E. McCain. Hey boy pushin' on your girlfriend. Trying to show her all the pain you feel inside. Yeah and head all scrambled and the love is gone. And you don't know what went wrong.
She's got a roof that don't leak. When the rain's pouring down. She's got a place I can sleep. Where I'm safe and sound. She's got a lock on her door.
Do I fuel my hunger deprive my dreams. Live my lonely worn out seam. Stitches weary and the scars they leave. I'm the only one deceived. Chorus:. Please stand clear from the blast.
There was a casino out in Vegas. Had a million dollars on the wall. Got my imagination workin' overtime. I knew I had to have it all. I knew I had to have it all.
E. McCain. Sitting in the kitchen. Just staring at the cracks in the wall. I've been sitting here since yeaterday. Just waiting on you to call. The cracks remind me of you and I.
She's wearin' her mama's shoes. And cryin' like a baby. Standin' on the edge screamin'. Somebody save me. She called her daddy from a pay phone. He says you're livin' in sin.
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful. Stop me and steal my breath. Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky. Never revealing their depth.
Come January when it's cold outside. Me an my baby we do alright. No leaves on the trees,. few birds and no bees. That's alright by me. I've got everything I need.
I'm a hack driver in New York City. I've got seven kids on the lower east side. I'm not a strong man, I'm not very pretty. But in rush hour hell you should see me drive.
Midnight in the holy city, playground for restless souls. Graveyards for the sons of Ft. Sumpter. And the ghostly daughters. Wait for their boys to come home.
E. McCain. After all the corridors are darkened. When the royal crown is off your head. To your chambers I will creep not a word we will speak. Just love me while the fire light dances 'round the bed.
I'm holding my last breath. It's burning in my lungs. Clenching up my eyes. Bloody up my tongue. For the words that might escape. Are ringing in my ears.
E. McCain. Well I don't drive a fast car. You know it just ain't my stlye. And I don't give a damn about that. You know it ain't worth my while. And I've been known to run around.
Seven million years of progress handed down on silver wings. Of gossamer and protein still we haven't learned a thing. Are we caught up in our anger, locked up in our rage.
Pacing gently, summer wind. The king stares softly to the sky. Will he ever see his home again. Deep from his heart he starts to cry. As his songs hit the air and young hearts are awake.
E. McCain. Sweet love is keeping a very close score. She's cheated death more than one time. The tears roll down her face and on to the floor. The psychic's been reading her mind.
E. McCain. Rubber on my tires making contact with the road. Sign on the streetpost tells me which way I should go. Riding down America Street funny that it's one way.

Al he sells records down on old St. Charley's St.. He's cleaning up Fat Tuesday's mess he keeps his sidewalk neat. And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife.
