Floating, floating like the breeze in Santa Fe
Got a ringing in my head
And a ghost who pushed me out of bed
Ii heard a girl call her lover on the phone,
She longed to flee to paris with her daughter far from home
“Tell me do i mean anything to you at all
Mark don’t laugh, you’re all i want
Just don’t leave me alone.”

I want to run 10,000 miles along the highway
Run away, turn away, fly away
We’ll blaze like angels through the night
Burn our souls in holy light
Run away, turn away, fly away.

The lipstick painted waitress
Counts the numbers in my head
She loves her baby’s daughter
Whose poem i just read
She shared her life with me;
Stories beautiful with misery
A grandma being mom
Cause her daughter had to leave
“It’s been three years since we’ve seen her
My life is no sad saga, sometimes i don’t even miss her.”

I want to run 10,000 miles along the highway
Run away, turn away, fly away
We’ll blaze like angels through the night
Burn our souls in holy light
Run away, turn away, fly away.

You’d see I’m beautiful if i could only shed this bitter skin
I’m living in the shadows on the outside looking in
I’d hold your crippled sorrow, rock it gently as i could
Let’s shake the walls down to the ground
And scream our pain like children -

The pretty brown-eyed girl
Likes to play with my guitar
She laughs and dances for me at her ballerina bar
She holds me close and says she doesn’t want to let me go
Her tiny head against me, I sing to her real low,
I can see all the beauty that’s inside you,
Don’t let them tell you all that you can’t do
Your dancing is so beautiful, you’re so beautiful -

I want to run 10,000 miles along the highway
Run away, turn away, fly away
We’ll blaze like angels through the night
Burn our souls in holy light
Run away, turn away, fly away.
