What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Your cracked country lips,;
I still wish to kiss,;
As to be under the strength of your skin.
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,;
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
For I know that you know that I know that you know;
Something is tearing up your mind.
I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
You can pound on the President's gate;
But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
Democracy don't rule the world,;
You'd better get that in your head.;
This world is ruled by violence;
But I guess that's better left unsaid.
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag;
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag;
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
She once was a true love of mine
Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you
We're idiots, babe.;
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
For the loser now;
Will be later to win
She says, "What'll it be?";
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Gonna sleep down in the parlor;
And relive my dreams
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
Go 'way from my window,;
Leave at your own chosen speed.
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
The night is pitch black, come an' make my;
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
don't criticize;
what you can't understand.
