I Live In A Suitcase

(album: Astronauts & Heretics - 1992)

When all the lights go down
This dirty desert town
Is theatre in the round
With stars instead of a crowd

I came here the hard way
And now I'm living in a suitcase
And I came here the hard way
And now I'm living in a suitcase

In a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
Marked Rome
Marked Los Angeles
So I made, I made a home
Here inside of me
Here inside me

When all that's to be said's been said
What's keeping you in bed
Is the fear inside your head
The fear of being misled

You came here the hard way
And now you're living in a suitcase
And I came here the hard way
And now I'm living in a suitcase

In a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
But oh, little ingenue
I need, I need to know you will be here too
Then I'll make my home here inside of you
And not in a suitcase
And not in a suitcase

They say travel broadens the mind
So I went over the falls in a barrel
I found the North Pole
In a field of ice
And in the land of dreams
I found you...

I live in a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
Don't want to live in a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
Don't want to live in a suitcase
I live in a suitcase
I'm living in a suitcase
