The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
You think you can hide but you're never alone,;
Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
I'm walking through streets that are dead
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,;
If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.;
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
She knows there's no success like failure;
And that failure's no success at all.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe;
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said;
"You look like the silent type."
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Last night I danced with a stranger;
But she just reminded me you were the one
She says, "What'll it be?";
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die
I wish that for just one time;
You could stand inside my shoes;
You'd know what a drag it is;
To see you
This time tomorrow I'll know you better;
When my memory is not so short.
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
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
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
