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
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
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
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)
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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)
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
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
