Lyrics

The Pull

[Verse 1: Jason Scheff]

Summertime came too soon

Summers in Kansas often do

And the air was still

I felt the pull

[Verse 2: Bill Champlin]

I recall the heat rising

From the ground in waves

And I knew I was

The first to pass this way

[Chorus: All]

I believe I stepped

Across some line

Or I stumble through

The doorway to space and time

Like a drunk

Who blacks out from the wine

Never remembers his name

[Verse 3: Jason Scheff]

I always feel so alone

Wherever I am

I feel the pull

And the life I've left

Behind the pull

[Verse 4: Bill Champlin]

And in case I have no future

I've got the past

There's no telling just

How long this play will last

[Chorus: All]

I believe I stepped

Across some line

Or I stumble through

The doorway to space and time

Like a drunk

Who blacks out from the wine

Never remembers his name

Never remembers

[Bridge: Jason Scheff, Bill Champlin]

I'm down, walking through a storm

I hear a voice inside, crying

It calls my name like a judge accusing

Black robe hanging down

Oh, don't forget be brave about your love

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5: Jason Scheff with bandmates]

When I walk across

The monkey moon

Anger flashes in my eyes

I don't know what I'm doing

Like a drunk

Who blacks out from the wine

Never remembers his name

[Outro: All]

Like a drunk

Who blacks out from the wine

Never remembers his name

Never remembers his name

I never remember my name
