Pere Ubu Flames Over Nebraska Lyrics

know a radio is playin somewhere.
I know cuz it must be so.
Or I'm thinkin too loud,
maybe drivin too hard?
It's a darkness that's drowning me.
I know what I know.
A teardrop is on the door,
and flies on the window -
Desk clerk is hopin I might disappear.
A voice in the room says, Nebraska is oh so near.

Neon abounds and it shows on my eye.
In the dark I hope it looks like flames.
Somebody says I have a flair with the truth.
That thought will comfort me.
I know what I know.
A teardrop is on the door,
and flies on the window -
Desk clerk is hopin I might disappear. A voice in the room says, Nebraska is oh so here.

Out on the night I can feel the darkness as it folds in
round me.
I feel the eyes of a thousand spies.
That thought sure does comfort me.
I know what I know.
A teardrop is on the door,
and flies on the window -
Desk clerk is hopin I might disappear.
A voice in the room said, Nebraska is oh so near.
I know what I know.
A teardrop is on the door,
and flies on the window -
Desk clerk is hopin I might disappear.
A voice in the room says, Nebraska is oh so here.
