It rained today,
the clouds rolled up at dawn

All hell burst wide open

andjust like that was gone
Some ninja on a dirt bike
nearly ran him down for good
Right about now it gets quiet around

here what with nightfall in the wings
Right about now it gets quiet around

here what with nightfall in the wings
here what with nightfall in the wings
The wind grows chill

and then lies still
Forty miles from nowhere
At the bottom ofthe world
a diamond-studded dome

A hundred billion points oflight

to guide my way back home
A hundred billion points oflight

to guide my way back home
When the moon is hanging fat and full
and all thosejangly stars recede
A fold out couch on a midnight porch

is where my footsteps lead
and all thosejangly stars recede

A fold out couch on a midnight porch

is where my footsteps lead
A fold out couch on a midnight porch

is where my footsteps lead
You always said

I made my bed
Forty miles from nowhere
At the bottom ofthe world
Friends don't call like they used to
for reasons not unkind
lfthere's anything that we can do

rings hollow down a telephone line
house maybe halfway down the hill

A place to go andjust lay low

when there's precious time to fill
A place to go andjust lay low

when there's precious time to fill
is the last thing

on my mind
I weep for you

It's whatl do
Forty miles from nowhere
At the bottom ofthe world
