Lyrics John Appleseed's Lament - Counting Crows
I
snook
out
the
front
door
into
winter
and
the
world
outside
I
stepped
out
the
door
to
New
York
City,
my
hair
was
barely
dry
I
could
not
remember
where
I
was
going,
so
I
went
back
inside
Nothin'
happened
in
the
elevator,
nothing
happening
on
the
stairs
Nothing
ever
happenin'
when
I
am
sleeping
and
I
cannot
stay
there
How'd
you
find
a
party
when
you're
in
your
room?
How'd
you
find
the
action
man?
The
action
is
everywhere!
And
decide
to
climb
outside
your
bedroom
window,
paint
a
picture
on
a
clock
Oh
if
you
decide
that
you
can't
hide
inside
your
mind
Provide
the
slide
to
get
you
out
Feels
just
like
you're
fallin'
and
you're
goin'
down
And
everybody
luvs
ya
when
you
hit
the
ground
I
say
a
prayer,
I
say
a
prayer,
I
say
a
prayer
to
Pocahontas
I
pray
to
John
Appleseed
Oh,
I
cigarette
the
winter
air,
then
I
finna
stare
my
way
down
7th
street
Some
chick
yells
Jesus
luvs
me
more
than
I
know
but
less
than
I
need
I
play
down
the
valley
to
the?
and
then
I
step
off
into
the
air
Point
my
sunglasses
east
towards
Jerusalem
and
then
follow
all
the
pharoahs
there
They're
buildin'
pyramids
in
the
Western
Square
Drivin'
in
circles
'round
the
circus
til
the
circles
in
the
air
My
luv
says
come
on
Adam
tell
me
what
the
hell
is
wrong
with
you
She
says,
come
on,
Adam
tell
me,
what
the
hell
am
I
supposed
to
do!
She
says
I
could
luv
you,
I
could
leave
you
But
I
can't
live
what
you
put
me
through
I
call
the
winter
Maria
cuz
I
do
not
know
her
face
I
call
the
endless
sky
Emilia
cuz
she
stays
with
me
from
place
to
place
I
call
the
sun
my
luv
Emanuel,
she
cradle
me
in
her
embrace
I
left,
nothin'
happening
in
the
kitchen,
nothing
happening
on
the
floor
Nothin'
happenin'
in
my
bed,
she
don't
sleep
there
no
more
Hard
to
find
the
bottom
when
you're
in
the
air
Hey
man,
how'd
you
find
the
circus,
we
have
the
circus
is
everywhere?
