They gave me doses of dioxide. Started coughing constantly. Nursed inside my wounded pride. Poisoned arrow in my knee. Then they stood around my bed. Said I was getting on famously.
Lord I swear the perfume you wear. Was made out of turnip greens. And every time I kiss you girl. It tastes like pork and beans. . Even though you're wearin' them.
In an office two miles underground. They can't tell night from day. Secretaries typing errors of judgement. In eternally full in-trays. Phones ring in, get put on hold.
I wait for sundown on the fire escape. And watch the passing cars downstairs. I'm high above Korean groceries. A sublet castle in the air. . It's down to cigarettes and rosaries.
You tell me to be strong. You tell me to be strong. Goodbye ain't no reason to cry. It aint no big deal. You say I'll get along. Sure I'll get along. You're so nonchalant.
No guardian angel looking down on me tonight. I'm on the streets again. And I can't tell wrong from right. I'm on the run from love. . But I don't know what I'm running for.
You always give me something. To help me understand. Turn those tracks around me, one more time. But all you give, is killing me. . I can't turn around.
I looked over my shoulder. Straight into your eyes. As you stood in my shadow. In some loud disguise. You were lookin' straight through me. Like a piece of glass.
do you remember the man?. standing in front of the tanks that. rolled on tianamin square. he just stood there. . I heard the Red Guard went door to door and.
How can I sleep at night with all the things I said?. How can I sleep at night when the evidence is read?. How can I sleep at night when the world is turning red?.
I took to the good times. Took a shot at the easy way. Saw life as a place in line. Just another show to play. . But when the facts were known. I saw a never ending road.
Hey, all of you women. Don't gather around. Unless you weigh. Over four hundred pounds. If you don't weigh that, baby. Don't come around at all. . 'Cos you've gotta be.
I read the letter through a haze of alcohol. A close encounter with the weak and pitiful. Although my conscience said "she's absolutely right". The thought was buried in the blindness of the night.
We've had it good for years now. Don't let that change. We've never needed answers. To find the way. . Now all of a sudden. Like waves on a beach. Love has come crashing down.
The minutes are slipping away as we say our last goodbye. Bid the world a fond farewell. We'll share in a final embracement. When the lights begin to fade it's a tale they had to tell.
There is a face deep in your mind. One that your heart won't leave behind. Memories are cold, empty of laughs. And all that remain are photographs. . When she's gone there are no reasons.
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'. Dreamin', love will be mine. Searchin', I'm always searchin'. Hopin' someday I'll find. . Someone, someone to love me. Someone to need me but until then.
If I had a girl that loved me. Just as much as she loves you. I'd stay in her arms every doggone day. And never would be untrue. . You can't win. (You can't win).
