my true love drowned in a dirty old pan

of oil that did run from the block

of a falcon sedan 1969

the paper said '75

there were no survivors

none found alive

 

trees break the sidewalk

and the sidewalk skins my knees

there's glass in my thermos

and blood on my jeans

nickels and dimes of the fourth of july

roll off in a crooked line

to the chain-link lots where the red tails dive

oh how i forgot what it's like

 

hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs

moves like she runs

hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs

moves like she runs

hey there there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight

round the town tonight

hey there there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight

round the town tonight

 

hey pretty baby get high with me,

we can go to my sister's if we say we'll watch the baby

the look on your face yanks my neck on the chain

and i would do anything (i would do anything)

to see you again

 

so i've fallen behind

 

hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs

moves like she runs

hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs

moves like she runs

hey there there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight

round the town tonight

hey there there's such tender wolves 'round town tonight

round the town tonight

 

go on, go on scream and cry

you're miles from where anyone will find you

this is nothing new, no television crew

they don't even put on the sirens

my nightgown sweeps the pavement

please don't let him die

 

oh how i forgot...

It's summertime - and I can understand if you

Still feel - sad -

It's summertime and though it's hard to see its true

possibilities -

 

When you look inside - all you'll see

When you look inside - all you'll see

Is a self-reflected inner sadness -

Look outside - I know that you'll

Recognize it's summertime

John's got a sausage

That'll make you fart

John's got a sausage

That'll break

Your heart

Make you fart

And break your heart

Don't bend over

If you are smart

:lol

Yeah, but that's NOT why I picked Mr. Heartbreak as a handle!

 

And sure enough,Joe dreams up a few of those guitar notes that every executive despises...those low ones...every exec knows it's only the records with the high-squeally ones that get to be hits...except for Duane Eddy)

:cheers

You guys sure can pick 'em.

Don't they love you in mysterious ways?

You say 'Yeah, this is now and that was then.'

Put a dollar into the machine

And you'll remember when

 

I know when everything feels wrong

I've got some hard, hard proof in this song

I'll know when everything feels right

Some lucky night

Some lucky night

 

Say the money just ain't what it used to be

Man how we used to tear apart this town

Put a dollar into the machine

And you'll remember how

 

I know when everything feels wrong

I've got some hard, hard proof in this song

I'll know when everything feels right

Some lucky night

Some lucky night

Some lucky night...

On the road again

Just can't wait to get on the road again

The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again

Goin' places that I've never been

Seein' things that I may never see again,

And I can't wait to get on the road again.

 

On the road again

Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway

We're the best of friends

Insisting that the world be turnin' our way

And our way

Is on the road again

Just can't wait to get on the road again

The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again

Well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun

With that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons

And when you look up at the sky

All you see are zeros

All you see are zeros and ones

 

You took my hand and led me down to watch a kewpie doll parade

We let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

It's not that I just didn't care I must admit I was afraid

And I'm awfully glad my finger's resting gently on the masterfade

 

The masterfade

I coulda played along

The masterfade

I coulda played Mah Jongg

But it just takes too long

And I just can't remember

Which way the east wind blows does it matter?

If we're all matter

What's it matter does it matter

If we're all matter when we're done?

When the sky is full of zeros and ones

 

I saw you standing all alone in the electrostatic rain

I thought at last I'd found a situation you can't explain

With GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees

Your happiness won't find you underneath that canopy of trees

 

If the green grass is 6 the soybeans are 7

The junebugs are 8 the weeds and thistles are 11

And if the 1s just hold their place the 0s make a smiley face

When they come floating down from the heavens

 

You took my hand and led me down to watch a papillon parade

We let the kittens lick our hair and drank our chalky lemonade

You squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid

'cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade

 

The masterfade

I coulda played along

The masterfade

I coulda played Mah Jongg

But it just takes too long

And who the hell can remember

Which way the east wind blows

When you're lying on the ground

Staring up at an inverted compass

I mean Christ who Knows?

Speed along the highway,

Honey, i want it my way.

But listen to her daddy's song,

Don't stay out too long.

Oo, we're just busy hiding,

Sitting in the back seat of my car.

 

Looking for a ride and all about,

Looking for a ride in and out of town,

Strolling around and all about,

Looking for a ride in and out of...

 

The laser lights are pretty,

We may end up in mexico city.

But listen to her daddy's song,

Making love is wrong.

Oo, we're just busy riding,

Sitting in the back seat of my car.

 

Oh,oh,....

Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah,

Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah.

For we was only hiding,

Sitting in the back seat of my car.

 

Yeah.

 

And when we finished driving,

We can say we were late in arriving.

And listen to her daddy's song,

We believe that we can't be wrong, yeah!

 

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,

We can make it to mexico city,

Sitting in the back seat of my car.

Oh,oh,...

 

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,

No, no, no, ...

We believe we can't be wrong,

Yeah! yeah! yeah!

Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

Yeah there's this girl I'm thinking of

But she don't think of me like I think of her

And there's this girl I'm thinking

And sometimes I don't think she thinks of me at all

And my friends say I'm acting like a fool

They say this girl ain't she half the jewel I think she is

But when I look at her all I see is

Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect teeth, and her red-wine lips

She's got crazy burnin' hips running down her sides

And oh no she doesn't know I'm alive

I see her on the bus, and I try to think of something for us to discuss

My tongue is tied, my mouth is dry, it's a scene I die when I try describe

All these nights when I try to fall asleep,

She takes up 150,000 sheep. What am I gonna do?

Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect teeth, and her red-wine lips

She's got crazy burnin' hips running down her sides

and oh no she doesn't know I'm alive

everybody chokes

when they see someone cut down in their prime

it may not show when you look at me

but I know I'm in mine

I'm potent, baby, I'm potent

dangerous to the naked eye

rest your head on this bed of mother's pride

and find out why

don't you wanna take me home?

don't you wanna take me home?

give me a sense of purpose

a real sense of purpose now

give me a sense of purpose

a real sense of purpose now

bully boys don't bother me

I purse my lips and they run away

guys like you who are gentle and true

don't come around here everyday

I'm potent, baby, I'm potent

just one swing of me would get most guys smashed

but a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerve

I guess I'm outclassed

everybody chokes

when they see someone cut down in their prime

take this plea to your heart

- lift me in mine

don't you wanna take me home?

don't you wanna take me home?

give me a sense of purpose

a real sense of purpose now

give me a sense of purpose

a real sense of purpose now

give me a sense of purpose

a real sense of purpose now

give me a sense of purpose

a real sense of purpose now

Where are you going I dont mind

Ive killed my world and Ive killed my time

So where do I go what do I see

I see many people coming after me

So where are you going to I dont mind

If I live too long Im afraid Ill die

So I will follow you wherever you go

If your offered hand is still open to me

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

So youve been where Ive just come

From the land that brings losers on

So we will share this road we walk

And mind our mouths and beware our talk

till peace we find tell you what Ill do

All the things I own I will share with you

If I feel tomorrow like I feel today

Well take what we want and give the rest away

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

Holy man and holy priest

This love of life makes me weak at my knees

And when we get there make your play

cos soon I feel youre gonna carry us away

In a promised lie you made us believe

For many men there is so much grief

And my mind is proud but it aches with rage

And if I live too long Im afraid Ill die

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two we are one

Hammer and a nail

Hammer and a nail

Saint behind the glass

Holds a hammer and a nail

 

Baby in his arms

Baby in his arms

Saint behind the glass

Has a baby in his arms

 

Watches me sleep

Watches me sleep

Saint behind the glass

Watches me while I sleep

 

Coffee in the air

Coffee in the air

Saint behind the glass

Smells coffee in the air

 

Curtains blowing 'round

Curtains blowing 'round

Saint behind the glass

Sees the curtains blowing 'round

 

Night upon my head

Night upon my head

Saint behind the glass

Lays night upon my head

 

Mother don't cry

Mother don't cry

Saint behind the glass

Tells mother not to cry

I'm floating with the birds

I'm talking to the weeds

Look what you've done to me

 

I'm still dressed up from the night before

Silken hose and an old Parisian coat

And I feel like a queen at the bus stop on the street

Look what you've done to me

 

It's a beautiful morning in the ghetto

Finer than the day before

The ants are crawling over my pants as if to say

They know where the honey is

 

There's really old roses blooming in the ghetto

Birds of paradise are taller than me

The weeds grow high, the birds flicker by

Children are walking to school

 

In the midst of all of this profusion

The bus pulls up to take me back home

The bus driver looks like an African prince

The babies have tears in their eyes

 

And I feel like a queen

On this sunny city bus

Look what you've done to me

Well, you ask me if I'll forget my baby

I guess I will some day

I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

 

You ask me if I'll get along

I guess I will some way

I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

 

God gave me that girl to lean on,

Then he put me on my own

Heaven help me be a man

And have the strength to stand alone

I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

 

You ask me if I'll miss her kisses

I guess I will every day

I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

 

You ask me if I'll find another

I don't know, I can't say

I don't like it but I guess things happen that way

 

God gave me that girl to lean on,

Then he put me on my own

Heaven help me be a man

And have the strength to stand alone

The city lights lead the way to paradise tonight

They're all there waitin' for me on a shelf as big as life

So tell me why it ain't right

It's the one true thing that keeps me high

 

"It'll kill ya, just get tougher."

No one said it was easy...

Being a drunkard

 

An ice cold beer tastes nice

I got wiskey in the van

Just wanna have a little bit a fun while I'm young and I still can

Just zip your lips and listen close

It's my life and it's my choice

 

"It'll kill ya, just get tougher."

No one said it was easy...

Being a drunkard

 

I sit and stare at the neon

I've got my buddies to lean on

We'll drink to our bad health

 

Some folks can't take it

I ain't one

Ain't that right

We'll need it

If only for tonight

 

So open up and knock em' down

Let's all get drunk and tear up the town

 

"It'll kill ya, just get tougher."

No one said it was easy...

Being a drunkard

Being a drunkard

Being a drunkard

I feel good

I feel bad

I feel happy

I feel sad

Am I in love?

I must be in love

I feel rich

I feel poor

I'm in doubt

I feel sure

Am I in love?

I must be in love

 

Anytime of the day I can see

her face when I close my eyes

Wooo!

 

She's a dream

She is real

Can't explain

how I feel

Am I in love?

I must be in love

 

Am I dead

or alive?

Can my poor heart

survive?

Am I in love?

I must be in love

Oh baby why

Do I miss you like I do

Oh miss my sweet

And the birds all singing blue

And why

And why

 

Call me on your way back home, dear

Cause I miss you

Honey, I ain't nothing new.

 

Oh baby why

Did I treat you like I did

Honey, I was just a kid

Bubblegum on my shoe

 

But you loved me

And I loved you

 

Call me on your way back home, dear

Cause I miss you

And I just want to die without you

Oh I just want to die without you

Yeah I just want to die without you

Without you

Honey, I ain't nothing new.

I'm not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

The day is done

But I'm having fun

 

I think I'm dumb

or maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy

my heart is broke

But I have some glue

help me inhale

And mend it with you

We'll float around

And hang out on clouds

Then we'll come down

And I have a hangover...Have a hangover

 

Skin the sun

Falkl asleep

Wish away

The soul is cheap

Lesson learned

Wish me luck

Soothe the burn

Wake me up

 

I'm not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

The day is done

Oh, how is it that I could come out to you,

And be still floatin',

And never hit bottom but keep falling through,

Just relaxed and paying attention?

 

All my two-dimensional boundaries were gone,

I had lost to them badly,

I saw that world crumble and thought I was dead,

But I found my senses still working.

 

And as I continued to drop through the hole,

I found all surrounding,

To show me that joy innocently is,

Just be quiet and feel it around you.

 

And I opened my heart to the whole universe,

And I found it was loving,

And I saw the great blunder my teachers had made,

Scientific delirium madness.

 

I will keep falling as long as I live,

Ah, without ending,

And I will remember the place that is now,

That has ended before the beginning ...

 

Oh, how is it that I could come out to you,

And be still floatin',

And never hit bottom but keep falling through,

Just relaxed and paying attention?

I wonder who they are

The men who really run this land

And I wonder why they run it

With such a thoughtless hand

What are their names

And on what streets do they live

I'd like to ride right over

This afternoon and give

Them a piece of my mind

About peace for mankind

Peace is not an awful lot to ask..

The curtain rises on the scene

With someone shouting to be free

The play unfolds before my eyes

There stands the actor who is me

 

The sleeping hours takes us far

From traffic, telephones and fear

Put out your problems with the cat

Escape until a bell you hear

 

Our reasons are the same

But theres no-one we can blame

For theres nowhere we need go

And the only truth we know comes so easily

 

The sound I have heard in your hello

Oh, oh, darling, youre almost part of me

Oh, oh, darling, youre all Ill ever see

Ah, ah, ah

 

Its such a rainy afternoon

No point in going anywhere

The sounds just drift across my room

I wish this feeling I could share

 

Its such a rainy afternoon

She sits and gazes from her window

Her mind tries to recall his face

The feeling deep inside her grows

 

Our reasons are the same

But theres no-one we can blame

For theres nowhere we need go

And the only truth we know comes so easily

 

The sound I have heard in your hello

Oh, oh, darling, youre almost part of me

Oh, oh, darling, youre all Ill ever see

The sound I have heard in your hello

Oh, oh, darling, youre all Ill ever see

Oh, oh, darling, youre almost part of me

I'm riding down Kingsley,

figuring I'll get a drink

Turn the radio up loud,

so I don't have to think,

I take her to the floor,

looking for a moment when the world

seems right,

And I tear into the guts,

of something in the night.

 

You're born with nothing,

and better off that way,

Soon as you've got something they send

someone to try and take it away,

You can ride this road 'till dawn,

without another human being in sight,

Just kids wasted on

something in the night.

 

Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,

when it's your last time around,

I got stuff running 'round my head

That I just can't live down

 

When we found the things we loved,

They were crushed and dying in the dirt.

We tried to pick up the pieces,

And get away without getting hurt,

But they caught us at the state line,

And burned our cars in one last fight,

And left us running burned and blind,
