Thought I Knew Ya

When we met I was wide eyed city boy
 Singin' in te streets to feed my hope and joy
 We had mad lovin' and so fast was our flame
 When it went out you got so mad
 Talkin' trash about me
 Comin' round at me
 Making a tale of fool's gold my reputation
 Little Miss Sunshine's who I met that day
 When I walked out it felt like a hurricane
 Like I could see right through ya
 But the look in your eyes took me by surprise
 And I lost control
 Like I had a direct line to ya
 But I was wrong
 Then I caught a shooting star living photograph
 A Buddhist hipster from the purple skies of LA
 The ground would shake all understanding now
 As I was so smitten with her suede
 It went from screamin oh baby
 To see you later maybe
 I ain't laughin' now how the tables turn
 Her fine print swiftly stole away
 I'll see you in the next life baby namaste
 Thought I could see right through ya
 What a surprise to open your eyes
 And fine a hole in your soul
 I thought I knew ya
 Like I had a direct line
 To some power greater than myself
 So I walked down to the Someday Cafe
 To get my cup o' coffee for the day
 But they tore it down
 Put up a bank of the USA
 Where my paradise used to be
 I thought I knew ya
 Thought I knew myself to yeah
 The chink in the wall
 I scratched it only yesterday
 I thought I knew ya
 But my lines were rusted through yeah
 But to think is wrong but to sing is right
 So meet me at the tonight
 To see my reflection in the pond
 To wonder what's goin' on beyond
 What I'm tryin' to say just won't come out
 But I long to hear you
