Anywhere But Here

Step into the light With my hands on my head Walk toward the sound of your voice Or I'm dead Turned out my pockets Dropped to my knees Crossed all my fingers And waited for You to come Sodium Street lamps in rows stretching over The avenues The evening news Rolling their stingers I'm praying for Anywhere Anywhere But here Don't know how it happened Don't know what I'd done Don't know how I came to be Holding the gun I asked you for something That I threw in a field Climbed in my Chrysler And drove it to Kingdom come Sodium Street lamps in rows stretching over The avenues The evening news Rolling their stingers I'm praying for Anywhere Anywhere But here And when the tires hit the bridge Time began to slow All the sirens you could give All your ducks were in a row In the kitchen, I'm at home Doing the dishes and praying For you to come Sodium Street lamps in rows stretching over The avenues The aerial view Rolling your picture I'm praying for Anywhere Anywhere Anywhere Anywhere Anywhere Anywhere But here
