You should hear me play the piano.’” 5. I’m so tall, I’m so tall You raised me and then you let me fall 6. We serve an old moan in a dry season/A lighthouse keeper in the desert run/Dreamers of sleepers and white treason/We dream of rain and the hist’ry of the gun/There’s a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia/A white house in a red square/I’m living in films for the sake of Russia/A keno runner for the DDR/And the 52 daughters of the revolution/Turn the gold to chrome/Gift…Nothing to lose/Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home 7. I left alone, my mind was blank I needed time to think, to get these memories from my mind What did I see? Can I believe? That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy 8. “I love you kids with your crazy rock and roll. Like that Eddie Van Heflin.” “Van Halen” “Whatever” 9.
