Wallflower, wallflower;
Take a chance on me.;
Please let me ride you home.
She once was a true love of mine
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
My love she speaks like silence
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past;
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Go melt back into the night, babe,;
Everything inside is made of stone.;
There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
When I'm all alone;
In the great unknown,;
I'll remember you.
I just can't fit;
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
The world of illusion is at my door
the cops don't need you;
and man they expect the same
It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers;
Who've lost all ray of hope,;
You know, it ain't even safe no more;
In the palace of the Pope.
Your magnetic movements;
Still capture the minutes I'm in.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex,;
It didn't amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around;
Some on their way up, some on their way down
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
