Sitting here wide awake. Thinking about when I last saw you. I know you're not far away. Close my eyes and I still see you. Lying here next to me. Wearing nothing but a smile.
Whoo-uuh-uuh. Whoo-uuh-uuh. Whoo-uuh-uuh. Whoo-uuh-uuh. My heart is racing. She puts her hands in mine. I feel them shaking. I look into her eyes. And I tell her that it's gonna be alright.
I strayed all over town. Memories all around. Long time since I have seen. My good old friend Janine. Always on my mind. Wondering if she's fine. I called her on the phone.
There's a leader who leads through and got a ways. He might hold you, and baby, win a race. And all the leaders who fall with a broken man. They could call you up, baby, with a plan.
In a land of a woman's dream. Can we lay down with the surface seems. Reach our hand down below her waist. And give thanks in blissful, all it takes. .
Trouble tracks me down. It's been dragging me around. Since my feet first touched the ground. And I'm kicking like a kid. 'Cause I can't get rid of it.
Tonight I'm posed and popping like a peacock. I'm pressing flesh, I'm smiling big, my spinning head sings "Stop, just stop". Cause what used to calm me down.
The sputtering blink of the street lamp. Makes you taller, then shrinks you, then splits you in half. So you're trailing yourself on your walk to the pay phone.
Your husband. He drinks like a writer. But he writes like a banker. I hope his pens all run dry. . You watch him from your cave in the corner. Full moon eyes flame and flicker.
In the hand of God there's a cattle prod. That keeps shocking us along. Until we're flung from roofs without parachutes. Filling patches on His lawn. .
I quit the carnival and moved next door. Thought I'd had enough but I wanted more. So now I'm sneaking out at night. I clean my face and shine my shoes.
Old de Spain oppressing me. Promised wealth and fields of gold. Bright sunlight has blinded me. (Burn, burn, never return). He ran my life. Manikin style.
I am with you. In Rockland, it's true. That we just had to be friends. We share the same pretentious mind. We're blind and sing together. . I am with you.
Lady Grey, you tell a smile. What is your secret, what's your lie?. You lived a long, hard life. Your memory may fade, but you're still wise. I wonder where you've been.
My baby, I fell for you. And lately I've been crawling too. Consistent is the hard line. And you know your way around mine. How I wish I could redefine.
Our eyes see colors our mind made up. . I wait for the light to shine. I wait for the light to shine. . They're tugging on your pride to help them win.
Do.. Do do do do do.. So young, we`ve discovered. Got them so confused.. Don`t mind putting the time in. It`s shocking.. That`s what they all say now when we`re walking hand in hand.
My bed was floating in the ocean. A swarming jellyfish pulled us over the surface. The sun, the sun was crying diamonds. For every broken masthead. And scotch taped sail that passed us by.
In the summer we'd be crazy. We'd fool around all the time. Oh how I loved that girl when she was mine. But now she'd left me for another guy. And it really brought me down.
People say it just doesn't matter but. The closer I get I'm giving in. I can't escape. Damn what a shame. Listen to me just for a minute. I can be quick, no gimmick.
