Anna Knows 02:40
Anna knows when I go to bed. Wakes me up with her phone and says that I should be out with a brush and some red, cause she don't wanna go out alone. Anna don't wanna go out alone. Every morning 'fore the sun gets up, I feel the fear of being cast (and stuck) in a Grand Universe on the back of the bus without a face in the crowd that I know. And I don't wanna go out alone. Oh, stars at night, sticking through me like knives. Keep me home and far away from the unknown. "Revolver" days, "Rubber" nights in catacombs. Cataloguing all the fears that I have known. My stomach turns upon the dimming tide. The colors bend around the satellites. Alarm bells. Electric shock. The feathers fly. And I know that I go out alone. And I know that I go out alone. Anna don't want to go out alone.

Every night a single dream re-runs itself on my screen. Repeating its only scene: The Stranger. And he walks down the hall. I study as each foot falls. Never falters, alters, or stalls. The Stranger. Could it be me? I don't know, I don't know. Could it be you? Maybe so, I don't know. But every night a single dream re-runs itself on my screen repeating its lonely theme. Just a stranger. And he walks down the hall that's both infinite and small. Never gets anywhere at all, the Stranger. Could it be me? I don't know, I don't know. Could it be you? Maybe so, I don't know. What does it mean? I don't know, I don't know. Does it mean anything? I don't know, I don't know. But every night a single dream re-runs itself on my screen repeating its lonely theme: The Stranger.
