Tell her I'll be waiting. In the usual place. With the tired and weary. . There's no escape. To need a woman. You've got to know. . How the strong get weak.
Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah. They're always calling on my telephone. When I pick it up there's no one there. So I walk outside just to take the air.
Now the party's over, I'm so tired. Then I see you coming out of nowhere. Much communication in a motion. Without conversation or a notion. . Avalon. .
We are climbing Jacob's ladder. We are climbing Jacob's ladder. We are climbing Jacob's ladder. We're brothers, and sisters, all. . Every rung goes higher and higher.
I stood stone-like at midnight, suspended in my masquerade. I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade. I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch.
Yesterday I went shopping buddy down to the mall. Looking for something pretty I could hang on my wall. I knocked over a lamp before it hit the floor I caught it.
Crazy Janey and her mission man. Were back in the alley tradin' hands. 'Long came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man. All duded up for Saturday night. Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes.
Well, I came to your house the other day. Your mother said you went away. She said there was nothing that I could have done. There was nothing nobody could say.

You've heard of Ali Baba, forty thieves had he. Out for what we all want, lots of L.S.D.. He also had a camel, stole it from a zoo. How he loved the camel, and the camel loved him too.

Oh, I do like to be beside the sea. Drinking bear sits in Silver's Arcade. Sips imaginary lemonade. Amusement Pork!. . Writing letters home. What a lovely view-EE-ooo (blah blah blab blab) (Dear Mom).
The coldest wind rushes through the broken window. Leaves they scatter in the breeze. Winter come so soon, time to gather for the freeze. . I brace my back, waiting for the fall.
It's been a happy day. Try not to spoil it, now. Please don't get hung up that way.. . Oh, he's not the boy for you. And I think you know it, too. Kiss him and don't start to cry..

How long can we pretend. That we know just who we are. Lost kids with nothing left. Throwing rocks into the dark. . Outside, a street of fire. Broken glass and aching hearts.
Set on fire like a paper plane. Falling down again, back to the start. I built you up just like a pack of cards. Walking separate paths into the dark.
A part of you is ending. A part of you holds on. What leaves your life suspended. Cradled by the sun. . You found what's right before your eyes. Speaking like a fool.
It's easy to fall in love. When you fall in love you know you're done. You got easy eyes to hunt. And the world above needs your blood. In the cold veins of the richest man.
Oh baby, whatcha gonna do. Oh baby, whatcha gonna do. I'm sick and tired of foolin' around with you. . Wake up in the mornin' fix you somethin' to eat,.
