The world is gone and changed on me
Destroyed my whole philosophy
My faith was strong, it never shook
One levee break was all it took
Let me float away
Into a sunset fading on a silver screen
Can you show the way?
Georgie sold us out today
For a pair of sneakers and a full week's pay
The landlord wants me out of town
Else he gonna put you in the ground
Can we run away
To a blue sky hanging on the scenery?
Can you show the way?
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Wake up me from this dream, show me what it means
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
If I could pick two guys to have on my side
It would be a Jimmy Dean and Mr. Steve McQueen
The world is getting awful strange
People get their faces rearranged
High cheekbones and a plastic nose
But I liked Mike when he was 10 years old
Can we take it back
To the time inside our parents' photographs?
Can you bring us back?
Save me Billie Jean, save me Steve McQueen
Wake up me from this dream, show me what it means
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
If I could pick two guys to have on my side
It would be a Jimmy Dean and Mr. Steve McQueen
Just tell me yes or no, how does this story go?
Whether we take it fast or we take it slow
I hate to ask but there's one thing I've got to know
The world is gone and changed on me
The way things were is history
If 1 and 2 came crumbling down
We act as if they're still around
Can we move ahead
And forget about the images inside our heads?
Can we wake the dead?
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Wake up me from this dream, show me what it means
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
If I could pick two guys to have on my side
It would be a Jimmy Dean and Mr. Steve McQueen
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Wake up me from this dream, show me what it means
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
If I could pick two guys to have on my side
Four runs down in the bottom of the ninth
If I could pick two guys to have on my side
Five runs down, six runs down, seven runs down
Eight runs down, nine runs down, ten runs down
I dunno how we're gonna turn this game around
