Words and Music by Josie Cotton

I wake up with the TV on
Fly away …see the new Hong Kong
Asian girls just slightly out of focus
I don’t notice that I notice

There’s a movie in my head
Projecting from my bed
Drowning out the splashing sounds of summer
When I lost the Seventh Wonder

He only knew the words
He never knew the song
A turn of phrase that turned out wrong
He only knew the words
He never knew the song…He never knew the song

I should go to the hardware store
Do the things that I did before
Seems like the things are always getting broken
And time keeps getting frozen

It was something that you said
And the way that you turned your head
You were like a drug. My heart was pounding
A poem by Charles Bukowski

You only knew the words
You never knew the song
A turn of phrase that turned out wrong
You only knew the words
You never knew the song…You never knew the song

I know there’s a world outside
People stand in grocery lines
As continents collide
And I’m just sitting at my vanity
And holding onto gravity

Tonight there’s a movie on
It’s a kung fu marathon
Fists will fly but good will always triumph
In the house of crying tigers

There are things that we’ll never know
And faces we must let go
People that I always will remember
Until the 12th of never… never

He only knew the words
He never knew the song
A turn of phrase that turned out wrong
He only knew the words
He never knew the song...
He never knew the song
And the melody you feel is the only thing that’s real

He only knew the words
He only knew the words
He only knew the words
I know there’s a world outside
People stand in grocery lines
As continents collide
He only knew the words
I know there’s a world outside
People stand in grocery lines
As continents collide
Fly away …see the new Hong Kong
Fly away …see the new Hong Kong

Fly awaaaaaay
See the new Hong Kong
