Lyrics
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me nowI made a break, a run out yesterday
I tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no goI know you’re watching me every minute of the day, yeah
I’ve seen the signs and the looks and the pictures
They give your game away, yeahThere’s a dream that strings the road
with broken glass for us to hold
and I got so far before I had to sayPlease, please tell me now
is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
that would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
’cause you don’t let it show, ohPeople stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums, they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind? Can you see in the snow?And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don’t say you’re easy on me
You’re about as easy as a nuclear warThere’s a dream that strings the road
with broken glass for us to hold
and I got so far before I had to sayPlease, please tell me now
is there something that I should know?
Is there something that I should say
that will make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
’cause you don’t let it show, oh
Quotes
JJL: Another song we tried out as a possible submission for the 200 Cigarettes soundtrack. For obvious reasons, this never got submitted to the label, since “Beautiful World” wasn’t deemed “commercial” enough. I’m not sure if we did this as a joke or not.CDR
Notes
- Incorrectly called “Please Please Tell Me Now” in the liner notes.
- The song fades out on a half-hearted rendition of the chorus to “Save It for Later.”
