Anything But Me

Somewhere in between
Seeing you at the station
Transcendental meditation
And lookin' at the stars

Got me wonderin'
What the hell am I doin'
Thinkin' of you
Instead of playin' my guitar

Yeah, I'm up on the mountain
Doin' me some cryin'
Underneath the Pleiades and the Orion
Seek ye the roller of celestial stones
A pack of cigarettes and a book of poems

I should've been a bird
A sparrow or an eagle
A crow or a seagull
Flyin' over the sea
I should've been a sailor
A cowboy or a jailer
Anything but me

I can't comprehend
The gun that I'm under
The roar of the thunder
In my room

I'm a pagan at the altar
Tryin' to get a notion
But it's like tryin' to fit an ocean
In a spoon

Yeah, I'm up on the mountain
Doin' me some cryin'
Underneath the Pleiades and the Orion
Seek ye the roller of celestial stones
A pack of cigarettes and a book of poems

I should've been a bird
A sparrow or an eagle
A crow or a seagull
Flyin' over the sea
I should've been a sailor
A cowboy or a jailer
Anything but me

Oh, anything
But me
Anything, whoa-oh
Oh, anything
But me

Yeah, I'm up on the mountain
Doin' me some cryin'
Underneath the Pleiades and the Orion
Seek ye the roller of celestial stones
A pack of cigarettes and a book of poems

I should've been a bird
A sparrow or an eagle
A crow or a seagull
Flyin' over the sea
I should've been a sailor
A cowboy or a jailer
Anything but me
