Lyrics:
i wake up with the tv on
fly away see the new hong kong
asian girls just slightly out of focus
i don't notice that i notice
there's a movie in my head
projecting from my bed
drowning out the splashing sounds of summer
when i lost the 7th wonder
chorus:
he only knew the words
he never knew the song
a turn of phrase
that turned out wrong
he only knew the words
he never knew the song
he never knew the song
i should go to the hardware store
do the things that i did before
seems like things are always getting broken
and time keeps getting frozen
it was something that you said
and the way that you turned your head
you were like a drug
my heart was pounding
a poem by charles bukowski
bridge:
i know theres a world outside
people stand in grocery lines
while continents collide
and im just sitting at my vanity
and holding on to gravity
tonight there's a movie on
its a kung fu marathon
fists will fly but good will always triumph
in the house of crying tigers
there are things that we'll never know
and faces we must let go
people that i always will remember
until the 12th of never...never
and the melody you feel is the only thing that's real
he only knew the words... he only knew the words
fly away... see the new hong kong
fly awaaaaaaaay
see the new hong kong
