Familiar Video (MV)

In a hotel room south of Market one night
I saw Jack Kerouc on a Bennie high
Speed typing Subterraneans and Mexico City Blues
I sailed through a reefer dream along with his haikus

And it was oh familiar, so familiar to me
Oh, I could see the soul in his eyes when he said
"I'll come down from my cross just long enough
To have a drink of wine
With a lone traveler on the Midnight Ghost
Whose soul's half as lost as mine"

I choose the sword again
You tear through me with your pen
I stare at the door and then wonder if I can escape it
Watch a movie I saw before
Reread your books once more
Spend hours staring at the floor
I know what you're going to say before you say it

'Cause it's so familiar, so familiar to me
Oh, I could see the soul in his eyes when he said
"I'll come down from my cross just long enough
To have a drink of wine
With a lone traveler on the Midnight Ghost
Whose soul's half as lost as mine"

The freight yard fills the air
A perfect road to nowhere
I stowaway and there is someone I know still waiting
Is she gone to me, buried in the sea
I stand in the middle of silence while it rages on around me and its

So familiar, so familiar to me
Oh, I can see the soul in her eyes when she says
"I'll come down from my cross just long enough
To have a drink of wine
With a lone traveler on the Midnight Ghost
Whose soul's half as lost as mine"

Yeah, I'll come down from my cross just long enough
To have a drink of wine
With a lone traveler on the Midnight Ghost
Whose soul's half as lost as mine
Whose soul's half as lost as mine
Whose soul's half as lost as mine
