In the morning there's a feeling. As I free my eyes of sleep. And think only of him running. To the promise he must keep. . Such a love I've never known.
Got a penny in my pocket. And a dollar in my hand. But I'll drop it in your tin cup. Cause you were a one man band. If I could make a million. On some TV show.
Well I could have been sick. I could have died. I could have given up. And not tried. To make it to tomorrow. Like a brokenhearted lover. . But there was a brand new start.
Lipstick and lashes, the traces of stardom. Lit up on a billboard so everyone sees them in neon. Behind the counter she stares out the window. Up at the billboard that's like a reminder in neon.
Torn from their families. Mothers go hungry. To feed their children. But children go hungry. . There's so many big men. They're out making millions. When poverty's profits.
If you were me and I was you. If you had to play my part out, what would you do?. Two crazy stories, two different views. If you were me and I was you.
Torn from their families. Mothers go hungry. To feed their children. But children go hungry. . There's so many big men. They're out making millions. When poverty's profits.
Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. . I don't know what to say. I don't know where the light shines. It's a gray dawn risin' on a green hill. And there's so much behind us.

I knew from the first night I met you. Something just wasn't quite right. Looked like an innocent stranger. But something was just out of sight. . How could I know that you would use me.
He was a light star. Tripping on a high wire. Bulldog stubborn, born uneven. A classless creature, a man for all seasons. But don't bet them. They can't take him.
I can see by your eyes you must be lying. When you think I don't have a clue.. Baby you're crazy. If you think that you can fool me,. Because I've seen that movie too..
Tune in, wouldn't it be something. Rumors spreading into panic. I've seen movements in the clearing. Someone sent you something satanic. . I have to leave you, radar's calling.
I've Got 2 Wings. I am the elder Utah Smith. I've got two wings to fly. They may be made of paper. They may never reach the sky. But I believe in mercy.
I didn't mean to hurt you. You know, it's just my way. Those things that I said yesterday. Were things I shouldn't say. . Although you're blue. Just one thing I want you to do.
Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet. I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet. . I'll be yours to have and to hold. Darling you've got full control of your puppet.
You could never know what it's like. Your blood like winter freezes just like ice. And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you. You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use.
Written by Leonard Cohen. . If you want a lover. I'll do anything you ask me to. And if you want another kind of love. I'll wear a mask for you. If you want a partner, hold my hand.
Well, there's slim times when my words won't rhyme. And the hills I face are a long hard climb. I just sit cross-legged with my old guitar. It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star.
I want love, but it's impossible. A man like me, so irresponsible. A man like me is dead in places. Other men feel liberated. I can't love, shot full of holes.
