At midnight my house is ablaze. I feel the heat on my hands and face. In the background of the pictures, my fingers in the fixture. It's time to stop running and race.
The lips I've been watching are yours. You and your mom are talking about lord knows. Dim lights in the kitchen, the TV's so low. The lips I've been watching are moving slowly.
Stand and rise and before your eyes. The lions will appear. And when they do they'll be filling you. With all the lies you will need to hear. . Mr. politician, just keep on dishin'.
Like this. . I've never seen a woman, baby. That looks quite the way you do. The way you shake that thing now, honey. Can't take my eyes off you. . The way you work it, honey.
In a smoky room. Could have been a devil's tomb. Ninety miles east of L.A.. . Feeling desperate and cold. Barely nineteen years old. Searching for the light in the pouring rain.
She's got pizzazz, like a razzmatazz. I'd like to slide it in, when I begin. . Wastes all my money, spends all my time. I ain't got no luck, I can't change her mind.
Yeah, blues. . I won't ask where you're going. If you don't ask where I've been. 'Cause if you're looking for an answer, babe. I wouldn't know where to begin.
So you want to talk about the pain, talk to me, please explain. Maybe I know what you're going through. But you got so much pain to hide, you keep it locked up deep inside.
Well, it's four o'clock in the mornin'. An' I'm knockin' on her door. She said she's tired of me. Don't want me here no more. . She said, "Stop your pissin', moanin' and groanin'.
Yea, yea, yea, see, see. Why don't you stop your teasin'. And stop your old music?. . Come on, come on. Get on your dress and put on a smile. Let's lose this place.
There's an alley cat slowly walkin' down a dirty street. Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat. You got five fingers Johnny stealing everything in sight.
Like this. . All the king's horses. And all the king's men. Ain't got a hope in hell. Of puttin' my pieces back together again. . I've seen things in my life that should never be seen.
I can't say, I ain't been around. That I ain't done my time. Seems like this big old world's. Been one big shoe to shine. . But I never ever took a dime.
I can't say I ain't been around. That I ain't done my time. Seems like this big old world. Has been one big shoe to shine. . But I never ever took a dime.
No way I'm gonna crazy. With you playin' with my mind took. You out to dinner but you left me. Bahind paid for the pleaseure. But I wasted my time. Cause dawn it girl I thought.
The bright lights are calling me. The bright lights are calling me. When the world is dark and cold. And I'm heading down the road. The bright lights are calling me.
On the first day of March it was raining. It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen. Drank ten pints of beer, cursed all the people there.
Thanks and praises, thanks to Jesus. I bet on the bottle of smoke. I went to hell and to the races. To bet on the bottle of smoke. . The day being clear, the sky being bright.
I met with Napper Tandy. And I shook him by the hand. He said, "Hold me up for Chrissake. For I can hardly stand". . The most disgraceful journey. On which I've ever been.
Alligators snap at your ankles. And branches snap at your brain. If I ever get through this swamp alive. I'll nevermore pray for rain. . This must be the place.
