Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Satan whispers to ya, "Well, I don't want to bore ya,;
But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another woman for ya."
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style
Well, they're not showing any lights tonight;
And there's no moon.
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
I still can remember the way that you smiled
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,;
He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
You should be made;
To wear earphones
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
My love she speaks like silence
You're the one I adore, come over here and give me more
When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode.
You think you can hide but you're never alone,;
Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,;
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,;
And all your ragin' glory.
