Down on Pico, a sailor on leave. finds a tattoo parlor, rolls up his sleeve.. Man takes his money, says, "What's it gonna be?". Kid says, "A big red heart, signed 'Forever Marie'.".
Come on love, come on drugs. I need the help, pick me up. I'm feeling low, the alcohol. Is wearing off. . The cocaine wore a hole inside. My bitter soul, my foolish pride.
Love means so many different things,. but you're all that matters,. and this is all I'll ever ask of you.. . Tell me your dreams, so they could be mine too,.
when i was young, times were tough. and they said, it makes you stronger. suffocate, in my sheets. turning blue on the tv. . but i don't believe in much.
I dream of dusty roads. Paved with gold that lead me in your eyes. The marmaladed paintings. Sing a song that not the crows will try. . The Piano screams a sound inside your lips.
well if i wrote it in your letter then it don't mean shit. i am a liar, a dirty wire. you could name my body but it'll make you sick. you have a savior, it's your, your heart of anger.
Apologies never sounded insincere than when calling up a mother. Her bloody child on the battle field of war. While the pretty politicians lay their babies down to sleep.
All the leaves turn green in the summer. All the roses bloom in May. All the geese fly home for the winter. High above our earth now paved. . All the stars gleam for the night time.
I heard about, I heard about your daddy got sick. Drove down to the river to die alone. Seven days, seven days till they found him all. Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat.
well i got another letter in the mail today. after 27 lines i hadn't a thing to say. it said "i love you little brother but i don't know why you let your hair get long and your soul grow tired".
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble. Ancient footprints are everywhere. You can almost think that you're seein' double. On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
as our ships sails under moonlight. the mighty north-wind blows. there's a scream come from the cabin. not a sailor could have known. is it he who killed the captain?.
The TVs blaring, the radio is turned up loud. Maybe then Ill sleep well, maybe then Ill drown you out. Dont want to think much I dont want to reminisce.
[Verse 1]. Some people hunger for the greenback bill. Some folks hunger for the top of the hill. Some people just tryin' to get a decent meal. Well I know that we can turn it around.
There are places I remember. All my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better. Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments.
I hope you find what you're lookin for when it all comes runnin' down. I hope you find it painted black on your window, or the lips of your lover's frown.
Commodore, commodore, commodore. Well, save yourself, the cellars cold but dry. Commodore, commodore, commodore. Well, grab your coat the wind'll blow out your eyes.
Turn down the lights. Turn down the bed. Turn down these voices inside my head. Lay down with me. Tell me no lies. Just hold me close, don't patronize.
Tried to keep you close to me,. But life got in between. Tried to square not being there. But think that I should have been. . Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes.
Isn't it hard to pretend that there's no feeling. When you're alone on sunny days. Just give me hope there's some light inside your own engine. Some mechanism, still the same.
