Joe Versus the Volcano

She said the waves affect your dreams
 I'm dreaming of a warm and golden light
 Unlike these tubes hanging over me
 That are buzzing angrily and flickering sickly white light
 You've sat slouched in that chair for years
 Like a struggling flower in a parking lot
 We disappear in our careers
 But every morning you would nudge my heart
 I'm sorry that I left you there, but you didn't have the view I had
 Life changing news can make things stark
 Exaggerate the difference between the light and dark
 You might see things you've never seen before
 The enormous dog, the tiny lady, or the round car
 I'm sorry that I left them there, but they didn't have the view I had
 I see your face everywhere I go
 Here, beneath the make-up of a chronic debutante
 Who thinks she can't make it on her own
 So she hangs her painting in her father's restaurant
 There's nothing wrong with that
 I'm sorry that I left her there, but she didn't have the view I had
 There is a current we can float on We'll get there
 I never knew just how big the world could get
 And if someday I forget, I'll think of this moment
 Cowboy, cowboy Cowboy Cowboy
 I've been swindled, I've been mislead,
 I've been fooled with unusual jargon
 But I resolve to hold up my end of the bargain
 Now I've got this brand-new life I never had before
 Still, it'll always be something with me
 But you're cool with that
 I'm grateful that you took me there
 Cause I didn't have the view you had
 I'm thankful that you took me there
 Cause I didn't have the view you had
 There is a current we can float on. We'll get there
 I never knew just how big the world could get
 And if someday I forget. I'll think of this moment
 Cowboy, cowboy. Cowboy Cowboy. Cowboy Cowboy
