Music Hall
Got a message in my head
that the papers had all gone
Richard Manuel is dead
And the daylight's coming on
I've been wandering through the dark
now I'm standing on the lawn
If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things I do
I'm an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
Well it was cold when i woke
and the day was halfway done
Nearly spring in San Francisco
but I cannot feel the sun
you were sleeping next to me
but I knew that you'd be gone
If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things I do
I'm an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
Take some time before you go
think of monday's coming down
and the people that you knew
The ones that aren't around
you've been fading day to day
I've been moving town to town
If I could give all my love to you
I could justify myself
but I'm just not coming through
You're a pill to ease the pain
of all the stupid things i do
I'm an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the time
that is running out on you
[2X]

I know how you spent your time
Too many people know, you weren't alone
Your after hours followed you home
"Oh I heard", he said
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who said
I gotta lotta friends that I don't need
They say, "You'd rather hear it first from me"
Maybe I don't wanna hear it at all
It's too far to fall, so don't say
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who said
Don't ask me to tell you
No, I don't want to tell you
Don't ask me to tell you
No, I don't want to tell you
Don't ask me to tell you
No, I don't want to tell you

When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird.
Don't try to feed me
I've been here before
And I deserve a little more
[chorus]
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying and I've been thinking
And I am the Rain King
[verse]
And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone
I can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home
I'm alive, I'm alive
But I'm sinking in
If there's anyone at home at your place, darling
Why don't you invite me in?
Don't try to bleed me
I've been there before
And I deserve a little more
[chorus]
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lying and I've been sinking
And I am the Rain King
[bridge]
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
After all the dreaming I come home again
[verse]
When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of dying
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to bleed me
I've been here before
And I deserve a little more
[chorus]
I belong in the service of the queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been dying and I've been drinking

You strike a low blow
You fight a dirty fight
Right to the heart
You're putting me away
Time was movin' slow
But I was in control
There were so many things
I should've said
But couldn't think of one word
Delayed reaction, oh yeah
First I was ashamed
Then I was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Saidthat delayed reaction, oh no
First I was alright
And then I had to fight
I wanted to hurt you
I wanted to hurt you so
It was a backlash
No, I couldn't let it pass
I was so mad, I couldn't keep it down
I made it real tough
Ooh, I had to blow you off
I couldn't stand it having you around
I couldn't stand the sound, no
Delayed reaction, oh yeah
First I was ashamed
And then I was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Say that delayed reaction, oh no
First I was alright
And then I had to fight with you
I wanted to hurt you
I wanted to hurt you so
But if the rage is right
Oh, you would better be wrong
'Cause if I force a fight
Well, then I'm twice a fool
Ooh, I could've listened more
Was that what you were waiting for?
I can't imagine why, I can't imagine why
I can't imagine why you'd wanna let it go
I didn't wanna blow but
Delayed reaction, oh yeah
At first I was ashamed
And then I was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Say that delayed reaction, oh no
At first I was alright
And then I had to fight with you
I wanted to hurt you so
(Delayed reaction, oh yeah)
Ooh, I had to fight, fight, fight you
(Delayed reaction, oh no)
Just let the love blow
You've had a dirty fight
(Delayed reaction, oh yeah)
What good is saying
I lost my head, I didn't mean it, girl
(Delayed reaction, oh no)
Ooh baby, ooh baby
I can't imagine why
You wanna let it go
(Delayed reaction, oh yeah)
Ooh and the boy's so fine
And I'm twice the fool
(Delayed reaction, oh no)

I know you know all the pros and cons
They help you get to everything you want
Greasing policemen bending all the rules
Make them an offer that they can't refuse
One crime, baby, I can't forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
I'm a nice guy, I try to wait and see
If you'll get caught or go free a
You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seem like crime pays
(Crime pays)
Beat the heat no you couldn't pay me off
You're staying cool no matter what it costs
You get caught, you'll never do the time
Ooh, I have to say you got a way
With one crime, baby, I can't forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
It's all too clear but I still don't see
Why all the guilty go free
You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seem like crime pays
(Crime pays)
It seems like crime pays
(Crime pays)
Catch a thief and let her go
You won't get back the love she stole
Ooh, shake her down but she don't mind
'Cause she commit the perfect crime okay, okay
You know, I know you're a pro and con artiste
Oh baby, you're a false alarm
Why do I try to play it by the rules
I was the victim but I'm not a fool
You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays
(Crime pays)
It seem like crime pays
(Crime pays)
It seem like crime pays
(Crime pays)
It seem like crime pays
(Crime pays)
(Crime pays)
Crime pays
(Crime pays)
You stole my heart, yeah
(Crime pays)
Ooh, ooh
(Crime pays)
(You're gonna get away)
Get away bad
(You're gonna get away)
Crime pays
(You're gonna get away)
Get away bad
(You're gonna get away)
Crime pays
(You're gonna get away)
Get away bad
(You're gonna get away)
Crime pays for you, you do me wrong girl
(You're gonna get away)
Get away bad
(You're gonna get away)
Crime pays
(You're gonna get away)
You stole my heart and left me blue
(You're gonna get away)
It look like crime pays for you
(You're gonna get away)
You do it and you get away
(You're gonna get away)
