In cold apartment right next to my room You'll just sit there quiet after I Have warned you with a broom There's a girl outside who's climbing to the roof All my days are numbered she calls out and I believe that's true There's a certain desperation on this floor And in cursed solitude you try to imagine There's more It's the quintessencial goal for everyone In this sorry town That's drowing in its own aspirations Give me truth and give me real Give me Something I can feel And for the first time I'll be see'in Give me Something to believe in Give me rockets! send me high Shoot me soaring Through the sky And unconscious, I'll be dreamin About something to believe In tonight On a road outside with streetlights burning deep Switch the Lights on, turn the engine, drive the vehicle down east In this cold and empty City where you sleep; I'll return there in the morning if I have to use my feet... And all the tickets that I garnered in pursuit Of a life, of a Future, that has much to do with you I'm not pleased, no, but again I'm not ashamed All the smiling and the fingers tend to dull away the pain Give me Truth and give me real Give me something I can feel And for the first time I'll be see'in Give me something to believe in Give me rockets! send me high Shoot me soaring through the sky And unconscious, I'll be dreamin' About something I believed in tonight Now I could go, but I could stay And be deaf to what they say It'd be personally fulfilling someday Soon, if heaven's willing All those lines drawn in the sand Fall away right Through your hands Like the boxes I get caged in Someday somebody'll break them And give me truth, give me real Give me something I can feel And for the first time I'd be seeing Seeing something to believe in Give me rockets! Send me high Shoot me soaring through the sky And then unconcious, I'll be dreamin' About something I'll believe in tonight.
