Theres somethin' about you. Looks different now. These rhymes and riddles I can't figure out. Well, you smile and then you cry. And lady I cant tell. .
Oh the neon lights were flashin' and the icy wind did blow. The water seeped into his shoes and the drizzle turned to snow. His eyes were red, his hopes were dead and the wine was runnin' low.
With a lady like devotion. She sails the bitter ocean. If it wasn't for lovesick sailors. There'd be nothin' left but flotsam. . Singin' why, oh my, is there a better man than I?.
When I walk the hill so high. Around the town where I was born. New York seems so far away. Though I was there just yesterday. . I have played on my guitar.
Hey you, upon this ship of fools. I have found you bending your own rules. Thank you, I don't mind if I do. Dream a while of the lovin' that we knew. .
In this land of chance do we know right from wrong. Even at a glance we know the road is long. We don't owe a single thing to anyone. . Most of us do not believe in come what may.
I'm not afraid that when I'm dying. There'll be no one to hold my hand. If there's a God up there, he loves me. As much as my old woman can. . I don't intend to be a martyr.
I go in for singing, I do it for my pay. But the kind of gig I can really dig is swiggin' at the break of day. With a few good friends and neighbors into playin' the nighttime tunes.
A step apart, I don't fit In with my peers, but I don't give a shit Laughed at in the streets of my town Their laughter hurts, but I'll hold my ground.
When you're on your high horse. and things are going your way. you really don't appreciate. what you wanted bad yesterday.. But if i lost it-. I'd still be the same.
Smashed your head against the wall. Treatment comforts temporarily. Chastise yourself extremely. To neutralize the chronic pains. Auto mutilation dwells deep in your soul.
I go out most nights. Attracted by the lights. Listen to the jazz in Harry's Bar. And I know it won't be long. Before they play that song. Do you know how wonderful you are.
And as it gets dark in this house of hallways. And no corridor leads to the stairs. With still wet black paint on all the windows. We got no clocks 'cause time don't care here.
Let's get to the point and all take our tongues out. And not show off our scars, not leave here with doubts. That things in life, well, they could have been easier.
Where did you go?. How will I know. If you hear me out. I need this now. Watching as the leaves fall down. The colors where we use to run and play. Another years flown by I feel.
When the liars build their castles out of me. we all say that we're alive and free. my disposition makes me wonder "what's for me?". and you'll never get ahead with honesty.
I've thought it through & I think you're right. And you're not missing much. There's something pure. That you can't hold against a simple touch. So many choices and the pressure.
look at what you've left for me. Now that you've moved on. Won pass for therapy. Just one more scar that's never gone. You tried to break me down. Time and time again.

These houses shuttered tight against the night. Watching fireworks on the roof. With a different girl every time. I'm telling you this and my jaw aches.
