And everything will turn out all right
On the other side

The other side

Yea I walked by the church house but I didn't go inside
Cause I I once slept with the preacher's wife
She handed me a ticket to the other side

I was once sitting on top of the world
I really had things in my hand
But something went wrong I'm not sure what
And now I'm sitting here at home alone
People they want to give you free advice
Well that's something that I always try
But you get what you pay for that's what I say
And now I'm paying and paying and paying
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
Everything I wanted cooking on the stove
Everything I needed right in the home
I had the best thing you can have
You can have it you can have it now
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
It's just a fact (?)
Wiped that smile off my face
Put me down in my proper place
But the world just keeps on spinning around
And I'm still hanging around in this world
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
Hand over hand up the lifeline, luckily the knots stay tight.
Silhouettes of the two of us climbing, climbing up a rope on fire.
Climbing up a rope on fire.
Trapped in a room in a fortress, running outta air to breathe.
Only seconds to go and we'll break free, I didn't think that we would reach.
Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb.
And save ourselves before the oxygen is gone.
I'll call for backup, you start to scream.
It's not the first time we've been in this dream.
She ripped the wings right off my back.
She whispered deep, keep it on the track.
She said you're no angel, no angel anymore.
All the wheels are coming loose. Close-up shot of a burning fuse.
The sky is filled with question marks. Will the chains come apart?
These few seconds that I've left to go. Flames and chaos down below.
And the earth opens wide. Got to climb a rope on fire.
Look at the clock. Look at the clock.
Make it to the car but the car won't start.

We'll have to climb a rope on fire.
Hand over hand up the lifeline, luckily the knots stay tight.

She painted a bull's eye on my mind.
No matter how I moved her aim was never high.
I guess that was what I needed at the time.
A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
She was heavy, on the back beat. See played me just like a tambourine.
Well, she took me to church, prayed till it hurt.
A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find.
She was a helluva woman, from a helluva town.
She took me all the way, it was a long way down.
She makes me wonder, wonder, all day long.
Can a good woman, ever be found? Can a good woman, never be found?
She was beauty and adventure. She seemed so glad to be alive.
I want to be happy, but not all the time.
A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find.
She wrapped me up. Saved me for later.
Left me no way to penetrate her. Guess that was what I needed at the time.
A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find.
On my fingertips, on the tip of my tongue
I register your every touch
I hear your smell and I hear your smile
Fast as light two hundred miles
And all across that line
Stretched between your bed and mine
All alone just for tonight
I'm yours and you're mine
I got birds that shiver in a forest so thick
I got hands full of magic tricks
And I'll part those branches with my hands
Clear the land mines from your path
And all across that line
Stretched between your bed and mine
All alone just for tonight
I'm yours and you're mine
And all across that line
Stretched between your bed and mine
All alone just for tonight
I'm yours and you're mine
On my fingertips, on the tip of my tongue
I register your every touch
I'll row the boat across the lake
We got smoke, we got perfume in our wake
And all across that line
Stretched between your bed and mine
All alone just for tonight

And everything that happened to me

Happened to me for the best

Got an action packed extravaganza
I got a sweet haiku
I got the cash to cover the action
I got the soul for you
There's a flag I wanna fly
A mountain that I put in time
I was always on my way
Nothing's gonna shake me
And nothing's gonna make me change
That's the way I am and I'll always be the same

Mile high, mile high

So of course I would do it all over again
I surprised many people who'd written me off
Years ago now they're way underground
Nobody asked me but here's my advice
To a young man or woman who's living this life
In a world gone to hell where nobody's safe
Do not go quietly unto your grave (x2)
Learned a few tricks and I'll learn a few more
And I got enough bullets to fight a small war

Down love's tributaries
In a canoe on my knees

Vines surround us long and red
Curling around our arms and legs
Breaking through we have a drink and somehow find ourselves in sync so
We continue on and on there's no time to think right now
Perhaps another day is lost

Last night I told a stranger all about you
They smiled patiently with disbelief
I always knew you would succeed
No matter what you tried
And I know you did it all
In spite of me
Still I'm proud to have know you
For the short time that I did
Glad to have been a step up on your way
Proud to be part of your illustrious career
And I know you did it all
In spite of me, in spite of me
Late last night I saw you in my living room
You seemed so close but yet so cold
For a long time I thought that
You'd be coming back to me
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
So cruel
And I know you did it all

The view up here

Now I'm floating around up here
Way above the clouds
So high
Above the ground
And the only thing that
Holds my head to the ground
Is this
One little skinny string

No there's nothing too romantic about the way we met.
That's not to say it doesn't make a certain sense.
Maybe it's just the kind of people that we are.
That's not to say whether it's right or wrong.
It's not right or wrong. It's not right or wrong.
There's no cute story that we tell together.
Laughing and finishing each other's sentences so charmingly.
Truth is it was all an accident.
Just like it is for everybody else.
But then again it was all and accident.
Just like the way it is for everybody else.
Later we had toast, took turns sitting on the windowsill.
Like two fields of wheat, sent signals cross the kitchen sharp and sweet.
There's no cute story about the way we met.
We just woke up one day in bed.
Shouted out for alarm clocks. Where's the remote control?
Put the blankets and the chairs against the windows and doors.
And stayed close together, trying to stay warm, oh.
Now there's nothing too romantic about the way we met.
That's not to say it doesn't make a certain sense.
Maybe it's just the kind of people that we are.
It's gone to far to be right or wrong. Now, now, now, now.

Jack's dad was mad at Jack
Jack's dad didn't understand
This is real love between Tina and Jack
Tina was fast, Tina was bright
Tina was using her head last
Tina was fast, Tina was bright
Tina was using her head last
She matched her insights with Jack's lines
And he matched her stripes
Jack's dad didn't understand
This was real love between Tina and Jack
You can't fight a love like this so strong
Anytime waiting is far too
It's like trying to stop the earth
From spinning 'round
It's like trying to stop the sun
From going down
Jack's dad, he didn't like Jack
And Tina's dad, he didn't like Jack
Jack's dad, Tina's dad
Neither of them didn't understand
This was real, real love between Tina and Jack
Jack and Tina went out of state
Far away from this boring place
Jack and Tina went over the gate
Everybody needs a little getaway
Everybody needs a little getaway
Everybody needs a little getaway
Forever doesn't seem so long
You can't fight a love like this so strong
It's like trying to stop the earth
From spinning 'round
It's like trying to stop the sun
From going down
Tina was fast
Tina was using her head last
Tina was fast, Tina was bright
Tina was using her head last
Tina was fast, Tina was bright
Tina was using her in
She was bright, bright as sunshine
Jack was blinded, blinded by the light
He matched her insights
Lines, lines, lines
He matched her stripes
Lines, lines, lines
Jack and Tina went out of state
Far away from this boring place
Jack and Tina went over the gate
Everybody needs a little getaway
Everybody needs a little getaway
Everybody needs a little getaway

Jack and Tina circled back
Stole some food from Tina's dad
Borrowed Tina's brother's van
Tina won a quick pick when they stopped for gas
They got fifteen hundred dollars in their hands
With luck like that they can't be so bad
They took off all their clothes

This the way that you like it.
This what you had in mind when you called above to the angels for the six hundred and sixty sixth time.
Hey, what about this? What about this. What about this. Shake it.
So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped.
So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped.

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do to change it
Nothing I could do to make things change
This is my shame
This is my shame
I felt bad but I keep trying to kid myself about it
Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake
I felt bad but what's done is done
Just one thing remains
This is my shame
This is my shame
I know your mad at me
I know you want to cut my throat
I know you think I think it's all a joke
I don't, I don't
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away, I woke up and thought
Every thing's going to be alright, every thing's going to be okay
Then it hit me like a wave, then it hit me like a wave
This is my shame
This is my shame
Christmas cards upon the wall.
Mail seems to come so slow.
Tinsel starts to loose it glitter.
Maybe you don't have a phone.
Think about you every year about this time. About this time.
You know who you are, you are my sexy Christmas baby mine.
Merry for you. Not too merry for me.
I want you here with me. Misery loves company.
Think about you every year about this time. About this time.
You know who you are, you are my sexy Christmas baby mine.
Love's strange, bee sting, what a fool I've been
Serpentine, lives unwind, trees sing, flowers cry
A fronter town, carpet brown, picking gold, raining down
This time I do it now but I'll fast forward to a better spot now
I can go back, later I remember the place
But it's not so easy to erase a pretty face
Erase a pretty face, a pretty face
Hand on mind, all this time unraveling this ball of twine
Butterfly back, climb through paths, not too slow, not too fast
Perfect place, pretty face, nice place for a rattlesnake
Perfect place, out of face, a good day to make a mistake
Each time and I do it now, fast forward to a better spot
Go back later, I remember the place
My whole brain was out of tune (x2)
I don't know how to tune a brain do you
Went into a brain shop
They said they'd have to rebuild the whole head
I said well do what you got to do
When I got my brain back
Didn't work right
Didn't have as many good ideas
Haven't really had a good idea since I got it fixed
Murder for the money
Yea murder everyday
Murder every inch of the goddamm way
Murder in the morning yea murder in the night
Murder every single moment of your god forsaken live
Yea it's murder for the money
Yea murder for the money
Murder for the money you got to cry sweet and bleed
I've seen a grown man have to get down on his knees
Murder in the morning yea murder in the night
Murder every single day of your goddamm life
Yea it's murder for the money (x2)
Murder for the money (x3)
Murder (x8 total)
Murder every inch of the goddamm way
Murder in the morning yea murder in the night
Murder every single second of your god forsaken live

Cross my fingers and I hope to God
I knock on wood and pray with all I've got
Cross my bow with a cannonball
I see the writing on the wall hey
There's no map and there's no clue
Of where to go and what to do
Yea who to dog who to ride and who to hold
Forever by your side (x2)
Mary won't you call my name (x2)
Mary won't you call my (x2)
Mary won't you call my name
I fell into the hands of a rich man's daughter
She led me like a lamb no bother
To go and live inside a barn on her Daddy's 90 acre farm
Hide your daughters in the snow and watch out for the undertow
Hold both hands against the door and dig your feet into the floor
Tell ya there's no map and there's no clue
Of where to go and what to do
Who to dog and who to ride and who to hold
Forever by your side (x2)
Mary won't you call my name (x2)
Mary won't you call my (x2)
Mary won't you call my name

Like a mirror I'm nothing. I'm nothing. I'm nothing till you look at me.
I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me.

Leave your world, come to me. I'm closer to you than I seem.
Wish upon this melody and come to me Martha Lee.
Leave your world and join me soon. Leave your world behind.
You can take the Saturn Line. In no time, no time.
I know a ship that's leaving soon. Oh, in fact this afternoon.
So don't forget your parachute. I'll be there to catch you.
And you my future constellation. Climb up here in the sky with me.
Leave your world and come to me. I'm closer to you than I seem.
Oh, wish upon this melody and come to me. Come to me.
Leave your world and join me soon. Martha Lee. Martha Lee.

Let's take a trip together
Headlong into the irresistible orbit
Breathing the cold black space
With the glistening edges
Let's take a trip, me and you
Let's go the scenic route
Get to finally, get to finally, get to finally
Get to know each other
Just to be alone with thee, just to be alone
Just to be alone with thee
Somewhere there's no distracting breeze of information
Leaking through the windows dripping from the trees
Somewhere there's no earthquakes
Of other people's anxious questions
No nervous wrecks going down
No nervous wrecks going down
Let's take a trip together
Give me a kiss hello goodbye
What's the difference you just end everything you say with a smile
Wave goodbye hello there's that look in your eye
Forwards backwards back it down the drive
Curtains in the window wave goodbye (x2)
Hello there's that look in your eye
And your crazy smile ah
I know you and you know me too
I know everything that your going to do
I know you and you know me too
I know everything that your going through
I know you and you know me too
I know everything that your going through
I know you and you know me and I know you you know me and I know you
Give me an invitation I'll be there
Unless of course I got to be somewhere
Give me your wish list let's shake hands
If you don't like it you can have your money back
Ahh (x4)
Give me a kiss hello goodbye
What's the difference you just end everything you say with a smile
Wave goodbye hello there's that look in your eye

I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to dig out your picture
I'm never going to look you up someday
Life is very short
You don't love me anymore
So I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to write you a letter
Never going to call you on the phone
I'm never going to drive by your house
I'm never going to catch you coming outside
Never going to walk up your walk
And ring your bell
And feel you fall into my arms
I'm never going to see you (x2)

Free love oh what is it
Free love oh I can't stand it it's a panic
Normally love costs a bundle and plenty of trouble
But you fooled me you fooled me
You ran away to Italy
You fooled me
Yea you fooled me you fooled me
You ran away to Italy
With your psychiatrist who's now a scientologist
Oh I should have foreseen this
Business with your psychiatrist
Free love don't bank on it baby
Don't bank on it (x3)
Don't bank on it baby free love
So the next time someone offers you free love you know it
You better run run for shelter run for help
Run for the nearest downtown lounge in the afternoon
For for the cynical arms of a stranger
Run for the open arms of an unknown tomorrow
Because love love love is expensive hea
Free love don't bank on it baby
Don't bank on it (x3)
Don't bank on it baby free love
Don't bank on it baby

I tore open the package it was an empty box no meaning to me just an
empty box sender was a woman she said she's sending me everything I
never gave her before she said: Fill it up + send it back, so I sent her
back an empty box. A big mistake, sent back an empty box half in the
shadows, half in the husky moonlight, and half insane just a sound in
the night I enter a valley so dark that when I look back I can't see
where I began, I can't see my hands, I don't even know if my eyes are
open. In the morning I was by the sea and I swam out as far as I could
swim 'til I was too tired to swim anymore and then I floated and tried
to get by strength back. Then an empty box came floatin' by, an empty
box and I crawled inside half in the shadows, half in the husky

Where is the ritual
And tell me where where is the taste
Where is the sacrifice
And tell me where where is the faith
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
When they find a cure for pain
Where is the cave
Where the wise woman went
And tell me where
Where's all that money that I spent
I propose a toast to my self control
You see it crawling helpless on the floor
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
When they find a cure for pain (x2)
When they find a cure find a cure for pain

I was raised super strong in Harvard
If you touch me wrong, I fall apart
I found a woman who's soft but she's also hard
While I slept she nailed down my heart
I run good but I'm hard to start
And my brakes are bad so I'm hard to stop
I found a woman who's soft but she's also hard
While I slept she nailed down my heart
Let's put it to bed, let's put it down
I can't talk about it, not right now
On my dyin' day I might be able to say
On a still sea full of manly rage
On my dyin' day I might be able to say
Where every word explodes in my face
I might be able to say

She had black hair like ravens crawling over her shoulders
All the way down
She had a smile that swerved
She had a smile that curved
She had a smile that served all over the road
It's all wrong all wrong
All wrong all wrong
She had a way of making people feel good to be around her
As it should be
It's all wrong all wrong
All wrong all wrong (x2)
All wrong
And when she laughs I travel back in time
Something flips the switch and I collapse inside
It's all wrong all wrong

Kerouac, yeah, Kerouac
His words, the words, so many words just
All brothers of the same horn
Sisters of the saxophone
Notes, music, words, a melody
A quote, a figure eight, a figure
If you listen close to the drummer
It's like a mirror and you're invisible
Like you're in a back seat
No handles on the doors
Just a beautiful driver up front
She knows where she's going
Kerouac, the observation machine
Caressing the most passing of scenes
With photographic love
Passionate photographic love
Vulnerable as anyone knew
His memories pull shades up and down
Doors are not done, telegrams arrive
Every morning, something extra [Incomprehensible]
Remembering everything
Like a snatch of melody
A drumbeat remembering, mythologizing
So fast, all the time moving
The words, the words are drumsticks
Pounding out drum beats
Like a monk, like a monk, melody
With mistakes, yeah, mistakes and sudden inspirations
Edges, corners, explosions, convections
All fast through a slow motion landscape
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
If you can't decide what to do with your life
You just don't know what it is that's right
If you just don't know what to do
You just don't know what's right for you
If you can't decide where to go with your life
You just don't know where to spend your time
If you can't decide where to go with your life
I'm sure you'll do whatever is right
I've always known you were incredibly bright

You're the night, Lilah, a little girl lost in the woods
You're a folk tale, the unexplainable
You're a bedtime story, the one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me, 'cause I can make it on my own
I can make it on my own
It's too dark to see the landmarks, I don't want your good luck charms
I hope you're waiting for me across your carpet of stars
You're the night, Lilah, you're everything that we can see
Lilah, you're the possibility
You're the bedtime story, the one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me, 'cause I can make it on my own
I can make it on my own
Unknown the unlit world of old, you're the sounds I never heard before
Off the map where the wild things grow, another world outside my door
Here I stand I'm all alone, drive me down the pitch black road
Lilah, you're my only home and I can't make it on my own
You're the bedtime story, the one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me, 'cause I can make it on my own
I can make it on my own
You're the paint can falling off the wall at the door that slams
At the end of the hall where the kid rings sounds of basketball
The battle of the earth of the angels, the shifting snow drifts so realistic
So realistic, call you carpet of stars, see there is something in the yard
It's awful dark with the painted strings, the cross, the good luck charm
I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line, lined up in the sunshine
I'm on time, fresh, fast
A sweetheart, I'll watch your back
Come on swing, a swing from the shoestrings
Right or wrong, to me it's the same thing
You especially you
You especially you
You especially you
You have my loyalty
You in wartime Love peace
I need to walk you down the street
I'm right here, I'll watch your back
In case the wind blows off your hat
You, you're on time
Your eyes are like a diamond mine
Deep and bright inside
I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line, lined up in the sunshine
I got buttons bursting in the air
Ideas, run fingers through my hair
[Incomprehensible] they are ready to move
[Incomprehensible] they are ready to move
Swing it low, swing it low
Swing it low, low, low
Swing it low, swing it low
I remember meeting you, we were super low
Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones
And I remember being this close, but never alone
You gave me a little something to take home
I dropped it on the floor, I dropped it on the floor
Dropped it on the floor, I dropped it
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key, names hold key
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key, names hold key
Souvenir of nothing
Brought home a souvenir of nothing
It fits into a pocket
A souvenir, a souvenir of nowhere
Somewhere I've never been before
I dropped it on the floor, I dropped it on the floor
Dropped it on the floor, I dropped it
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key, names hold key
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key, names hold key
A souvenir of nothing, a souvenir of nothing
I remember meeting you, we were super low
Lazy boys and shy Diane's
One at a time, single file
They counted the low numbers
As they walked by
I count a high number, a low number
Among the slow numbers
The number four means nothin' to me
But the number four means death to Chinese
Number seven is lucky in Japan
Here we don't give a damn
But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
Thirteenth goin' up, goin' up, goin' up
Relaxin' as I wait in line
Some of the numbers
Lose their smiles
Specially the numbers one through nine
Because they're only seatin' parties
Of ten or higher
For the dancin' the question mark sticker
And the mermaid kickers
The number four means nothin' to me
But the number four means death to Chinese
Number seven is lucky in Japan
Here we don't give a damn
But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
I was driving my car, driving my car
I was getting kind of tired so I pulled over the car
Pulled over the car, I pulled over the car

Just because I feel a little sleepy and tired
So I kept on driving fell asleep at the wheel
Yes I kept on driving fell asleep at the wheel
I hit a tuck, I hit a truck
I got out of the car I walked around the car

Candy told me, "Nothing really matters anymore"
And when I ask her what she means she says, "I ought to know"
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy says she wonders, she wonders why we try
I couldn't think of what to say, I had no ready reply
But Candy says, "I'd like it where she is"
She says, "It's an opportunity that I don't wanna miss"
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy asked me if she died, if I could go on
"Of course" I said, "I couldn't" and of course we knew that's wrong
"Oh Candy" I said, "Candy no, you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave"
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand

First we'll pick Priscilla up and then we'll stop for Jane
And Mary Ellen needs a ride, we're goin' by her place
We're goin' to a party, our friends will all be there
I got the directions, it's across the river somewhere
We rang the top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work
Ring the one under
Priscilla's in the kitchen, she's mixing drinks
She's mixing one for me, I think
And one for Mary Ellen and one for Jane
Priscilla, she knows how to use a shaker
She doesn't get up as early as a baker, uh-uhn
There's a muchacha, teachin' me to mambo
There's my buddy Pete eyein' a bowl of Combos
Ramona and a man do a tango dip
Cheek to cheek, hip to hip, come on
The window's open, it's the heart of the summer
More people comin' lookin' for the number
Mary Ellen sees them she has a little stutter, she yells
The top floor, bottom buzzer

Ring the one under, come on, woo
It was later it was after two
We found a bottle of good Chartreuse
The lights were green and gold, we played Latin soul
By the time Priscilla put the Al Green on
The bottle was gone
On the top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work
Ring the one under, come on, woo
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work
We used to meet every Thursday, Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple a beers
And a game of pool
We used to go to a motel, a motel
A motel across the street
And the name of the motel
Was the Wagon Wheel, oh
One day, she said, "C'mon, c'mon"
She said, "Why don't you come back to my house?"
She said,"My husband's out of town
You know, he's gone till the end of the month"
Well, I was just so nervous, so nervous
You know, I couldn't really quite relax
'Cause I was never really quite sure
When her husband was coming back
It turned out, one of the neighbors, your one of the neighbors
One of the neighbors that saw my car
And they told her, yeah, they told her
They think, they know who you are
Well, her husband, he is a violent man
A very violent and jealous man
Now I have to leave this town
I gotta leave while I still can
We should have kept it every Thursday, Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers
And a game of pool
We should have kept it every Thursday, Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers
And a game of pool
(Sandman)
On my first day back my first day back in town
My first day my first day back in town
The clouds up above they were humming our song
Humming humming our song
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me
I set my course sailed away from shore
Steady steady as she goes
I crash in the night two worlds collide
But when two worlds collide no one survives no one survives and
The reddest of reds the bluest of blues
The saddest of songs I'll sing for you and
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
(Sandman / Stwart)
The defendant will be remanded to the bailiff and
Fresh mint in sparkling water and fresh lime so nice
Serve 2-4 years in the county correctional institution
New mowed lawn a hammock kids playing in a sprinkler
In Cañon City or until such time as the defence
Carefree beautiful woman entwined sand fruits sunshine
Can see no reason for leniency in this case considering
Candlelight red wine a caesar salad all in sparkling
An example to others who might be likewise tempted to
Friends woman's lips dogs canaries woman's hips
And as for you miss will you please rise and
Face the tranquility and all it's charm
And all in blessed privacy that blessed privacy
Shelia has a cat, she pets the cat
Puts a spell on the cat, a beautiful cat
Shelia has a cat, she pets the cat
Yeah, the beautiful cat says, Shelia, Shelia
Shelia has a cat, she pets the cat
Puts a spell on the cat, a beautiful cat
She takes the cat, looks him in the eyes
Makes him reply Shelia, Shelia
Oh, most gracious of beings
Oh, most gracious of beings, my queen
I'm yours to command, yours to command
I'm yours to command, Shelia, Shelia
Shelia has a cat, she pets the cat
Puts a spell on the cat, she runs her fingers down his back
'Cause Shelia has a cat, puts a spell on the cat
Looks him in the eyes makes him reply, Shelia Shelia
(Sandman)
Got to the driver of my car
Past the dogs past the guards
And all of my alarms supposed to be so state of the art
You penetrate my radar (x2)
You drop a bomb in my backyard
You penetrate my radar
You played me like a chess game
And now you say checkmate
While you go running freely spending money every place
And me I have to hide and I don't dare show my face
If I am guilty so are you it was March 4th 1982
Riding around forever on an empty tank of gas
And an empty pocketbook I better get it to the bank
High up in a glider high up here without a care
I got all the time in the world
Give me a potion to make me love you Give me a potion to make me care
Give me a potion - make it a double - make it a double Below the ocean I
make my bed down there Below the ocean I got to live somewhere Maybe the
graveyard, and maybe I don't care Why can't love be blind? Instead of
just a blind man crying: Why can't love be, why can't love be blind?
Thanks for the potion to make me love you Thanks for the potion to make
me care Your own prescription, your own devise Your charms are working
Gimme gimme [x4]
Got a bullet in my flesh, yeah
I just want to stop this pain, oh yeah
Gimme gimme [x2]
Morphine and money
Morphine and money in my dreams
To stop the pain
To kill my brain
I know hell
It`s my place
It`s my home
Gimme morphine and
You couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried
The burden of tomorrow makes me run off and hide
You stripped me off my skin, let me know "love I come"
Glasscat lioness, now what have we done?
You and me we're in love with a lie
Morphine, morphine
You and me again that's why
Morphine, morphine
With plastic happiness comes the laughing emptiness
We've always been forgetting these magic recipes
You stripped me off my skin, let me know "love I come"
Glasscat lioness, now what have we done?
You and me we're in love with a lie
Morphine, morphine
You and me again that's why
Morphine, morphine
Putting on my oblivious helmet pretending I am dead
Trying again to sleep your words out of my head
Scratch not the surface, deep beneath the feelings lie
Rest easy foes for tonight my eyes will close I always held my tongue assuming tomorrow would always come But another day has passed, I still cant see the end What wrong turn, led me to his end? Woke up, quenching razors again These faces are not my friend Dodging trains in my sleep Days as long as years, beyond belief The authors of the prophecies are dead and gone The authors of your epitaph have just been born Your deathbed is not a wishing well
There are so many words. Yet there are no words. How
could I ever try to explain the trembling in my body when
I touch your face? I patiently await your return. But i
know that we look up at the same stars, and you remain in
have been alone in this cruel world
Never had much schooling
Hard knocks are all I’ve ever known
And must say I’ve been a fool
But still some smart folks
Supposed to be so swell
Would be surprised to know the meaning
Of the word that I’m about to spell
M is for the million kicks it gave me
O is for the oaths I’ve sworn to quit
R is for the rocks I’ve spent to get it
P is for the pain I’ve got from it
H is for the hell on earth it gave me
I is the illusions I have seen
N is ‘no’ I’ll never use it
E is for the end that all dopes meet
Put them all together they spell ‘morphine’
A word that’s ruined this world today
Put them all together they spell ‘morphine’
Morphine
Oh, how can you not see?
Morphine
White love from my dream
Faster
I feel better with you
Harder
Wait so long for a dream
When I crawl across the floor,
You're just watching me, my pain
I'm bleeding now. I'm bleeding fast
I want to know
How quick, how fast my love
You will give me my last wish, last chance,
redeem me
I'm running out (x2)
I'm running out of breath,
I'm running out (x2)
I'm running out of life
I'm crawling across the floor
You're just watching me, my pain
I'm bleeding now, I'm bleeding fast
I want to know
How quick, how fast my love
You will give my last wish, last chance,
redeem me
Stop the pain, I don't care about money
Come on, come on! Give me this shot, honey
You should take to me, miss morphine
Cause you are my last chance, miss morphine
And when I'll crawl across the floor
You'll raise my hand, lst chance, no more
And you will not let me die
Better get it right first time
Stop the pain, I don't care about money
Come on, come on! Give me this shot, honey
And when I'll crawl across the floor
You'll raise my hand, lst chance, no more
And you will not let me die
Better get it right first time
And when I'll crawl across the floor
You'll raise my hand, lst chance, no more
And you will not let me die
Hold my breath, close my eyes,
Keep my fists at my sides,
My mouth shut, my tongue tied,
Raise your voice like I'm deaf,
Stare me down 'cross this desk,
Scare me good, you're the best,
Bet you think that my world's gonna stop if there ain't no we,
You can say what you want but it don't mean shit to me,
'Cause I've been down to the bottom of the barrel,
I've been to the bottom of the lick,
I've been to the bottom with the devil,
Yeah, I've been through the fire, so I just can't feel the pain,
I keep it drippin' like morphine,
Keep your keys, keep your cash,
Keep your cush, keep your hash,
Smoke-filled dreams, paper stacks,
Bet you think that my world's gonna stop if there ain't no we,
You can say what you want but it don't mean shit to me,
'Cause I've been down to the bottom of the barrel,
I've been to the bottom of the lick,
I've been to the bottom with the devil,
Yeah, I've been through the fire, so I just can't feel the pain,
'Cause I've been down to the bottom of the barrel,
I've been to the bottom of the lick,
I've been to the bottom with the devil,
Yeah, I've been through the fire, so I just can't feel the pain,
I keep it drippin' like morphine,
Hanging on a curtain...curtain, curtain
swinging like a clock, clock, clock
Big hand on the seven, seven, seven
the little hand on top top top
You said you like to hear me talk, talk
You told me not to stop, You told me not to stop
You said you like to hear me talk, talk
You told me not to stop, You told me not to stop
Little red feet with big blue toes,
let me put my hands inside your clothes
Little red feet with big blue toes,
let me put my hands inside your clothes
Cute button like pointy little teeth
Oh...Don't bite please! Don't bite please.
Cute button like pointy little teeth
Oh...Don't bite please!
Little red feet with big blue toes,
let me put my hands inside your clothes
Hanging on a curtain...curtain, curtain
swinging like a clock, clock, clock
Big hand on the seven, seven, seven
the little hand on top top top
You said you like to hear me talk, talk
You told me not to stop, You told me not to stop
Just like morphine
the more I laugh
the more I bleed
my bloody hands can still hold what I believe
these bullets on the sky, make my eyes shine.
we`re still so fucking wounded, I`m paying to stay alive...
every stain on this warpath makes my lure to get saved from myself.
all these corpses are just endorsed by the pain I felt
I wish I had something more than just wait for my death
nothing like day after day to fill these cloudy nights
my lungs are empty again, we all grew up without a thing to say
another day has gone and another joke in my face.
I saw you come as I`ll watch you go
