People check to tell me. What they think is right. I don't listen to them. Don't know day from night. . I'll go through life searchin'. Tryin' to find the one.
It's getting cold. Thought it was too soon to tell but it was terribly old and as the heartbeat slows to a heartless crawl. The lights went out,. The lights went out and darkness filled the house on tiring night under a Long Island sky.
Butter on a summer day when she's around. I was on the tracks when the gates came down. And suddenly I recognized those bloodshot rearview mirror eyes as mine.
I thought maybe we'd made a pact,. But you gave into foul temptations making all the. Wrong moves and the wrong decisions. Making lies up for all the right questions.
Quit surrounding me. i'm already down and gone. locked defeat. got your eyes pealed. the only thing holding me are. why won't you quit. dragging me around.
My friend,. You're always the last one to leave. Those dimly lit rooms.. Making sure the last glass makes its way to the table empty.. And every bottle in the place.
I heard the TV and it told me. I shouldn't grieve. There is something more. If you believe in god's love. . But I've seen too many scenes. In which the people are lawful to their needs.
I used to watch him every night. Under his piano light. With scores laid out like secret charts. String and reed and trumpet parts. . I, tucked in tight beneath the sheets.
Two tickets, Merry-go-riding. I gotta see in the paper today. Who missed it somebody's lyin'. We're gettin' nowhere tellin' a tale. Questioned, till it make 'em bleed.
Sit down, escape your lonely day. My treat, the love is on me. You seem so tired, but I'm understanding. So tell your story.. . You stumble but it's alright.
I hope you know what we both know you're doing. Abusing and tearing apart. Unaware or carelessly you leavin you weavin lines of broken hearts. Unfortunately.
I might be stupid to think I could. Buy you dinner when some better man should. But here goes my manhood. So we order food I can't afford. You look so perfect.
All of the signs point. All of the voices inside your head. Are speaking phrases coined. By those who say things I've never said. . All of the cars drive.
Do you remember when. The world seemed oh so young. We were so self-assured. No-one could ever come between us. . Remember stepping out. Behind the high school, cutting class.
This is just a song to say. That I'm proud for what they are. And I hope my world can take me. Half that far. . Way back in Mccarthy's day. My parents left the USA.
Memories of when I was a little boy, four years old,. Waiting for my daddy to come home,. And now I look into the eyes of my own son,. Wondering what he's thinking of,.
You avoid your daddy's disapproving eyes. Your silence hurts like a lover's lie. Your mama walks such a fragile line. . The tears will love, but you don't cry.
Once upon a good time on this very day. Somewhere in another universe. A band got in a van and drove for miles on end. They just this minute got here with no time to rehearse.
Alien identities don't hide your pretty face from me,. You awoke to the riddle of your life but no-one was there for you,. Open to where you first began as a nicotine junkie, singing for a kodacam,.
So I lay my head to rest. All alone it seams. There my guide is waiting. In a world of dreams.
