Farewell, bye bye
The sorry look in your eye
It doesn't mean a thing
So long, we shared beds
Now it comes to an end
With such a saddened eye
'Cause I've heard stories
Ugly stories that no one can deny
They were true
They were true
While I was away
You were workin' every day
Or so it seemed
Phone calls, regrets
Everyone placed bets on odds
I couldn't see
'Cause I've heard stories
Ugly stories that no one can deny
And I've heard stories
Ugly stories that no one can deny
They were true, they were true
They were true, they were true
Believe in your doubts
Because I found out
You can never trust in anyone
And here in the south, I call you out
You can never trust in anyone
It's not for all
Next time, you're in town
Don't bother coming around
You're not welcome anymore
Unfair, so unkind
To have wasted my time
On such a silly dream
'Cause I've heard stories
Ugly stories that no one can deny
And I've heard stories
Ugly stories that no one can deny
They were true, they were true
Tonight the moon shows an extra light
That shines for only us to see
And all it takes for you to smile
Is lift your eyes and breathe
Because when you start to doubt somehow it all works out
The line becomes the truth
And what we need right now is somewhere to just lay down
And dream the whole night through
Your cousin had called from somewhere across the ocean
Bad news, a death it seems
And I'll be a friend, a father to an orphan
A hand in the time of need
Because when you start to doubt somehow it all works out
The line becomes the truth
And what we need right now is somewhere to just lay down
Under the cold blue stars
You would just stroll around the yard
That?s what happens to dreams
When the life strains and a child lays in you
When you got old, you play guitar
In a little town, your favorite bar
Just blowing steam, now the lights
Fade and everyone paid to see you
So did the farm, it steal your soul
When the cornfields won't grow
It's time to leave, now the heart
Bleeds and a family leans on you
You were under the cold blue stars
In another town, your favorite bar
That's what happens to dreams
Time, you should set aside some time for yourself
Time for just you and no one else
Time to figure out what's for the best, for both of us
Home, home is where I always want to be
Home is there for you and is for me
Home is where I never want to leave
And don't you know, nothing gives me pleasure like you do
Nothing has the strength to pull me through
Nothing gives me pleasure like you do
I've always been the one to follow you
In town to see this man, he asks me how I've been
He can see I'm out of frame, a wish that never came
This vehicle is stalled, the engines not that strong
I wait to be picked up, you grace me with your touch
And don't you know, nothing gives me pleasure like you do
Nothing has the strength to pull me through
Nothing gives me pleasure like you do
I've always been the one to follow you
You, you're so sure and I, I want to be sure
And don't you know, nothing gives me pleasure like you do
Nothing has the strength to pull me through
Nothing gives me pleasure like you do
Hurry up we're gonna be late
I can't wait to see this place
And if we leave now
We could be there soon
On the drive, you did not care
You're sun-tired and your stomach's bare
When your eyes light up
And out of the blue you scream
It's a miracle
And I'm here to say
It's a miracle
And I'm here to tell you now
Wake up, we're almost there
Ten more miles it was such an affair
That in all our lives
Waited for this day
And there it is, it's shining like gold
A little different than the one before
And who would've though
That you would contemplate
It's a miracle
And I'm here to say
It's a miracle
And I'm here to tell you
Miracles
They don't feel this way
It's a miracle
And I'm here to tell you now
All of the work is begun
The babies comes one by one
We lie in the mid day sun and say
All of the work is begun
The babies comes one by one
We lie in the mid day sun and say
This is a miracle that we're here today
A miracle
And I'm here to tell you
Miracles
They don't feel this way
It's a miracle
Ears to the groundâ¦ears to the ground just waiting for the sound of footsteps..
Wheels to the roadâ¦wheels to the road hoping this will be my last stop
Abuse my heart for it's all I've left, leading me on this is what I getâ¦
I've give all everything is spent hang up a sign reading room for rentâ¦
â¦Just waiting for the sound of footstepsâ¦
Wheels to the roadâ¦wheels to the road hoping this will be my last stopâ¦
And my conscience
Has it stripped down to a science
why does everything
Displease me still I'm trying
And it's so very hard
To ask for a part in your Christmas
I'm getting in
It's easy when your friend's with Jesus
With Jesus, with Jesus, with Jesus
He's coming inside me without reason
As I sit here waiting for his signal
And I ask of the Lord
To spare me his sword of forgiveness
'Cause it's so very hard
I had plans for us tonight
I had plans to make some time
With a lazy drone of a slide trombone
When is she going to come home?
Stares and sleep are locked away
Disconnect the phone
Cause folks like us don't get out much
When is she going to come home?
As crazy as it seems
Though the world, it waits for me
Patience that you seek
Then I'm right here
As crazy as it seems
Well the night, it waits too deep
The sirens make you weep
And I'll be near
Call me
Waiting
Roof tops
Pavement
I had plans for us tonight
Music at post light
Like a lazy drone of a slide trombome
When is she going to come home?
As crazy as it seems
Though the world, it waits for me
It's patience that you seek
Then I'm right here
As crazy as it seems
Well the night, it waits too deep
If the sirens make you weep
Before the bitching and the bore
The end of the cold war
The principles they were apparent
The bucket beside the door
The shoulder carries more
Than the sum of all our parts together
It's extraneous, aware
Did you say to us, I don't care
There's dust on my particulars
Of that you can be certain
It's times like these when I'm alone
I miss the iron curtain
Oh 65
Oh 65
Now the trouble with hanging out
Is the frequency of doubt
As it enters in the new equation
In the circus of the stars
There's the likelihood that ours
Is just a cheaper form of neurosis
It's extraneous, aware
Did you say to us, I don't care
There's dust on my particulars
Of that you can be certain
It's times like these when I'm alone
I miss the iron curtain
The good things they proceed to rot
The uselessness of smoking pot
When you think of things
You haven't got to say
Oh 65
Oh 65
Oh 65
She was feeling 1972
Grooving to a Carole King tune
Is it too late, baby?
Is it too late?
That boy was always up to no good
Smoking pot and playing pool
In the afternoon
Unemployed and high
We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this hole
Spanish girl with the tattoo
Working nights at the drive through
And she asks herself
Could this be all?
Screwing in a motel room
Watching news on channel two
Victoria, tell me
Where is your dream?
We're going through some changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this
We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this
A way out of this hole
Out of this hole
If I need to be curious
I'll hold it back
If I seem to be serious
I'll spout it out
Last year was the best that I ever had
Last year was the best and I sold you that
Now I hear your voice again
It's like someone listening
I know that you're there
Someone listening
I know that you're there
If you're not in this world once again
Watch the way you backstroke across the room
Arms out floating
It consumes me
You haunt in your trail
Last year was the best that I ever had
Last year was the best and I sold you that
Now I hear your voice again
It's like someone listening
I know that you're there
Someone listening
I know that you're there
If you're not in this world
If you're not in this world
If you're not in this world once again
Sure you won't
Communication and the eyes closed
You keep your questions
and I'll throw the rope if I need it
If I ever should need it
So I've been out almost every night
I need some sleep
I need a place to hide and recover
I needed no other
Nice to fit in
Oh, it would be nice to fit in
Because I'm living on the outside of it all
of it all
Got to stay out of the ice cold
Warm shower and a pack of clothes
and it's nothing
You know that it's nothing
Isolation in the neighborhood
Strum-strumming on a piece of wood
You make something
You know that it's something
Nice to fit in
Oh, it would be nice to fit in
Because I'm living on the outside of it all
of it all
Nice to fit in
Oh, it would be nice to fit in
Because I'm living on the outside of it all
of it all
It's been a very long time, yes a very long time
And I really don't mind if you stop me 10 times to say
That you've been feeling so blind, but you'll think
you'll survive
That's great
It's been a very long time, yes a very long time
And you've waited in line
Nice to fit in
Oh, it would be nice to fit in
Because I'm living on the outside of it all
Love ain't on my side, love ain't special, love ain't great
Lost in a fog, amusing spite to find my way
Where did you go? I still curse you to this day
I miss her smile, I miss her laughing in my face
And when you coming round
Baby I've been so blue
And I sleep with the TV on
It's the only sound now loves gone
I will recover, I will hear it whispered back
Until then I'll keep one leg up off that track
'Cause he tells you you are still upon his mind
He'll get around to see you when he finds the time
And when you coming round
Baby I've been so blue
And I sleep with the TV on
It's the only sound now loves gone
When you coming round?
Baby I've been a fool
And I've already waited so long
So long my love has gone
When you coming round
Baby I've been so blue
And I sleep with the TV on
It's the only sound now loves gone
When you coming round?
Baby I've been a fool
And I've already waited so long
So long my love has gone
Oftentimes I sit and wonder
As I gaze out over yonder
I'm so crazy about you
So crazy and it's true
I think you're wonderful
Don't change
I think you're wonderful
Don't change your way
I think you're wonderful
Don't change your way at all
It is the morning, love, you have found me
Reading the paper with my coffee
And before you must go
There's one thing you should know
I think you're wonderful
Don't change
I think you're wonderful
I think you're wonderful
I think you're wonderful
Don't change at all
At all
Here we go
Singin' our songs with our soul
Winter has gone
Where do we belong?
We have stayed too long
Friday night
So uptight, we get stoned
Sit in the Hamptons
It is too cold
We have stayed too long
Spring is finally here
And we're so well dressed
It's a talent and it's our style
So put on your hat
Because the forecast is rain clouds
Never know
American scene's such a bore
Embarrassing, still, we are hangin' on
We have stayed too long
And we'll fly
Take a gypsy to Eurosize
Our money is gone
Where do we belong?
We have stayed too long
Sick of livin' here
It's such a mess
'Cause the government built our lives
So put on your hat
Why won?t you tell me what?
Why won?t you tell me what?
What?s going on with you?
Why won?t you tell me what?
Why won?t you tell me what?
What?s going on with you?
Sparkling eyes, you?re trying to hide
I've seen those tears before, I don?t think I like them
Give me a sign, some kinda sign
To bring me back around to your way of thinking
Why won?t you tell me what?
Why won?t you tell me what?
What?s going on with you?
Why won?t you tell me what?
Why won?t you tell me what?
What?s going on with you?
Wasting my time, my precious time
Whatever it is I wish you?d up and say it
Give me a sign, some kinda sign
To bring me back around to your way of thinking
Why won?t you tell me what?
Why won?t you tell me what?
What?s going on with you?
Why won?t you tell me what?
Why won?t you tell me what?
What?s going on
Only half of the time do you tell me just what you want
Only half of the time do you tell me just what you want
Can I get some contact? Can I get some contact from you?
Can I get some contact with what is real?
It's the end of the night and I'm feelin' sexual
It's the end of the night and I'm feelin' sexual
Can I get some love back? Can I get some love back from you?
Can I get some love back that you conceal?
And now I've fallen under your charm
And now I fall into your arms
Where I feel alright
In the blink of an eye do we do what's natural
Maybe once or twice do we do what's natural
Is it just a love task? Is it too much to ask from you?
Is it just a love task or do you feel?
And now I've fallen under your charm
And now I fall into your arms
And now I've fallen under your charm
And now I fall into your arms
Where I feel alright, it's where I'll stay tonight
It's only half of the time do you tell me just what you want
Only half of the time do you tell me just what you want
Can I get some contact? Can I get some contact from you?
Why do you come here
And why, why do you hang around
I'm so sorry, oh
I'm so sorry, oh, oh
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me
When you know, oh
Why do you come
Why do you telephone
And why, why send me silly notes
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry, oh
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me
When you know, oh
Why do you come
It was because
Everything that I did
I wrote it down
On the wall
You had to sneak into my room
'just' to read my diary
Oh, it was just to see, just to see
(all the things you knew I'd written about you)
And oh so many illustrations
Oh, but
I'm so very sickened
Oh, I am so sickened now
Still, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Still, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
A good lay, ah
Oh, it was a good lay
It was a good lay
It was a good lay
Oh, it was a good lay
Good lay, good lay
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Good lay, oh
Subway shines
City lights
Out of time
Running to catch the last train
The last train
Subway shines
City lights
Out of time
Running to catch the last train
Two lazy dreamers on a winter's night
Making plans for the spring
You paint a picture while I put away my clothes
A crooked couple standing side by side
Is that you?
Is that me?
We laugh in circles and we dream of some place to go
We'll sleep on roof tops
We'll ride on bicycles
Maybe we'll get married
Don't you want to, sweetie?
With so much talent you're not fit for this world
You're an actress, there's no screen
A couple movies now you're stuck in this broadway show
Sink full of dishes and a dirty face
Where's the passion?
Talk is cheap
We laugh in circles then we turn the lights down low
We'll sleep on roof tops
We'll ride on bicycles
Maybe we'll get married
Don't you want to, sweetie?
We hear some music
Coming from the street down below
And the melody carries
Won't you sing with me, sweetie?
Won't you sing with me, la, la, la, la, la...
I hope I can love you
Just like you deserve to be
Tell me what you're feeling
Forget all your little problems
Forget the boy you left at the bar
I got a stash, been savin' for months now
California's not very far
Come on lady
Take this bum and make him right
You're my steady
You're the one that makes me feel sunshine
The one that makes me feel sunshine
I wanna be your baby, daddy
I wanna be your self-employed
So pack up the van and we'll go drivin'
To the coastal state
Come on lady
Take this bum and make him right
You're my steady
You're the one that makes me feel
So come on lady
Give this bum with a sense of pride
You're my steady
You're the one that makes me feel, feel sunshine
The one that makes me feel sunshine
Here comes the summertime, the feelings in the air.
I remember cigarettes, tube socks, sun burns and long blond hair.
Here comes the summertime, yeah its coming soon.
I remember living upstairs, drinking iced-tea and swimming pools.
And the feeling doesnt last that long.
Before you know it, its up and gone, oh yeah.
The things we do
In the summertime, yeah its coming soon.
I remember watermelon, finger banging, purple rain and being cool.
Here comes the summertime, the feelings in the air.
I remember drive-ins, soap operas, fireworks and county fairs.
And the feeling doesnt last that long.
Before you know it, its up and gone, oh yeah.
The things we do
In the summertime.(x4)
Sat in the kitchen with an asthma cigarette
Out the window with an inch of regret
It's a gray world
Sold all the gear that he had in the shed
Gave him a hard time, so he up and quit
It's a gray world
And the old van is tired and slow
Wouldn't go
Down at the quarry to have a swim
I took off my shirt but you won't go in
It's a gray world
Later at the fire with a marshmallow stick
You were embarrassed because she was so thin
It's a gray world
And the old van is tired and slow
Got a gift, hesitate
Never make the same mistakes
If you could only be a person
If you could only reach the man, yeah
We could move back to the suburbs
Rent a house, change our name
If you could only find a purpose
If you could only stay the same, yeah
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
I could help you open and unfurl
Shut up and listen
Shut up, you talk too much
You're my source for inspiration
You're my hopes for retire
Plan a trip, get away
Never make the same mistakes
If you could only be a person
If I could only be a man, yeah
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
I could help you open and unfurl
And unfurl, and unfurl
Sweetheart, sweetheart
Got a gift, don't hesitate
Never make the same mistake
Sweetheart, sweetheart, unfurl, unfurl
One, two, three
Life is good, sometimes it's bad
It has its ups, it has its downs
Just sing a song and feel all right
'Cause that's just life
And if you're lost, don't be sad
There are good times, to be had
Just sing a song and let love shine
'Cause that's just life
That's just life, that's just life
So darling, don't cry
And when your hour, it is near
And your friends, they all are here
To share their love and to be kind
It's just life
Oh and when you're gone, you won't be back
I'll remember those, special times we had
I'll sing this song and feel alright
'Cause that's just life
That's just life , that's just life
Sending post cards for a dime
It fills the day
Occupies her time
Lavina sits alone in a chair
She doesn't speak or write
Of any despair
And you don't know what that's like
You don't know what that's like
Fall so hard to stand up
The pain she cannot hide
No, you don't know what that's like
The years have crippled her right inside
She has her friends
She has her pride
Maybe later her pa
Can go for a ride tonight
Now wouldn't that be nice
And you don't know what that's like
You don't know what that's like
Fall so hard to stand up
The pain she cannot hide
No, you don't know what that's like
Frail heart
Frail heart
Frail heart
No it aint the way that your hair hangs down, and you dance like a clown
We just don't like you around
You were a New-Waver, it was 1983, I was new on the scene, I just wanted everyone to like me
So I told 'em that we're not friends and I thought you were wierd, what a two-faced thing to do
And you held your head high,
And you held your head high
when you walked down my street, oh no
At my birthday party you just showed up, we were so stuck up, we just wanted to be mean
Yeah there goes that girl with the cheap guitar, she's a punk rock star,she's a dying art
And you held your head high,
And you held your head high
when you walked down my street,
And you rolled your eyes to the sky,
yeah you rolled your eyes to the sky,
You don't feel a thing,
And you held your head high,
And you held your head high
when you walked down my street,oh no
No it aint the way that your hair hangs down and you dance like a clown,
Mom and Dad
I'm living in Michigan with Uncle Ray
He and Aunt Terry said I should write
Said I should write or I should phone you
I just don't have that much to say
See I've been bar tending about three nights a week
It's a stand-up joint and they're good to me
And I stay bored most all the time
?Cept for the cards that Ray and I play
Yeah, he's the only friend I've
Got in this place
Still it's better than Wichita
Aunt Terry, she's fine
She wants you to know she's wrote a song
She's picking up where she left off
She's bringing it back 'cause its been years since shes tried
God has it really been that long?
Mom I'm sorry, I was wrong
Dad I'm sorry 'cause I just couldn't stay in that town
Where everyone knows everything about me
Michigan, she's alright
Still I haven't found a love
Just want to be happy
Love, your son
Just try to be happy
Is it in your hair
Or your camera starin'
Is it
physical
There's no way to know
Could I be
that strong
Open up your heart
Let the sun shine in
Well who really cares
And who really cares
all the promises that you wore
They've all been swept
under the door
And all the people inside your dreams
They've become reality
And you are a star
And you are a star
Yeah you
Is it natural
With your head down low
Could you bear the cost
That
you can't afford
Could I be that strong
Open up those scars
Let the world fall in
Oh and you
really did
Did you come back kid
And all the
promises that you wore
They've all been swept under
the door
And all the people inside your dreams
They've become reality
And you are a star
And you are a star
And you are a star
And you are a
star
Step out into the sun
Step out into the world and love someone
Save yourself from hate
Save yourself from hate and all the hassle
And you people all know know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
Yeah you people all know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh
Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh
Now everybody's scared
Scared of being lonely and abandoned
If you find someone who cares
If you find someone to love and understand you
Then you people all know know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
Yeah you people all know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh
Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh
Yeah you people all know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
Yeah you people all know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
If you people all know what I'm talkin' about
Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh
Spread the love vibration
Spread the love vibration
It was a really cold day in London
A rainy, rainy afternoon
She told me she was coming over
She had some news
Always looking over her shoulder
For promises that never come
I could be the one to console her
A ray of sun
But listen honey
I am not the kid, to tell you how to love or how to
live
And if you think that I am just a bridge, then I'll be
leaving now
This bridge is falling down
You really should stay off that corner
Someday someone will get killed
They should put a sign to warn you
It's dangerous
Don't look up to the sky
Cuz your feeling is just not right
And all those plans that you made last summer
They all died
So when are you coming over?
When you gonna make it pay?
London is growing colder
I'm leaving on the train today
But listen honey
I am not the kid, to tell you how to love or how to
live
And if you think that I am just a bridge, then I'll be
leaving now
I feel all of your shame
So come here, turn off the radio
I watch you push away
And I know you suffer and succumb
So clear, if I should stay
Sleep here, out on the patio
I've watched you push away
And I know you crumble on your own
So be on the lookout for me
Be on the lookout for me
This is where I'll be
Be on the lookout for me
So near all of your fame
And I'm here, this is the one you know
And I've watched you push away
I know you crumble on your own
So be on the lookout for me
Be on the lookout for me
This is where I'll be
It's your fear
Keeps you home
The darkness swings
A silent phone is all you got
If somebody calls today
It won't be safe here any more
Late night conversation turns into a fight
And all the years you've been frustrated
They finally subside and now you walk away
To face the day alone
It's safe right here
Behind closed doors
And if your ears
You hear by choice and not by will
You stated you caused today
You won't be staying any more
Late night conversation turns into a fight
And all the years you've been frustrated
They finally subside and now you walk away
To face the day alone
Miscommunication turns into a fight
And all the years you've been frustrated
They finally subside and now you walk away
Stubborn little man
Did a little hands on a worn out tire
He's just like his dad
Proud that he had it set aside
Until that day
Many came and took his life
Ditzy campaign
Til the rains washed away
His beautiful plan
His beautiful plan
His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right
Some folks just don't last that long
And he won't be dead tonight
So he got up
Got in his truck and drove around
A stroke of bad luck
He figured as much
It won't keep him down
He found fame
He lives in a place near Clearwater still
Works on a boat
Carries a load cause there's lots to feel
There's lots to feel
His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right
Some folks just don't last that long
And he won't be dead tonight
A happy old man
Did a little hands-on with his knife
Sleeps in the coals
The pits and the falls that made up his life
Now he's inspired
Sits by the fire, how his wisdom sings
So much to learn
Stories that burn all the joy they bring
The joy they bring
His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right
His dreams swept away on a sad Kentucky night
He ain't gonna wait for the water what's right
Some folks just don't last that long
Used to be the street on
Which you parked your car
Wonder where you live now
Wonder where you are
Redefine another
You seem to lose
Common thread that wound
From me to you
A side of me is forced
A side of me is changed
I've seen it all before
There's nothing new
Or strange to me
Funny how such a simple thing
Can separate a pair
Hop into your taxicab
As if you didn't care
You move around so much
You seem to lose
Common thread that wound
From me to you
A side of me is forced
A side of me is changed
I've seen it all before
There's nothing new
Or strange to me
Now the waiting part is over
Can't believe you're ten feet tall
Should have seen this from the shoulder
Should have known
Known it all
Here I sit
And I'm waiting
Yes I'm waiting
Here I sit
And I'm waiting
Waiting
For the answer
I had a dream you were a mother last night
Feeding your baby by the ocean side
When I woke up I was alone in my room
Baby, please come home
Cuz it's just a smidgen of time before my blood runs dry
Shady days and stormy, stormy nights
One gives another a quarter for a dime
All the she left with was a suitcase and some shoes
Baby, please come home
Cuz it's just a smidgen of time before my love runs dry
Baby, please come home
Cuz I miss your sweet sweet smile and the texture of your
arms
Sissy had told me that you moved to Rome
Fucking those italians with expensive clothes
I need you back, baby
I miss my rolling stone
Baby, please come home
Cuz it's just a smidgen of time before my love runs dry
Baby, please come home
Cuz I miss your sweet sweet smile, and the texture of
You play your stereo loud
You've got your headphones on
I see you dancing around
To your favorite song
It's 'Who Do You Love'
I wanna know his name
And does he feel like I feel
Is he standing in the rain?
I'm out in the street
The city lights above
It's the night time, baby
Don't let go of my love
You've come a long way, baby
From your days at school
I heard you're really living uptown
I'm just a downtown fool
And would it be alright
If I took you for a ride
Took you out on the town
Maybe someplace nice
Out in the street
City lights above
It's the night time, baby
Don't let go of my love
And maybe later on
After the late, late show
We can go to your room
I can try on your clothes
You know I'm not the kind of man
To come on so strong
But when you look as good as you do
I knew it wouldn't be long
I'm out in the street
The city lights above
It's the night time, baby
Don't let go of my love
It's the night time, baby
Don't let go of my love
Yeah, it's the night time, baby
Don't let go of my love, love
Sends a little photograph
That she shot in the nude
She doesn't wear a conscience
She doesn't play by rules
So turn me on, baby, every night
And in the daytime too
I'm flyin' on like an airplane
Like some clueless fool
There goes that melancholy feelin' again
It looks like love is gonna find a way, hey, hey, hey
And just when you start believin' in it
It looks like love is gonna show its face, hey, hey, hey, hey
I got some things to show her
I take her to my room
She likes to eat that chocolate
[Incomprehensible]
She [Incomprehensible], baby, every night
And in the daytime too
I'm flyin' on like an airplane
Like some clueless fool
There goes that melancholy feelin' again
It looks like love is gonna find a way, hey, hey, hey
And just when you start believin' in it
It looks like love is gonna show its face, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Incomprehensible]
And just when you start believin' in it
Better days are
Here again I
Heard a voice say
I think he was a friend to me
The cussing and staring at
The walls
He's so invisible
This I know
It's all I know
Set a date I'll
Meet you there and
Muster up a
Photograph of all
Times you've been having out
Out west
People are special there
I guess yeah
You're so invisible
This I know
It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know
Better days are
Here again I
Heard a voice say
Waiting on my angel to count my woes
Waiting on my angel to come by here
Nothing to lose but time
Little fellow wanted to know, yes that
Little fellow wanted to know he said
Why, are you ready to die?
I told him I would have to say no
'Cause in my life I only wanted things to go right
Oh my God, I can't believe the mess I've caused
I want to go back again
Please, let me go back again
Now I gotta wait on my girl
How long I gotta wait on my girl out there?
She's down there having fun
I never was a jealous guy, you know
I never was a jealous type but I
Saw the way he looked at you
He always was a son of a bitch
In my life I only wanted things to go right
Oh my God, look at all the mess I've caused
I want to go back again
Please, let me go back again
Let me go back again
I, I, I am a loneliest cloud in the sky
Clean, clean, clean, every thing's so boring and clean
In my life I only wanted things to go right
Oh my God, can't believe the mess I've caused
I want to go back again
Please, let me go back again, go back again
Please, let me go back again
Had the operation
Get myself unsick
Silence all the surgery
I heard the needle prick
And just as I went under
I saw the nurses scream
"Doctor we've lost another
To this here surgery"
And the pain don't stop for me
And a gold day shot
Is what I need
And it's all I really want to live
And it's somewhere to begin
I feel as if I've wasted all my life
I woke up in the morning
To see my parents gleam
Surprise was in the nurse's face
I made it through the sleep
They said "Relax, take it easy"
I never knew their names
It seems that God was watching
Was watching over me
And the pain don't stop for me
And a gold day shot
Is what I need
And it's all I really want to live
And it's somewhere to begin
I feel as if I've wasted all my life
And it's all I really want to live
And it's somewhere to begin
I feel as if I've wasted all my life
All my life
I come, come up
And slip into something
It's the middle of the afternoon
I come, come up
The city's been patient
And she's downstairs waiting for you
Got no time for new friends now
I stay in a hotel room
These questions and demand's just bring you blue
And when you feel that you can't go on
There ain't nothing to be sure of
And we'll not stay forever
Just try to remember
His majesty rides
His majesty rides
Hey, look now
We move from town to town
Every city she knows my name
So come, come up
And cross over water into San Francisco Bay
Listen to your good friends now
The past holds nothing new
Waiting for these changes coming soon
And when you feel that you can't go on
There ain't nothing to be sure of
And we'll not stay forever
Just try to remember
His majesty rides
His majesty rides
I want to love it but I don't know how
I want to feel it but it's falling down
Can you guess how much one man can sit and drink in one night?
But don't look so surprised
Because this is a world where no one feels sorry for you, man
In my drunken state I claim that
I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, that was a bad time
I was on the ground crawling on all fours
Woke up the next day and I didn't feel so good
I don't know why I do this to myself
Pack up the car and put me in a hospital bed
Because I need some help to change
And I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, that was a bad time
I was on the ground crawling on all fours
Yeah I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, I got a bad time
But I'll be coming around knocking on your door
There were far too many lies
I was way out of line
This silly little boy, such a shame
I hope you're happy about the way that things worked out for me
Cause I feel better now, yeah I'm much happier now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaah
There were far too many lies
I was way out of line
This silly little boy, such a shame
And I hope you're happy about the way that things worked out for me
Cause I feel better now, yeah I'm much happier now
And I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, that was a bad time
I was on the ground crawling on all fours
Yeah I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, I got a bad time
But I'll be coming around knocking on your door
I'll be coming around knocking on your door
You want me to, I will
The older I get, I spill blame
And I lived there six months
The past is all I'm driven for
I'm driven for
And I can't recall a name
Faces are the same to me
The same you see
And I would fake it for you
There's no where near the truth to say
The truth to say
Silly simple lies
They made a human being
Out of you
And I can sympathize
I've always been the one that's there with you
Don't
Lose that
Flair
Don't (and I can sympathize)
Lose that (I've always been the one that's there)
Flair (for you)
If you want me to, I will (flair)
Flair
Flair
Flair
You called me up this evening
Cause you wanted to know whats going on
You give me ultimatums
Cause you dont want to feel you are alone
And I tell you that some folks dont evolve
Theyre content with what theyve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
I talked about September.
Fought about your taste you were on mine
What did you mean anyhow
When you said Im lost, but theres still time
And I tell you that some folks dont evolve
Theyre content with what theyve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
And I tell you that some folks dont evolve
Theyre content with what theyve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
But thats not me.
One day, you come around to see the other side of things.
One day, you come around to see the other side of things
Yes you will.
Youll come around to see the other side of things
Trying to tell me something here
In this place
All of your demons rest
In my space
I dreamed last night
You and I were there old and gray
Holding tight
You were always so cold
But I can't touch you where you are
There you stood dressed up like Nebraska
Plain as day
It's being in the dark that makes me so
Paranoid
It's the feeling of a sort that just won't
Stay inclined enough
I could see your eyes tonight
Somehow try to set it right
I could change your mind to see this
But I can't touch you where you are
There you stood dressed up like Nebraska
Plain as day
I can't touch you where you are
Domesticated lovers
Domesticated lovers
Never know they are fine
Domesticated lovers
Save every last dime
From early in the morning
Till the late, late night
There's no doubt
They lead a life apart
Domesticated lovers
Breaking each other's hearts
Domesticated lovers
She don't understand him
He can't do nothing right
He's all day sleeping
He sleeps until the night
She takes the car every morning
He don't like to drive
She works hard she brings money home
Domesticated lovers
Throwing the dog a bone
Domesticated lovers
Living a life alone
They go out to a restaurant
They don't talk
About the thing that happened that day
or the new hairdo she's got
Can you tell me, momma
Are we doing all right?
Can you tell me, momma
Will we make it through this fight?
From early in the morning
Till the late, late night
There's no doubt
They lead a life apart
Domesticated lovers
Breaking each others heart
Domesticated lovers
I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
It'd bring my happy back
In the dark
So tired of waking up and its dark
So tired of being stuck on my own here
Norway is cold dear
And here comes June
The sun is gonna shine in June
The doctor says I'll feel better soon
Fills my vitamin D pills
He hands me the big bill
Cause I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
You'd bring my happy back
I'm gonna stay on this mountain high
Til you come running back
Don't leave me hangin' out on that line
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
I miss my serotonin
And my days are goin' nowhere fast
The language is so foreign
And I can never understand
Understand
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Yeah cause I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
You'd bring my happy back
I'm gonna stay on this mountain high
Til you come running back
Don't leave me hanging out on that line
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
Yeah
Waiting for the longest time
Waiting for the longest time
Down in Tennessee
Sits a girl alone
She sings along with her favorite songs on the radio
Only friends she sees
Are on TV
Magazine and movie stars are her only family
Yeah they're all she needs
Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside
In the Nashville sky
Shines a diamond bright
Carolina says it's for the boys after midnight
She drifts off to sleep
And in her dreams
She lives in California in a mansion by the sea
Yeah that's who she could be
Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside
Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside
And then she wakes to find out
Her dream is real (It's real)
It's real (It's real)
It's real (It's real)
It's real
Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
And now she's smiling inside
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside (Inside)
You drove the road so many times
You should know from here
I fumble back a million miles
I think you should steer
If Tuesday is open I would like to drop in
And see if you could hang around
Don't want to be social
And I don't want to befriend
All you passers around
Around
Around
And around
Around
And around
Around
And around
Around
Lucky I suppose
Just you and I know
The secret will unfold
Lucky I suppose
If Tuesday is open I would like to drop in
And see if you could hang around
Don't want to be social
And I don't want to befriend
All you passers around
Around
Around
And around
Around
And around
Around
And around
Cause he gets up in the morning
And he goes to work at nine
And he comes back home at five-thirty
Gets the same train every time
And his world is built on punctuality
That never fails
Cause he's oh so good
And he's oh so fine
And he's oh so healthy
In his body and his mind
He's a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively
And his mother goes to meetings
While his father pulls the maid
She stirs the tea with counselors
While discussing foreign trade
She passes looks, as well as bills
At every suave young man
Cause he's oh so good
And he's oh so fine
And he's oh so healthy
In his body and his mind
He's a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively
He plays at stocks and shares
And he goes to the Regatta
He adores the girl next door
Cause he's dying to get at her
But his mother knows the best about
The matrimonial stakes
Cause he's oh so good
And he's oh so fine
And he's oh so healthy
In his body and his mind
He's a well respected man about town
The current will rise much faster
Makes it harder to find what I'm after
The water's up, water's down and I, I can't swim
When I am lost and you are not, then no one wins
Our babies have known no father
Makes it harder to call, I don't bother
So bottle up, bottle down, is how I live
The money's gone just one more song before I turn in
But you won't see me 'cause I won't be there
To help you asleep when you get scared
It's the absence you're afraid and the night
It approaches but I'm still a state away
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid
I can't erase what the past is
It's time to face circumstances
Sun comes up, sun goes down and I, I begin
The days grow long as I trek on and I hate knowing
That you won't see me 'cause I won't be there to
Help you asleep when you get scared
It's the absence you're afraid and the night
It approaches but I'm still a state away
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid of the night
I'm surviving but it's still from day to day
It's still from day to day
It's still from day to day
It's nice to come home for a weekend
The children have grown, how I've missed them
As I pull up, you walk out and we smile again
Careful of words
They are so meaningful
You discover
Like the blues from her breath
His genius is dead
Happy and willing to die
For your love
Happy and willing to die
Back in the bedroom
It's four a.m.
Hear the clatter
From the neighbors upstairs
Happy and willing to die
For your love
Happy and willing to die
Laid off for weeks now
And feel the sore
Still I'm tireless
From the smell of you
Happy and willing to die
For your love
Happy and willing, still am
So come
I won't make a sound
I sleep on the floor
Lay on the couch
Put yourself out
I sleep on the floor
Lay on the couch
Put yourself out
Put yourself out
Sounds so absurd
Just to be lying here
One more hour
And I'm gone
Happy and willing to die
For your love
Happy and willing to die
I won't make a sound
I sleep on the floor
Lay on the couch
Put yourself out
I sleep on the floor
Lay on the couch
Put yourself out
Put yourself out
Say it's okay
Say it's alright
Tonight
Say it's okay
Say it's alright
He used to work in Central Park where
at least a dozen women broke his heart
and there he'd sit and think about his past
She lived in Brooklyn and she rode the trains
First she'd take the G then the L
and that is where they met upon that day
She wants to help him now
Cause he's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how to smile
It's not that simple just to change a man
even if you think that you have skill
with disadvantaged hearts
So used some caution when you see him pass
He won't hurt you but his face is sad
and everyday he's breathin' through the gills
She's wants to help him now
Cause he's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how to smile
He's not happy by himself
The summer turned into fall
And they took a little trip up to the cape
And that is where they laid their bodies down
And in the morning when the the sun came up
She looked at him just to say that she would never ever
go astray
It's gonna work out now
Cause he's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how
He's the man who doesn't know how to smile
Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
Please help me see this through,
My sweet Elaine
Sweet Elaine
Here we go again,
Making new arrangements
A wedding with some strangers,
It's a fantasy
Drink the rain,
Before the weather changes,
New years and new faces,
Lost of celebrations,
For no reason.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
My sweet Elaine.
Why slow down?
We've always moved around,
Strangers and acquaintances,
This conversations crazy,
What am I to do?
Sweet Elaine,
Help me to ease this pain.
'fore the book starts over,
I found a four leaf clover,
On your front step.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
Please help me see this through,
Oh my sweet Elaine.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
I was never one to stay,
But I'm holding on
I'm holding on,
I'm holding on,
I work so hard for you,
Please help me see this through,
Please help me see this through,

Fell down on both knees, you were young
Bones still soft, legs fell numb
Oh, how those sparrows sang for you
So you grew up, an isolated pup
You had some books, you had some love
Oh, God was watching over you
Oh, how those sparrows sang for you
You witnessed a man a holy man
Touched your head with his gentle hands
Oh, God was watching over you
Lived in a house in Birmingham
A preacher's son, the Lord's plan
Oh, God was watching over you
Oh, how those sparrows sang for two
When you arrived, he carried you there
Near the preacher's son, your only love
Oh, God was watching over you
Wedding bells rang

Church choir sang

A gospel song
(Whoa-oh oh whoa)
A beautiful one
(A beautiful one)
Oh, such a melancholy tune
(It's a sad tune mmm-mmm)
Put on your winter coat my dear
They say the snow is coming hard
Gonna be the worst in years
It sems my old world has disappeared
The way you roll your eyes like that
It makes me not want to talk
We'll sit and watch the plants for a while
If we don't bring them in they'll die
I walk over to where you are
I see the sky is pulling down
Doesn't make a sound out here
It's gonna stay that way it appears
And the evening is burning baby, one, two, three
It's the closest thing to motion that we'll ever see
Here's a glass little girl
We should toast to the world
On this snowy night
Have you seen the news it looks dire
They're closing all the roads
Looks like we're stuck inside tonight
I'll go and put some wood on the fire
The wind is blowing through the top of the stove
The flame struggles to survive
I see you left your keys by the door
I can't believe you would brave this storm
And the evening is burning baby, one, two, three
It's the closest thing to motion that we'll ever see
There's no chance little girl
It's too fast little girl
And the wheels keep spinning on the icy street
It's the closest thing to motion that we'll ever see
There's no chance little girl
You won't last little girl
I know this sounds absurd
Let me start this verse
Your passion has slown you down
In a corner you sit on a chair
Where's that shirt you wear
That makes you look so soft (and full)
And I won't ask for much
I won't ask for anything at all
And I won't ask for much
I won't ask for anything
You could just sit there and smile
Fell into a sleep
Fifteen minutes deep
You can't hold a thought there
This apartment's cheap
It's breaking God's heart to see
You look so down and inspired
And I won't ask for much
I won't ask for anything at all
And I won't ask for much
I won't ask for anything
You could just sit there and smile
And smile
And smile
And smile
And smile
A slaveship, lost at sea
A slaveship, lost at sea
And I'm drowning your waters deep
I'm drowning your waters deep
A spaceship in the country
A spaceship in the country
And we're flying into green
We're flying into green
And I told you a thousand times
(Sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?
The city, there's an empty street
The city, there's an empty street
And we're dancing to the lonely beat
We're dancing to the lonely beat
Your building is where we'll meet
Your building is where we'll meet
And I'm hungry, lets get something to eat
I'm hungry, lets get something to eat
'Cos I told you a thousand times

I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?
Your daddy, he ain't like me
Your daddy, he ain't like me
I'm striving, I so wanna be
I'm striving, I got to agree
One day girl, you'll be my queen
One day girl, I'll be your king
And we'll reign in a castle supreme
We'll reign in a castle supreme
'Cos I told you a thousand times
(Sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?
'Cos I told you a thousand times

I love you, would you marry me?
I would swim across the ocean
I would lay down on a bed of nails
But I'll spare you all the bull shit
I will spare you all the desperate details
Saturday I'm on the plane
I'm flying home to you
And when our time is lonely
And when our time is hard to be away
I'm playing my guitar in some basement club
A thousand miles away, yeah yeah

I'm feeling dull and blue
Saturday I'm on that plane
I'm flying home to you

And when you're done with working
I will take you to see a matinee
Saturday I'm on that stage
I'm feeling dull and blue
Saturday I'm on that plane
I'm flying home to you
To you
Oh yeah
Be home soon, oh yeah
Be home soon, oh yeah

You're watching all these speeding cars, moving like you wish you could
But oh, it's too bad
'Cos they drove away your happiness and good times
But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay
And sad eyes you are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry you'll be the only one
To make them go away
You're so young and so bored
You are staying now till late 'cos he was what your husband hated
But oh, it's too bad
'Cos he has stolen now all your happiness and good times
But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay
And sad eyes you are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry you'll be the only one
To make them go away
Yeah you could make them go away
It took a lot of tears, but oh, you had to find those
Sympathetic years the ones you left behind him
It took a lot of tears, but oh, you had to find those
Sympathetic years the ones you left behind him
I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay
And sad eyes you are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry you'll be the only one
To make them go away, yeah
Sad eyes you are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry you'll be the only one
To make them go away
Things are gonna go away
Yeah they're gonna go your way
Think I'm gonna pass out, think I'll just lay down right here
Someone turn the light out?
I'll cover myself with a jacket, I'll still
Catch the last ride on a Brooklyn train
30 years old and nothing's changed
Spent hours on a land line, hopin' you would find time for me
Showed up at your door, it was a scene, I was so sure
You would be free
I should have caught a ride on a Brooklyn train
30 years old and nothing's changed
And I'll rise to greet you in the morning time
And I'll rise to greet you in the morning
Tried so hard to ignore all the feelings I have for you
They won't leave, I'm so crazy
How I wish you would
Come around and we could meet
So catch the last ride on the Brooklyn train
Meet me on a corner and I'll entertain
And I'll rise to greet you in the morning time
And I'll rise to greet you in the morning
It's an honest thing and honest things they last
Think they're gonna come and carry me away
I think they're gonna come and carry me away
Think they're gonna come and carry me away
From you
I think they're gonna come and carry me away
Think they're gonna come and carry me away
I think they're gonna come and carry me away
I know somewhere there is a party goin' down
Interestin' people, conversation to be found
I've lived in cities where there is no solitude
I've made some friends here that I hope I'll never lose
But for now, I want to stay in this quiet town
The neighbors on my block, they've got stories to tell
This is the grocery but once was a hotel
And Mr. Driskle, he just stands there with his smile
Inviting everyone he sees to come inside
This is the life I want to live in a quiet town
Ooh, sometimes I miss the show
I learned a long time ago
Ooh, sometimes I miss the show
I learned a long time ago
Come Sunday morning, there's a market on the square
Children are playin', bells are ringin' in the air
Old men are drinkin', it's a lazy afternoon
Content with thinkin' that there is nothin' to do
So for now, I'm goin' to stay in this quiet town
I searched for you but you were nowhere to be found
A coastal state and all I stood on was frozen ground
And now I found you, it's been three months to the day
Oh and baby it's so good to see you, how I missed your
face
The bedroom light was on as you waltzed off thru the
hall
My hands were shaking, it was like I never knew you at
You move so slowly, with such eloquence and grace
Oh and baby it's so good to see you, how I missed your
face
Oh baby, it's so good to see you, how I missed your
face
Princess on the porch as I waited for the flood
Gave you all the love I could, I gave you all that I
should
And now you tell me you are dying to be free
Oh baby it's so good to see you, why'd you have to
leave?
Oh baby it's so good to see you, why'd you have to
leave?
I walked out to my car, in my pocket that's where I
found the key
I turned around to see you staring right back at me
That's when I realized how you wanted and it will never
Oh baby, it's not you I was searching for, it's only me
Oh baby, it's not you I was searching for, it's only me
Oh baby, it's not you I was searching for, it's only
it's only me
Another day at the races
You wake up with your feet on the ground
Keep alive all your senses
And there's no more wasting your time
There's no more wasting your life
Another hill of smiling faces
Passing through another four house town
None of them speak the language
And there's no more wasting their time
There's no more wasting their life
And if we take the path that leads by the river bank
The mountains, they will turn into stairs
Think about all those who have come before
It's the only way that you're going to learn
Here, we have a bed and breakfast
We go to sleep with our insect crown
Still wear our smiling faces
It's another day potato and wine
And if we take the path that leads by the river bank
The mountains, they will turn into stairs
Think about all those who have come before
As you waltzed in
The room became a glow
Maybe I would see you now
And you're welcome I suppose
To a life less known
Where normal things surround
So don't let on
Don't let go
We should know
It's just parts of who you are
Don't let on
Don't let go
It's just parts of who you are
Just parts of who you are
Where do I fit in
This game that's begun
Is it too late to turn back now
But there's some hope I suppose
And a light that shows
And it dangles above my head
So don't let on
Don't let go
We should know
It's just parts of who you are
Don't let on
Don't let go
It's just parts of who you are
Just parts of who you are
It comes out now and then
And it comes out now and then
And it comes out now and then
Put on your overcoat
This old house has some kind of draught
Even the warmest days it seems cold out
Summers never seem to last
So maybe we should move to Arizona
Stay at a dozen houses per spell
Spent the last three months in South Dakota here
Difference now I can't seem to tell
And I'm trying to sleep but there's talking in there
And the smoke from the room leaves a stench in the air
And you've waited and waited and waited
Just to fall here
And again
Now we find ourselves in temple
Write these thoughts down every day
Seems the symptoms of self discovery
Often lead to our dismay
And I'm trying to sleep but there's talking in there
And the smoke from the room leaves a stench in the air
And you've waited and waited and waited
Just to fall
There's no use in trying when you can't even see
The distinction between what is real and you need and
your
Your hope's gone away
And you're away
And I'll tell
And you're away
And I'll tell
Thinkin' so much my crowded head became sore
Fell back into the place I was before
Reasons long enough to not let show
Follow through this once because I said so
I think I got it all figured out
I think I got it made
I think I got it all figured out
I think my plan is safe from laughter
From laughter, no
I'll wait
I'll wait the day
Slowly I begin to come around
Woke up to a soft and subtle sound now
Someone is speaking one room away
Just loud enough so I can hear what they're sayin', sayin'
I think I got it all figured out
I think I got it made
I think I got it all figured out
I think my plan is safe from laughter
From laughter, no
I'll wait
I'll wait the day
And I watch what I say and I
Watch what I do and I
Watch what I say and I
Watch what I
I think I got it all figured out
I think I got it made
I think I got it all figured out
I think my plan is safe from laughter, from laughter
From laughter
From laughter
I'm a man of wants and needs
If you got something, I will share it
You don't see the things I see
When it comes to love and carin'
In a queen size bed
There were things been said
I never thought you'd be
The first one to leave
Knights of loneliness
Where have you gone, there's nowhere safe
Knights of loneliness
Now that you upped and ran away
Inside the city you cannot be found
You left the country girl and that's apparent
In the alleys I can hear your sound
It echoes low where I can hear it
Then the sky turns red
And I'm walking dead
Through the aching trees
I hear your reprise
Knights of loneliness
Where have you gone, there's nowhere safe
Knights of loneliness
Where could you be, there is no trace
Miles from me now
It's all a blur, there is no face
Knights of loneliness
Now that you've upped and ran away
You upped and ran away
You upped and ran away
You upped and ran away
Then the sky turns red
And I'm walking dead
Through the aching trees
I hear your reprise
Knights of loneliness
Where have you gone, there's nowhere safe
Knights of loneliness
Where could you be, there is no trace
Miles from me now
It's all a blur, there is no space
Knights of loneliness
Now that you've upped and ran away
Knights of loneliness
Knights of loneliness
Knights of loneliness
Knights of loneliness
Now that you've upped
Now that you've upped
Now that you've upped
Now that you've upped and ran away
You upped and ran away
You upped and ran away
Tell the boys in the back
Danny's crashed his cadillac
He ain't hurt anybody
At least he wasn't drinking
He was just outside Detriot
You know those roads they are all broke
You cant get anyplace
There aint no point in driving
He's flying in today
He's been all around the usa
He's seen every state at least twice
He's gonna break the news
That his ladies runnin' loose
Yea its getting around
I gotta tell him the truth
But I dont wanna do it
Don't wanna bring him down
Cause being down with some Jersey clowns
Can almost drive you insane
What a shame he's been away
Cause he's worked so hard to pay those bills
He's got two kids from his marraige before
And I wonder what makes him stay
You know it ain't the first time
She's played him like this a thousand times
It won't be the last
He's gonna break the news
That his ladies runnin' loose
Yea its getting around
I gotta tell him the truth
But I dont wanna do it
Don't wanna bring him down
Cause being down with some Jersey clowns
Can almost drive you insane
Tell the boys in the back
You've got some room for Dan
I'm sure he'd be greatful
He's coming home today
He's gonna break the news
That his ladies runnin' loose
Yea its getting around
I gotta tell him the truth
But I dont wanna do it
Don't wanna bring him down
Cause being down with some Jersey clowns
Can almost drive you insane
Being down with some jersey clowns
Can almost drive you insane
He decided he'd be better off alone
So he left his wife and child and went solo
It is summertime, Atlanta's hot as hell
He thinks back to what he had, and where he's now
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars
Found a payphone and the courage it did swell
What to say, James never really knew that well
His apology was more than they could stand
'I'm just a poor excuse for what some call a man'
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars
'So I want you to be spirited and brave
Find someone to love, but never take my place'
He hung the phone up and defeated his own life
Disappeared into the closest neon sign
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars
Maybe I was right
So just lay off for a little while
And we could work it out some other time
You and your narrow mind
Can just go on and stay awhile
Cause I've got better things to fall apart
When the secrets, they aren't worth fighting for
People, they stay in between
And in between you'll stay
In between you'll stay
In between you'll stay
I know you're only borrowed
For now
Did it just in spite of all the boys
Who stood in line
To see your pretty face against the light
You and your new find
Can just go on and stay awhile
Cause I've got better things that fall in line
When the secrets, they aren't worth fighting for
People, they stay in between
And in between you'll stay
In between you'll stay
In between you'll stay
In between you'll stay
I know you're only borrowed
For now
And when the secrets, they aren't worth fighting for
And people stay in between
Will it always be like this
Wanderin' with no place to stay?
And when will I accept your help
Instead of always helping myself?
Could I make a comeback
Based on what I have done?
Can I have the keys please
To get out of this dungeon?
Will I be alternative
If I change myself around from year to year?
Or will I be like Mr. Ray
Get myself on outta here?
So what about all the full moons
When the luna rised and so did I
What about all the full moons?
And what about if I say bye-bye
I...I woke up in the Mayflower
Lying on floor from the night before
He was gone and so I crawled into bed
Still naked...So I lay back and I...
Well they have a party
That doesn't start until 3 AM?
And Willie has the womens there
The ones that only fuck the English bands
So what about all the full moons?
When the luna rised and so did I
(Look out now)
What about all the full moons
What about if I say bye-bye
Say bye-bye
I woke up in the Mayflower
Lying on the floor from the night before
He was gone and so I crawled into bed
Still naked...
That's when I woke up in the Mayflower
Lying on the floor from the night before
He was gone and so I crawled into bed
Still naked...
And then I saw the whole thing
Brilliant bolt of thunder
Flash of light
Grand idea
The special thing went right over my head
Over my head
Let me tell you a little story of how I got my attitude
When I moved to Manhattan, I hadn't even finished
school
I was working so hard just to pay those bills and stay
there
I had my own agenda, no one even really cared
Time was running out, I had to make a move
So I picked up the bass guitar and I played it cool
A couple years later, I'm living in Paris, France
Hanging out with DJs, following the latest fads
I was working so hard just to figure out the clothes
and the hair
I tried so hard not to show it, I walked with my nose
in the air
The french didn't want me around, they didn't like my
groove
So I packed up my bass guitar and moved to Hollywood
I had one last chance
It was all there waiting for me, honey
Sunny Hollywood
Let me tell you a little secret, I'll tell you a little
story now
Time, it was running out, I had to make a move
So I picked up the bass guitar and I played it cool
The french didn't want me around, they didn't like my
groove
So I packed up my bass guitar and moved to Hollywood
Let me tell you a little secret, I'll tell you a little
Hey porcupine
Where on earth is your sharp ass wit today
Did it leave you with your drinking
I heard you've cleaned up and you're going back to
school
What a shame
And hey
There's lots of time
25, an enlightened mind is okay
Did it please you to know that
I completed a show that's second rate
Well hooray
I don't call you any more
It's a difference in our taste
Oh hey porcupine
That's fine
Hey we've got tonight
So let's sit down and fix ourselves a plate
Did it please you to know that
I completed a show that doesn't pay
Well hooray
I don't call you any more
It's a difference in our fate
I don't call you any more
It's a difference in our taste
Oh hey porcupine
Hey porcupine
Hey porcupine
When I was
A little baby
A mamma's boy
No one could save me
From those kids at school
They would bully
They would tease
They would taunt me
Haunt me
You're such a pretty boy
You're such a pretty boy
You're such a pretty boy
You're such a pretty boy
Fear
I grew up so scared
The bible belt
Redneck lifestyle
One day I'll fly free
In the airplane
Where's my seat?
Where's my champagne?
Champagne
I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy
Heaven knows the lengths I go to please them every day
And they don't even notice when I'm
Down
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Hotels were closed
And the airport was clean
He was stranded alone
In his southwest dream
Hotels were closed
And the airport was clean
I was stranded alone
Drive in the slow right lane 'cause we've got some time to kill
You know I love this time of year
And you're a strange, strange find
I wanna take all I can from you just give me a sign
And I'll be right at your side
Lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow
Everything falls into place and it's love
Words, words that don't come out
If I'm confusing you I'm just here to clean your doubts
And I'm inclined to tell you I don't need any room to breathe
I wanna see you laid out, see you laid out
Sleeping on the couch 'cause baby
Lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow
Everything falls into place and it's love
And lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow
Everything falls into place and it's love
And it's love
And I will find a way
To bring the light back to your day
And I will show you, I will show you
That I, I can change
'Cause lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow
Everything falls into place and it's love
And lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow
Everything falls into place and it's love
Don't like the direction you are going to
Seems to lack the attention, that it used to
Stay out all night and get high with your friends
Wonder why you don't get one thing done
And you know, don't like the direction you are going to
Don't like the direction you have come to
Now it has the attention that it used to
Stay home all night with the TV and wife
Comfortable life's not all it's cracked up to be
Don't like the direction you have come to
And it's easy to get caught
And the weight of the world
It's falling on your face
So unsure that you would
Don't like the direction you are going to
Seems to lack the attention, that it used to
Yeah, stay out all night and get high with your friends
Wonder why you don't get one thing done
And you know, don't like the direction you are going to
Yeah, it's easy to get caught
And the weight of the world
It's falling on your face
So unsure that you would
Don't like the direction you are going to
Seems to lack the attention, that it used to
Yeah, stay out all night and get high with your friends
Wonder why you don't get one thing done
Cat doesn't care about a thing
Crickets were up, worrying
And the locusts in the season, they believe
There's people out there, listening
They will tuck you in tonight
Here's a song to help you sleep
It's the sweetest lullaby
Hear all the bed bugs sing
Sing do do do...
There's a box of a family
Lives across the street
I want to come over
And sing some harmony
And the beatle's playing banjo
With the flea
Praying mantises down there
It's hard it seems
He will tuck you in tonight
Here's a song to help you sleep
It's the sweetest lullaby
Hear all the bed bugs sing
They will tuck you in tonight
Here's a song to help you sleep
It's the sweetest lullaby
Hear all the bed bugs sing
Sing do do do...
And the winter's coming soon
They'll have to leave
So you folks out there, listening
They will tuck you in tonight
Here's a song to help you sleep
It's the sweetest lullaby
Hear all the bed bugs sing
They will tuck you in tonight
Here's a song to help you sleep
It's the sweetest lullaby
Hear all the bed bugs sing
