goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
I still can remember the way that you smiled
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Well, You've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.;
What can I do for You?
Well, you're on your own, you always were,;
In a land of wolves and thieves.
I finally realize there's no room for regret
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
You don't want a love that's pure;
You wanna drown love;
You want a watered-down love
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime;
Or is it just solid rock?
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
A saxophone someplace far off played
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Yes, I see you on your window ledge;
But I can't tell just how far away you are from the edge
Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me 'til everything gets real;
Rock me for a little while, rock me 'til there's nothing left to feel;
And I'll rock you too
Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.
May you always know the truth;
And see the lights surrounding you.
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
Time is all I have to give
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
The sun's not yellow it's chicken
Guess it's too late to say the things to you;
That you needed to hear me say.
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.
Because something is happening here;
But you don't know what it is;
Do you, Mister Jones?
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting;
That's hanging in the Louvre
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
time is running backwards
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',;
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
She knows where I'd like to be;
But it doesn't matter.
In the hills of mystery,;
In the foggy web of destiny,;
You can have what's left of me,;
Where we were born in time.
Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
Temptation's not an easy thing
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain;
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.
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.
I can smile in the face of mankind.;
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine;
Most of the time.
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Whatever you gonna do,;
Please do it fast.
Without freedom of speech, I might be in the swamp.
