Hear the lonesome whippoorwill. He sounds too blue to fly. The midnight train is whining low. I'm so lonesome, I could cry. . I've never seen a night so long.
Little fly, your summers play. My thoughtless hand. Has brushed away. And ended your day. . Am I not a fly like you?. Are you not a man like me?. Oh, I dance and drink and sing.
I wish the war was on,. I know this sounds strange to you.. I miss the war-time life,. anything could happen then:. around a corner, behind a door.. .
I wanna be Elvis, I wanna be Dean. I wanna be Elvis in the cool machine. I wanna be Elvis back in '55. Singing 'Mystery Train' in a Memphis dive. . I wanna be Elvis, I wanna be Dean.
I was standing on the edge of it. I was looking down, I was getting sick. But you were sitting on the shore. Looking beautiful and bored. . So I took a step and I felt the air.
Well, I've got somethin' to say to you, yes, I do. Are you lonely girl, are you feelin' blue?. . Don't you know that it's you?. It's you that I want. It's you that I need to love.
Once upon a time. When the world was all mine. Mom and Dad were near. Calming every little fear. Monsters lived at night. Faces hidden in the light. .
I'm gonna run. run away. Yes I'm gonna run. run far. I'm gonna run to where they can't find me. maybe down to New Orleans. I'm gonna run. Yes I'm gonna run.
Answers can come too late. And time is not one to wait. I no longer believe. . Feelings of deep despair. I tell myself I don't care. It wasn't meant to be.
Oh, send me off to war with a gun in my hand. But I won't pull the trigger. Out destiny is here 'neath the red, white and blue. So lead me to the slaughter.
I just found out some things I thought of you. I never dreamed that they were true. I just found out that you were leavin' me. I never dreamed that it would be.
Well, they dragged me from the party, kicking and screaming,. Clawing at the carpet, chewing up the scenery. and talking to my friends with no regard for decency..
It keeps me up at night.. I'm not certain I was right.. I'm consumed by what might have been. Again and again and again.. . And now the sky is turning black..
Well, I'm a born disciple.. But I'm inherently suspicious. Of anything and everything I love.. I'm coherent to a fault,. So I'm always looking for ways.
Another song about same lady. Tell your best friends how you've grown. Now you never see the old familiar places. All the nice men you have known. . How you've never been the loser.
By now I should've known better,. But it's all just a matter of time,. Remember one day you told me,. You were never mine.. . It was a game of temptation,.
