh Mary Mary
I think you're fine
'Cause you can mix a margarita
From a bottle of turpentine
Just between noon and midnight
That's when the battle rages on
Mama I just gotta make one more call
And I'll be here with you all night long
All night long
All night long

Oh Mercenary Girl
Of all the lowdown places in the world
To be livin' in another city
Comin' from another time
I know it's a cold cruel world
But you're eyes look soft and kind
And this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind
Oh Mercenary Girl
Oh Mercenary Girl
Oh Mercenary Girl

Long before I ever saw your face
I got to know you in a dream
But things aren't always what they seem
You learn along the way

I just can't stop myself from breaking down
It's just no good unless you come around
I turn into a monster
all my friends agree

So goodnight
I'm going to bed
I'm falling upstairs to meet you
I wake up with memories in my head
I'm someone else instead
Fallin' upstairs to you

You came to me from secret place
You're beautiful and strange to me
Just like an antique melody
Too sad for me to play

I hope you'll wait for me behind closed eyes
I know I'll search for you all through the night
'Till when the dawn breaks in and throws it's light
Around the room

Goodnight
I'm going to bed
I'm falling upstairs to meet you
I wake up with memories in my head
I'm somewhere else instead
Falling upstairs to you

I went walking through the red light
Through the dark night, in the winter
Pretty girls in the window
Pretty girls staring back at me
I went walking cross the St. Charles
To the Argyle downtown
Met my friends in the back there
You know we always have a really good time

And I feel so alive
And I feel so free
Always listening to our favorite songs
They play them all night long
They play them all night long

I woke up with a girly
Way too early. Oh my head!
I went walkin' to the newsstand
All the suits staring back at me

I went walking down Main Street
Down to South Beach, Oh I crawled
I went looking for the bee sting

And I feel so alive
And I feel so free
Always listening to our favorite songs
They play them all night long
They play them all night long

At the end of the world
At the end of the world
Will I see you again
At the end of the world
Take me home

written by: Miles Zuniga

Late at night
There you are
Coffee lipstick
Casual Jones
All the way
To Memphis and back
I search for you baby
I search for you girl
Get the feelin'
When you're with me
You don't care
Your so addictive
The way you kiss
The way you kiss yeah
It's high low, I'm still reelin'
You're a heart break, but I don't mind
High low, I'll get to ya babe
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's all right
I lean on your door
I wait for you Sunday
You never come home
I get the feelin'
When I'm with ya
You don't care
It's so addictive
The way you kiss me, yeah
It's high low, here come the mornin'
Like an angel, save me from the night
Your loves a cold barb wire
But I'll be alright
I'm gonna be alright
High low, I'm still reelin'
You're a heartbreaker, I don't mind
High low, I'll get to ya babe
It's just a matter of time
High low, here come the mornin'
Like an angel, save me from the night
Your love cold barb wire
Baby I don't mind
Oh no, it's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
