John Appleseed's Lament
Counting Crows

I stepped out the front door into winter and the world outside

I stepped out the door to New York City, my hair was barely dry

I could not remember where I was going, so I went back inside

Nothing happening in the elevator, nothing happening on the stairs

Nothing ever happening when I am sleeping, I cannot stay there

How'd you find a party when you're in your room

How'd you find the action man, the action is everywhere

I've been inside to climb outside your bedroom window, paint a picture on a cloud

Oh if you decide that you can't hide inside your mind

Provide the slide to get you out

Feels just like you're falling and you're going down

But everybody loves you when you hit the ground

I say a prayer, I say a prayer, I say a prayer to Pocahontas

I pray to John Appleseed

Oh I cigarette the winter air, then I felt to stand my way down seventh street

Some chick yells Jesus love me more than I know but less than I need

I parade down the valley to the battery and then I step off into the air

Point my sunglasses east towards Jerusalem and then follow all the Pharaohs there

They're building pyramids in last square

Driving in circles round the circus 'til the circles in the air

My love says come on Adam tell me what the hell is wrong with you

She says, come on Adam tell me, what the hell am I supposed to do?

She says, I could love you, I could leave you, I can't live what you put me through
