Dont Set Foot Over the Railway track. . Dont set foot over the railway track. The heathens and the spin doctors are waiting round the back. The skies are always sullen and rain races to the tarmac.
Gabardine roses, tortured vines. The sun has been hiding all this time. Thought that I'd see you again somehow. But the dirt is your lover now. . And outside the all night in an orchestra of rain.
You know it's generally known. You got everything at home. Kisses out of desperation. Bring you more aggravation. And you don't come close. You don't come close.
The times are tough now, just getting tougher. This old world is rough and it's just getting rougher. Cover me, come on baby, cover me. Well, I'm looking for a love, come on and cover me.
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles. And the heavens open every time she smiles. And when I come to her, that's where I belong. I'm running to her like a river's song.
Friday's humming summer. And the whiskey sun is running. out the night sky. I am here watching your form. Slowly pacing in the dawn. as all the stars die.
November in a rainstorm, the truest truth I ever heard. The sound of babies crying in a hospital ward. Oh, like a bed of rushes, they spread love out on the concrete floor.
Contessa, Contessa, oh please leave your hat by the door. Well, I thought I told you you couldn't call round anymore. And outside in the street and the rains turning tricks on the day.
She's fingering the petals on her dress. It was another lesson in the rise and fall of holiness. Her hands are shaking and her hair is a mess. Oh, yeah he pulled a cheap trick.
It was a cold comin', the stars upon the ground. And the sky was burnin', and all the world was sound. It was a love beginnin', my heart upon the straw.
Hello anger its me I've been calling almost an hour. I left a message on your machine. Yeah, well I guess you're out. Heard a black guy got killed today.
Well it's hard to tell whose dream we're in. But the sky fell while we were talking. Amid the bruises and the red lights. Will you call me your darling tonight?.
Black letter came to me today. Wired and lonely. Wired and lonely. Holding my hand. Oh, black letter came to me today. Wired and lonely. Wired to the running sand.
Looks like you caught me with my hair down. See the lights are on but there is no one home. Waiting through darkness for a second time. If its the same our dreams are right again.
Once I built a railroad, made it run. Made it race against time. Once I built a railroad, now it's done. Brother, can you spare me a dime?. . Once I built a tower to the sun.
Beelzebub, I can see you again. Like I could back when I was with him. When too many suns were in orbit around you. . Beelzebub, you know I was only dreaming.
Meet me by the key-light moon in the park. They've got their clothes and their diet conscience. But are they art?. Riot squad, the old mod, his perfume tears.
Perfectly ugly I'm standing up here in front of you. Like a living work of art. And I can do cute with a bite or angry with a personable side. But they're my only parts.
I see a bad moon rising. I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightnin'. I see bad times today. . Don't go around tonight. 'Cause it's bound to take your life.
Gather up the bones, gather up the ashes. Gather every tear, some Joe Hairs lashes. Gather up the dead, gather up the spirit. Gather up the song and the ones who need to hear it.
