Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn
Has the record been breaking,;
Did the needle just skip
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
My love she speaks like silence
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in;
Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
She said, "Be easy, baby,;
There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint.
I like the cool way you look at me,;
Everything about you is bringing me;
Misery.
Well, I got a harmonica job, begun to play,;
Blowin' my lungs out for a dollar a day.
goodbye's too good a word, gal;
so I'll just say fare thee well
I looked at my watch;
I looked at my wrist;
I punched myself in the face with my fist
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
If the bible is right, the world will explode
We're both just one too many mornings;
An' a thousand miles behind.
And every time you get this close;
It makes me want to scream
I'll remember you;
When the wind blows through the piney wood.
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."
Trees that've stood for a thousand years suddenly will fall.
It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
You lose yourself, you reappear
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
When there is no more,;
You cut to the core;
Quicker than anyone I knew.
