Whenever Richard Cory went downtown. The people looked at him. Having been schooled in every grace. We wished that we were in his place. That was then, this is now.
I'm puny short and little but I'm loud. I learned to do my singing walking 'long behind a cart. The singing teacher always passed me by. And so I have to sing the only way that I know how.
She dropped the phone and burst into tears. The doctor just confirmed her fears. Her husband held it in and held her tight. Cancer don't discriminate or care if you're just 38.
He robbed a train near Santa Fe. For money and for riches. It ended on a chain gang. With those dirty sons of bitches. When the shadow of the night came on.
Kinda wonder what this place was like. When dinosaurs were king. Didn't need no credit cards. Didn't need no diamond rings. Put your ear down to the ground.
Woke up in the middle of the night and saw you sleepin'. I was hopin' you were dreamin' about me. Kissed your cheek and said, I love you. You reached for me and then you mumbled.
(Going up!). A tamed tongue, double mind. Doing good, leave behind. Roll yourself in the dust. Shake it off, now raise him up. Don't lose sight of what you see.
I have no other model but myself to play. I'm a man from birth, you won't turn me away. When I'm with you why do I feel this way?. You drive me wild and we mix the dark passions.
(I can't talk right now. I got the wife and the kid. In the car with the poodle.... I hate that damn dog). Sit, now beg. Sit, now beg. Scratch 'n sniff.
Girl, I swear you got me acting crazy. Half the time I dont know what my name is. I'm the kind that like to take it slow and lazy. Girl, you got me running hot and hazy.
Kiss the fat goodbye!. Grab a dumbbell, lift it to the air. Keep your torso erect and your hips square. Pump the iron, skip some rope. Spin a cartwheel, eat a cantaloupe.
Ain't no chains strong enough to hold me. Ain't no breeze big enough to blow me. Never have seen a river that's too wide. . Ain't no jail tight enough to lock me.
(No good!). Brother lashing out at brother. Mother, you don't want to hear it. Father says keep him in the closet. Sister, go and have a baby. Brother take it out on brother.
I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me. Please have snow and mistletoe. And presents on the tree. . Christmas eve will find me. With a love like me.
Well I wake up in my clothes grab my suitcase and my coat. And I close the door quietly as I leave. I walk out through the whispering season and the falling leaves.
Im so tired of all these motorway signs. Im so tired of all your big city lies. Just want a good life, be a simple kind of man. Or just something that I can understand.
I don't wanna think. That you could be runnin' around. After all the love. That I have shown you. . I won't knock on your door. I won't call to see if you're home.
I've been loving you too long to stop now. . You are tired and you want to be free. My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me. I've been loving you, a little too long.
The night is warm and dry. Lets walk down by the harbor lights. Take off our shoes and socks go down on the rocks and talk a while. You can roll another smoke, have a laugh and a joke.
At my door the leaves are falling. A cold, wild wind has come. Sweethearts walk by together. And I still miss someone. . I go out to a party. And look for a little fun.
