Miracle Of Science

(marshall crenshaw)

It's almost dawn
And everything's wrong
I'm wide awake and angry all night long
Chained to my rockin' chair
Sometimes it's hard to bear, so hard to bear
The memory of the laughter that we used to share
I get lost on the streets
That we used to walk
Where we used to find each other in the dark
Can't find the places where we used to go
Cause they're nothing like they were before,
Like they were before
They're not echoing with laughter anymore
Once in awhile
I hear a voice in my head
I start thinking about some random thing that you said
How i hate to realize
That things are how they have to be,
How they have to be
I still can't believe what happened to you and me
You were a friend like no other
I'm afraid that i'm gonna find
That the memory of your laughter
Will never leave my mind
It's almost dawn
And everything's wrong
As one more restless night drags on and on
Chained to my rockin' chair
'till i don't know what to do,
Don't know what to do
With the memory of your laughter
And the ones we knew
It will never leave my mind
...everything's wrong
I'm wide awake and angry all night long
Chained to my rockin' chair
As lonely as i can be, as i can be
With the memory of your laugher for company
Lonely as i can be
Memories for company
Ooooh
Ooooh
The memory of the laughter that we used to share

I'm in with the "in" crowd
I go where the "in" crowd goes
I'm in with the "in" crowd
And i know what the "in" crowd knows
Any time of the year don't you hear (gotta have fun)
Dressin' fine makin' time
We breeze up and down the streets
We get respect from the people we meet
They make way day or night
They know the "in" crowd is outta sight!
I'm in with the "in" crowd
I know every latest dance
When you're in with the "in" crowd
It's easy to find romance
At a spot where the beat's really hot (there we'll go)
If it's square we ain't there
We make every minute count, yeah
Our share is always the biggest amount
Other guys imitate us
But the original's still the greatest
Got our own way of walkin' yeah
And our own way of talkin' yeah
Anytime of the year don't you hear (gotta have fun)
Spendin' cash and talkin' trash
Girl i'll show you a real good time yeah
Come on with me and leave your troubles behind
I don't care where you've been
You ain't been nowhere 'til you been in
With the "in" crowd oh yeah
With the "in" crowd
Got our own way of walkin'
And our own way of talkin' yeah
Walkin' with the "in" crowd
Talkin' 'bout the "in" crowd
Mmmmmmm
...and i go where the "in" crowd goes
Mmmmmmm
...and i know what the "in" crowd knows

Jenny gave us a number
Jenny gave us a place to stay
Billy got hold of a van
And then we moved the very next day
To twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun
Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun
We put down the money
Then we picked up the keys
We had to keep the stove on all night long so the mice wouldn't freeze
I put our names on the mailbox
And i put everything else in the past
It was the first place we'd ever had to ourselves
I didn't know it would be the last
Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun
Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun
Now everything is over
Everything is done
Everything's in boxes now
At twenty-five forty-one
Things are so much different now
You could say the situation's reversed
And it will not be the last time i'll have to be out by the first
Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun
Twenty-five forty-one, big windows to lay in the sun
Twenty-five forty-one...

The heat of the day begins to die
The faintest breeze comes drifting by
And you and i we watch the clouds roll by
All alone beneath the starless summer sky
Each night we talk about the day
When we run out of things to say
We sit and gaze into each other's eyes
So alone beneath the starless summer sky
Sometimes the best words are left unspoken
Sometimes the best words are left unsaid
Sometimes it's nobody else's business
Well together, tonight, you know that it's right
We sit and gaze into each other's eyes
And we kiss beneath the starless summer skies
Sometimes the best words are left unspoken
Sometimes the best words are left unsaid
Sometimes it's nobody else's business
Well together, tonight, you know that it's right
The heat of the day begins to die
The faintest breeze comes drifting by
And you and i we watch the clouds roll by
All alone beneath the starless summer sky
'neath the starless summer sky...

There and back again
Didn't know what i was walkin' into
But when the feeling hit, to follow it,
Was all that i could do
Now that i've thought it through
Here alone at the journey's end
I'd gladly go again, take it from one who's been
There and back again
She was wild and i was restless
And our love was true
We were young and time was endless
Everything was new
Driving fast and running breathless
(it) blew my heart away
When i first saw her face
On that long, long gone day
There and back again
Goin' where we didn't dare before
Too much wasn't enough of each other's love
Oh that's for sure
I was just waitin' around
Killing time with all my dead beat friends
That's what i did back then
That was before i'd been
There and back again
She said we should find a highway
Any one would do
And we did not, say goodbye to
Anyone we knew
Hotels and auto graveyards
Under the bright blue sky
On the move, all the time
The midday sun
Made us high
There and back again
Goin' where we didn't dare before
Too much wasn't enough of each other's love
Yeah that's for sure
I was just waitin' around
Killing time with all my dead beat friends
That's what i did back then
That was before i'd been
There and back again
It lasted 'till it ended
That's how it goes
Sometimes things are just over
Everybody knows
Time has made us into strangers
She's lost to me now
But now and then when lights are low
She comes to mind, and i go
There and back again
Didn't know what i was walkin' into
But when the feeling hit, to follow it,
Was all that i could do
Now that i've thought it through
Here alone at the journey's end
I'd gladly go again, take it from one who's been
There and back again
There and back again...

Who stole that train off the track?
Whoever took it better come and put it back
I heard that engine whistle blow
It should have been here long ago (now)
Who stole that train off the track?
My baby wrote and said that she
Was coming home on "93" but
Who stole that train off the track?
I been waitin' here since early dawn
The depot's closed, the agents gone
Who stole that train off the track?
(i said a) who stole that train off the track?
Who stole that train that was bringin' my girl back?
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
It should have been here long ago
Who stole that train off the track?
Well i looked above me in the sky
And saw the smoke a risin' high but
Who stole that train off the track?
That smoke was hangin' in the air
But there was no engine anywhere
(now) who stole that train off the track?
(i said a) who stole that train off the track?
Who stole that train that was bringin' my girl back
Someone's playin' a joke on me
They'd better bring my baby
Who stole that train off the track?
Well i looked and saw a cloud of steam
And plainly heard a whistle scream but
Who stole that train off the track?
And i looked again with all my might
But still no engine came in sight (now)
Who stole that train off the track?
(i said a) who stole that train off the track?
Whoever took it better come and put it back
I heard that engine whistle blow
It should have been here long ago (now)
Who stole that train off the track?
