I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath;
But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
I'm in the streets;
With the tombstone blues
Time passes slowly when you're lost in a dream.
your pleasure knows no limits
At dawn my lover comes to me;
And tells me of her dreams;
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse;
Into the ditch of what each one means
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
Lost time is not found again
They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
If you're lookin' to get silly;
You better go back to from where you came
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
All the tired horses in the sun;
How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
She once was a true love of mine
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
And you never ask questions;
When God's on your side.
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
