This song just keeps drawing me in....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKZa0RjwqMY
The Wallflowers - 6th Avenue Heartache

Sirens ring, the shots ring out
A stranger cries, screams out loud
I had my world strapped against my back
I held my hands, never knew how to act
Chorus:
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

Below me was a homeless man
I'm singin' songs I knew complete
On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
It's fifty years, stood where he stands

Now walkin' home on those streets
The river winds move my feet
Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
They stood by me, just like moonbeams

Look out the window, down upon that street
And gone like a midnight was that man
But I see his six strings laid against that wall
And all his things, they all look so small
I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
Just like me-just moved on

The tornado siren is obnoxiously loud...we'll go camp out in the stairwell if need be. Thanks for the heads up!

2. Great song
Not a huge Wallflowers fan, but that is their best.

7. so weird, two nights ago I was watching youtubes of
people doing acoustic covers of this one, trying to learn it. I love this one. Bobby's kid singing "The same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me"-haunting.
