Turnstile Blues Lyrics
My thoughts take me downtown
Change up at the turnstile
Go blind into traffic
I go about it the wrong way
So what
See both pennies landed
They jump where the sky scrapes
One’s heads
One’s blind
I'm yours
And you’re over
Now change
Get caught on the weak end
You’re gone and now we fade
Your mind makes me nervous
Your thoughts make me feel bad
It’s all right
It’s all right
Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake
The clouds out
(Shake shake shake shake)
Shake shake
The stars down
(Shake shake shake shake)
Shake shake
It downtown
I brace myself
To fall in place
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you
Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake
The clouds out
(Shake shake shake shake)
Shake shake
The stars down
(Shake shake shake shake)
Shake shake
It downtown
Now you can see yourself
Now you can see yourself
Now you can see yourself
Now you can see yourself
Stars
Change up at the turnstile
Go blind into traffic
I go about it the wrong way
So what
They jump where the sky scrapes
One’s heads
One’s blind
I'm yours
And you’re over
Now change
You’re gone and now we fade
Your mind makes me nervous
Your thoughts make me feel bad
It’s all right
It’s all right
Shake shake
The clouds out
(Shake shake shake shake)
Shake shake
The stars down
(Shake shake shake shake)
Shake shake
It downtown
To fall in place
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you
Shake shake
The clouds out
(Shake shake shake shake)
Shake shake
The stars down
(Shake shake shake shake)
Shake shake
It downtown
Now you can see yourself
Now you can see yourself
Now you can see yourself

verse 1: his thoughts about her are making him feel bad. possibly leading him to doing reckless things.
verse 2: the penny represents the one-sidedness of the relationship. he wants her to change for him.
verse 3: she doesn't and he gets ready
verse 4: gloomy days, dreams fall apart
verse 5: he prepares for the pain
the rest: i think he hoping she's realized what she's done, but he'd accept her anyway because maybe she doesn't know any better
it may be about daydreaming, but I also believe its a 'love' song, so to say.
I believe he's thinking about a girl, and their current situation, and how shes now over him, yet he's still stuck on her.
I think this song's about daydreaming
I agree. Kind of reminds me of Where is my mind by the Pixies or Stella was a diver and was always down by Interpol.
i love this song!Why only 4 cmnts?
Absolutely adore this song... I was never too sure what it meant. detourhead's comment makes sense though.
fuck yeah
Im not for sure but, it seems like insecurity in a relationship.
about someone that keeps trying and no matter what it's not enough.

one knows what he wants, the other is confused (blind). one wants to give himself to the other, the other already left.

the other let emotions take over. The one is worried and confused as to what the other is thinking.

Why isn't this band more well known? They are amazing!
I first heard this song on the opening credits of The Air I Breathe and felt like I had to check out this band and more of their songs.
Great movie. Great band. Kick ass song.
