Counting Crows - Dislocation Lyrics

Dislocation

I was an alien in utero
Somehow missed New Mexico
Fell to earth in Baltimore, I know
Now they lay a case in empty rooms
Birthday cards and red balloons
And me, I know, I know, I know, I know

I invited Johnny Legs and Jackie O
Empty parties filled with people I don't know

I am rich and in the radio
I dream on my TV
Dislocation, dislocation
I'm fading out in stereo
I don't remember me
Dislocation, dislocation

Telling lies and taking shots
Getting laid in parking lots
Getting high and getting caught, I know
All my broken paper planes
Parachutes and windowpanes
I'm a shooting star gone Novocaine, I know

So I write to all the girly magazines
Splash my passion on the pages in between

Rising from the afterglow
A dodo bird with Polio
And me, I know, I know, I know, I know

I play with a rock'n'roll band on a subway
It keeps me far away from the gamma rays
We lit between the boom-boom-crash and the fade away
I know, ah, c-c-c-come on

Wake up the congregation
We will see the light tonight
The spark, the flash, the bang, the bite
I know, I know, I know
I don't know-know-know-know-know

I am rich and in the radio
I dream on my TV
Dislocation, dislocation
I could fade away in stereo
And you won't remember me
Dislocation, dislocation
If they dropped a bomb on London
Swallow LA with the sea
Dislocation, dislocation
I say a prayer for Oklahoma
I say another one for me
Dislocation, dislocation
