You are a nothing and deceased. You ain't alive at all. Don't try to be sensible. I'll bang your head on the wall. . I got no time to be locked in. I'm a dangerous son.
A voice in the back - the lies and the fears. No colour but black - the truth disappears. . Just by the look in your eyes I can tell. That your honour is gone - you're caught in confusion and pain.
Listen to me - this is a warning. You have to wake up out of this dream. Don't be a member of this lifestyle, please. I hear the beat of your heart. .
I must have been through about a million girls. I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone. I didn't care how much they cried, no sir. Their tears left me cold as a stone.
I grew up in a flower box. They filled my soil with some nasty rocks. I couldn't grow strong, barely grew at all. It's hard to dream big in a world that's small.
Focus a moment. On the message sent. The anthem of a generation. Based on degradation and resent. . Where money and power. And being the man of the hour.
Got on the 47, transferred to the 89 left town eastbound past all the city. signs and y'know it's hard to leave, your past behind and as I pass the crummy.
I could see it was a rough cut Tuesday. Slow motion weekdays stare me down. Her lipstick reflex got me wound. There were no defects to be found. Snap shot and it froze without a sound.
Frustration that I've been facing. I don't remember how but I've lost motivation. I can't stop this sinking feeling from creeping over me. I can't stop myself from seeing the darkness in front of me.
And I. I wonder if you'd understand. If I said I'll never go. Never go along again,. And if I told you all that I believe in. And gave you all my reasons.
I've tried and I fell. And I'm tired and weary. Everything I've done is wrong. And I feel like going home. . Lord, I tried to see you through. But it was too much for me.
Will you crash the engine of our ruin?. Who'll spill the flat cars of our shame?. . I'm beat up tired from always doin',. What I shoulda done in the first place..
Findlay was on his last legs. But he made the rules. Said suffer fools gladly. But never end up as the sufferin' fool. . He shook me down. Though it was my first week on the job.
Come back in the winter, won't steal away too long. And when I'm back I'll set it all ablaze. Got Jesus in my pocket and matches in my coat. I won't have to work alone this time.
The city's shiverin'. Shivers in the heat. That we call summertime. And I'm deliverin'. The one piece of the puzzle. That you could not find. . Follow me an angel.
Streaks of light. On the graveyard walk. Your bright star was crashin'. Crashin' the dark. Dreamed of a cold night. To freeze it in place. Dreamed of ship bells and thunder.
Bang out the night song. on an old kettle drum. don't ask for no ransom. ain't payin you none. ground to a halt. with suspicion for all. you say "watch me fly".
Every night before. I go to sleep. I find a ticket. And I win a lottery. . I scoop them pearls up. From the sea. I cash them in and buy you. All the things you need.
I can still remember. the coat I wore that day. yellow as a plastic moon. with a weave as thick as chains. walkin' past the sideshow tents. drunker than we knew.
