I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels;
Trying to peel the moon and expose it
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
She knows there's no success like failure;
And that failure's no success at all.
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
But does anyone hear the music they play
Does anyone even try?
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
People on the platforms;
Waiting for the trains;
I can hear their hearts a-beatin';
Like pendulums swinging on chains
A saxophone someplace far off played
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain?
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in;
Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Turn your back, wash your hands,;
There's always someone who understands
Heart of mine be still,;
You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
What looks large from a distance,;
Close up ain't never that big.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
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.
