Mom and dad went to a show. They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's. I kicked and screamed, said please don't go.. . Grandma, take me home. Grandma, take me home.
It took so long to get me back on my feet. It takes so long to find the words and the beat. And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone. To hear you call on him to try to recapture.
On President Street, you'll find the sisters. Praying over. My city's heart. While Union Avenue. Turns to its disciples. Who feels the pressure heat coming on hot?.
Show me your hands. . I wanna know how you dance pretty baby, by the light of the moon. Do you carry your lovers around in a heart like a tomb with a view?.
Honey bee, she say I got too much sympathy. But I can call her anytime. And if you're lost and you need a little peace from me. Bring all your trouble by....
I don't think I'm goin' out anymore. You better find some other body to comfort.. When I was trembling baby you was a diamond,. But you ain't a diamond no more..
We're having a party, everybody's swingin'. Tonight won't you come down out of your tower?. Don't make me dance all night alone. Alright!. . Call up your girlfriends to come out tonight.
There is no use to holler, no use to cry. Twenty pounds of curses came to visit me tonight. Salt for all the cuts, blankets for the cold. Prayers to keep the devil far away from those I love.
Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind. Don't say a single world, get back inside. Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night. Like I was a ghost in your dreams.
Goodbye, circus wheel, maybe you rest along the seas. I have given you the fire of my youth and the triumph of my enemies. And goodbye, fair weather home and your faithless factories.
I was born in a town where the rivers flow free. On a January night when the cold winds freeze. I got an Irish name and an injury. A blessing and a curse cast down on me.
Once upon a time, when I was in high school. I was in love with you lady, but you treated me so cool. I was drivin' a Chevy 72, it had 4 on the floor, girl.
If I could write. I'd tell you how much I've missed these nights. Where we'd dig around the bones. And try to find peace and patches for the holes. . I lit a cigarette on a parking meter.
Oh Cherry Bomb, you are a mystery. Exploding sparkling quiet nights. My teenage heart pumped all my misery, baby. To fingertips that might ignite. . And all along you knew my story, didn't you?.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here. Said the sign I read that was hangin' above her bed. And the sirens all were wailin', but a man can ignore the signs.
I never will forget you, my American love. And Ill always remember you, wild as they come. And though if I saw you I'd pretend not to know. The place where you were in my heart is now closed.
Like Miles Davis, I've been swayed by the cool. There's just something 'bout the summertime,. there's just something 'bout the moon. So I laid a kiss on the stone,.
Did you sleep last night. And do you remember dreams?. Do I ever cross your mind. And do you ever think of me?. . When you think about your life. Are there things you would reverse?.
See, I've been here for 28 years. Poundin' sweat beneath these wheels. We tattooed lines beneath our skin. No surrender, my Bobby Jean. . See, I've been here for 28 years.
I'd like to express my deepest gratitude. For your charity and your patience during my blues.. I must confess, I still cry every morning. While every night I just take a bunch of these trying to forget you..
