When I wake and the sky seems to break. And the bang in my head is my heart just trying to keep me alive. Then I rise and the room starts to shake. And I'm walking on glass, trying to remember.
you fake yourself from everyone and you cry yourself to sleep.. listen for the phone to ring as you wait impatiently.. if you lose heart take some of mine just for tonight..
Amidst the blood and the bitter scorn. I am your baby, being born. At your window at 6 am. Covered head to toe with vernix, I am. . You are the woman, you give me life.
I am the man from a human choke hold. I am the product of your restraint. Never once did I say no. I watched the years pass by me. My body is scarred by age.
She would meet me in the morning. On my way down to the river. Waiting patient by the chinaberry tree. With her feet already dusty. From the pathway to the levee.
I sell the morning papers sir,. My name is jimmy brown. Everybody knows that I|'m a newsboy of the town. . You will hear me yelling "morning star". As I run along the street.
Bottles flying, women crying. Ceiling sagging, 'bout to fall. Jason Fleming, chasing women. Pickin' fights with one and all. . Now Jason Fleming's quite a man.
Spring of '81 - Summer '82. Streets were full of punks, where the fuck was you?. Fall of '83 - Winter '84. Infiltrated us, tried to take it all. Where were you when I had no bed?.
JUST AS LOST. . WELL NOW MY LIFE IS IN A CRISIS. SOMEHOW I LOST MY WAY. I LEFT MY DREAMS IN THE DISTANCE. SO I STUMBLE OFF TO WORK EACH DAY. . NO ONE SAID IT WOULD BE THIS HARD.
Now you sit there thinking feeling insecure. The mocking court gesture claims there is no proven cure. Go back to your chamber, your eyes upon the wall.
And how's your legs?. Do you use them to walk. All over me?. How's your head?. Does it rise and fall. Intuitively?. . Smoke and pills and wine. Are waiting here for you.
I'm coming' home and I'm drunk again. been on the old jim beam. feels kinda good as the night gets on. all I wanna do is sing. I pick up the old guitar and strum and I play it again.
Violence, wrath and chaos. Blood fills the street. Generals lead their masses. Children at their feet. . Judgment Day. Will the sun refuse to shine. Judgment Day.
There is just one girl I love,. And she is smiling next to me.. Will she come back next week. And spend some time with me?. I never thought that love was real.
So Jesus and Hitler Were in The Backseat. Trying To Make Out. There Tounges Were Twisted And Tied. Around Theri Mouths. I Drove Taxis And Cars Just To Try To Get Out.
Sometimes I go walking,. Sometimes I go wondering,. How could I waste more time?. Laughing at people who worry. Cause time passes by. Has there been a mistake?.
He gambles on the saddle. He's pulling on the mane. He thrashes on the horse's back. Ambition is a bloody game. . Horse doesn't want to jump. The river looks too wide.
[Chorus]. Twist your tiny lies into the truth. Spinning a web with your fantasies. Turn your doubtful eyes back onto you. You're pushing me out with your jealousy.
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah). Theres a little distance, a shadow of resistance. When I begin to dim the lights. . Why the hesitation?. Any reservations?.
Creeky Steps and Ladder. I feel the floor in my cave. Carpet worn to tatters. It look like flowers on an early grave. . And I'd be justified (I would be justified).
