Don't ask me what I think of this. I only think of that.. Try talking?. First I'll try to hum. It's just that my sum isn't adding up.. . Oh, let me state my case.
So wouldn't you like to try?. You're so alive and unusual.. I really don't think you'd mind.. It's not too dear,. it's not too difficult.. . Think of this for awhile..
Well the steel in his strings. Cuts into his fingers. And the lines that are left. He knows so well. . And the words that he screams. Sift through the smoke and sweat.
So the trouble got your tongue. and all you pulled it out together. Finally set things straight. sounds about right. . Being something. well I don't think so,.
Words, shallow words. and it all amounts to nothing. sounds, it just sounds, a little phony. . yeah, its true I was the leper. yeah, its true I was the lad.
and what am i too gone for you?. and when am i too gone?. and what am i too gone for you?. and when am i too gone?. . wasn't i once on for you?. and what am i to say?.
Here's a man who can't take a joke.. He wails and battles and bawls.. Here's a man who lost his control.. And I can see, we all can see, that he'll never get that joke..
i heard you ring, so you'll be there with bells.. i know you know, this side of things so well.. i'm standing here, and waiting for an answer.. and still in awe....
All alone, you sit by the hour. You're waiting for the sun to rise. In the night you sit by the fire. You're waiting for the will to fight. . Chorus:.
I want a word with you, 'bout some average Jimmy.. He told me things that I guess I never knew.. He was a bad dancer, 'til he learned to shimmy.. He was adrift until the world came into view..
Its the way that you repair the broken parts. Its the way that you assemble. and its wondering that keep the stops and starts. . Oh, this still life has its virtues.
Come steer me now. Leave ideas in my head.. And I'll come alive. Or cover me instead.. . There's a ceiling light above me. And a song that says I will..
I hear you're waving me off. I hear you're moving on past. I hear you're sending me on. At last. . I hear your time has come. I hope your time will last.
slow down, i'm not looking for an answer.. but at least not today.. instead entertain me for the moment.. oh this won't go away.. . chorus:. you speak to me then sentence me..
Oh, you never learned the "whens" and "wheres" and "whys". And I still believe that you were dying to be everything. To everyone and for all time. Ah, the golden boy--did you stop trying?.
It doesn't matter if you are going to wait. but the lesson's learned and its seems ok. and you might not like this at all. but I never thought that you cared much at all.
Going to take you back, all the way to yesterday. when everything supposedly began.. Met some guy sight unseen, steady diet of everything. and a plan, oh man..
Someone tells me somethin'--. Well I'm prepared to listen.. Nothin's goin' on, nothin's goin' on.. Standing next to no one,. Well that was my intention..
i see you shuffle on the set when you stand inside it.. and there's applause raining down that won't last.. and it's the lines that i forget that keep me around, i guess..
They say you've been around. They say you've been uptown. Funny, I was with you. I just can't recall. But they say you've been around. . They say you've been denied.
