Rockets! Lyrics

In cold apartment right next to my room
you'll just sit there quiet after i have warned you with a broom
there's a girl outside who's climbing to the roof
all my days are numbered she calls out and i believe that's true
cause there's a certain desperation on this floor
and in cursed solitude you try to imagine there's more
cause that's the quintessencial goal for everyone
in this sorry town that's drowing in its own aspirations

give me truth and give me real
give me something i can feel
and for the first time i'll be see'in
give me something to believe in
give me rockets, send me high
shoot me soaring through the sky
and unconscious, i'll be dreamin
about something to believe in tonight

on a road outside with streetlights burning deep
switch the lights on, turn the engine, drive the vehicle down east
in that cold and empty city where you sleep
i'll return there in the morning if i have to use my feet
and all the tickets that i garnered in pursuit
of a life, of a future, that has much to do with you
i'm not pleased, no, but again i'm not ashamed
all the smiling and the fingers seem to dull away the pain

give me truth and give me real
give me something i can feel
and for the first time i'll be see'in
give me something to believe in
give me rockets, send me high
shoot me soaring through the sky
and unconscious, i'll be dreamin'
about something i believed in tonight

i could go, but i could stay
and be deaf to what they say
it'd be personally fulfilling
someday soon, if heaven's willing
all those lines drawn in the sand
fall away right through your hands
like the boxes i get caged in
someday somebody'll break them

and give me truth, give me real
give me something i can feel
and for the first time i'd be seeing
seeing something to believe in
give me rockets, send me high
shoot me soaring through the sky
and unconcious, i'll be dreamin'
about something i'll believe in tonight
