In The Forest

(album: Even If And Especially When - 1987)

(Seriously folks, I just rolled into town boys)

Ah, come on now
Won't you tell me how you feel
Black and white explaining
That my eyes are all but sealed
Sentimental memories call you back to your lives
But a vaguely clouded window pane
Distorts my views to the night
Come on baby
Do like a cat on the prowl

Got to go where my thoughts would take me
Got a lot of miles to take me
Got to go where my thoughts would take me
Want to live in the forest baby, yeah

Now I don't want to hear it
If you're telling me your lies
I want to leave the city and the million staring eyes
All the leaves surrounded by the massive green
I got a pain inside my heart now can't you see
Baby, like a cat, say "meow"

Alright now...
Got to go where my thoughts would take me
Got a lot of miles to take me
Got to go where my thoughts would take me
Want to live in the forest baby, yeah
Not a lot of miles to take me
Out here in the forest baby, yeah

Hey, come on out into my forest
Out here, they're going to all ignore us
In the middle of a brand new day
I want to love you mama, yeah
As many times as I can
I want to see this town explode without a sound
'Cause no-one else would come around, yeah

Got to go where my thoughts would take me
Got a lot of miles to take me
Got to go where my thoughts would take me
Want to live in the forest baby
Got a lot of miles to take me
Out here in the forest baby

Oh, out in the forest it's just white and black
They can't call me or turn me back
This animal's wild and he roams where he wants
Don't care about the people
'Cause I can't here them talk
Out here in the forest, out in the forest, yeah
