And headed out as far as he could / Past the cities and gated neighborhoods / He slept ’neath the stars / Wrote down what he dreamt / And he built a machine / For no one to see / Then took flight, first light / Of new morning (Calexico)

I never saw the morning ’til I stayed up all night / I never saw the sunshine ’til you turned out the light / I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long / I never heard the melody until I needed the song (Tom Waits)

I don’t care for walking downtown / Crazy auto-car gonna mow me down / Look at all the people like cows in a herd / Well, I like birds (Eels)
