Sunshine/Nowhere to Run Lyrics
Hear the engine running as the tour bus pulls away
The sadness of the road will be the death of me one day
I'm sick and tired of my guitar and the same old songs it plays
And so I write a new one, that's the nature of the game
And when the past is over, I've got nowhere to run
The road goes on forever, even when we're dead and gone
Drinking in a hotel room, I hate what I've become
I'm turning back to nothing, all my dreams have come undone
The spotlight drew me over, now it's burning me away
So I'm looking for the real me in some shadow when I play
And when the past is over, I've got nowhere to run
The road goes on forever, even when we're dead and gone
But my love, she's so fine
She gives me the sunshine
After the rain
After the rain
My love, you're so fine
You give me sunshine
When the storm is over
You give me the sunshine
My love, you're so fine
You make my sun shine
When the storm is over
You give me the sunshine
After the rain
The sadness of the road will be the death of me one day
I'm sick and tired of my guitar and the same old songs it plays
And so I write a new one, that's the nature of the game
The road goes on forever, even when we're dead and gone
I'm turning back to nothing, all my dreams have come undone
The spotlight drew me over, now it's burning me away
So I'm looking for the real me in some shadow when I play
The road goes on forever, even when we're dead and gone
She gives me the sunshine
After the rain
After the rain
You give me sunshine
When the storm is over
You give me the sunshine
You make my sun shine
When the storm is over
You give me the sunshine
After the rain

Tarantula is such a bad album, and this has got to be the worst song off of it.
Seriously, these lyrics sound like some 14-year-old imagining life on the road, from the perspective of a burned-out rock star. Just bad, bad, bad.
It's so sad how Ride fizzled out. I even thought Carnival of Light was good...not perfect, but a good approximation of the glory days of psych rock. But they couldn't even muster that for Tarantula. Just commenting on this songs because it's the absolute worst of the bunch.
