Like a bird on a wire. Like a drunk in a midnight choir. I've tried in my way to be free. . Like a worm on a hook. Like a knight in an old fashioned book.
Once upon a time not so long ago. This boy he took to the stage. He wandered around like a travelling show. But one thing filled him with rage. While singing the song that thawed his heart.
My life has been a total wreck. Nothing changes for the best. People who cared have left me. Broken, Beaten. And Bruised. . Time has taken its toll. Nothing left to change it all.
Been a long night. The smell of burned roses. Send back up shivers. To the rattling knees. Bam, bam, bam. . Send her away. The scars all tingle. A danger message.
The sounds of beating hearts so anxious. A sacred rhythm pulsing with desire. The time we spend alone it saves us. The things we learn in solitude inspire.
Waiting in Penn station she is treading pins and needles. A balloon against the ceiling blows around. Rolling up the Hudson with her face against the window.
All your beauty is hard to explain, dancing shadows and light on your face. Every kiss in the world wouldn't make you feel better. What a pity to paint in your lines.
All those girls meant nothing to me. All those girls meant nothing to me. . I'm crawling on my hands and my knees. Won't you please take me back?. I'm crawling on my hands and my knees.
She's a home-grown, natural-born girl next door. Never ever ever wanted anything any more. Than somebody who would love her. Just as much as she was gonna love him.
It's the same old story all over the world. From Bangkok to Birmingham, boy meets girl. He's a wild seed, got hell to raise. She's about to put him in his place.
Don't know where to turn feel defeated. I'm lost without you I'm falling apart. It's like love left your heart when I need it, yea. I wish I could be where you are.
You tried to punish me, crush my dream, discourage me. Refuse to stand here and let you walk all over me. I gave my blood my soul, didn't know it was foretold.
Wasted time in your arms, better off on my own. Sitting 'round lookin' dumb, while you're out havin' fun. Better off on my own. . Felt like something is wrong, turned around you were gone.
By the time I get to Phoenix. She'll be rising. She'll find the note. I left hanging on her door. . She'll laugh when she reads the part. That says I'm leaving.
When you're weary feeling small. When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all. I'm on your side when times get rough. And friends just can't be found.
Ah look down look down that lonesome road before you travel travel on. Look up look up and seek your maker before Gabriel blows his horn. Now I'm weary totin' such a load travelin' down that lonesome road.
If he brings you happiness then I wish you both the best. It's your happiness that matters most of all. But if he ever breaks your heart if the teardrops ever start.
I'm back in baby's arms how I've missed those loving arms. I'm back where I belong back in baby's arms. . Don't know why we quarrel we never did before.
Baby, hear me callin' baby, come over here and love me. Hold your lovin' body close to mine. Crazy you're drivin' me crazy, maybe you don't mean to. But you never know what's goin' on in a woman's mind.
speaking of the truth, i like to hear that once in a while. and i'll even listen to all your vanity. utter lies are like butterflies. they just both die in a couple of days.
