Maybe the rain's holding off. Surely it knows we're down here. Walking 'round barefoot lost. Pretty soon these clouds got to clear. . I know it's a lot.
You call me from your armchair with no will to be there. The weight of your armored suit so immense. Caught up in the turnstiles even talk becomes battle.
Mark: We ... we have a new album out, it was released the fifteenth. It's called Closer To Home. We'd like to do one ... we'd like to do one from the album. Ah ..., but before we do, I feel that ah ..., I have to tell you something because I know that if you were in my place that you would do it for me..
I put an APB on you tonight, searchlights citywide. I flash your face upon the news at nine. I put the heat on high, whatever I gotta do to find you. Won't let fair-weather friends step in to hold you back or blind you.
I hear you America snoring. I hear you America snoring. . Did ya see it on TV. Or in your own backyard?. Gate's L.A.P.D.. And they called The National Guard.
I see a pear falling down from the tree. Winter is coming and it's plain to see. I spend the cold nights in my lonely room. Is it the winter to which I am doomed?.
I could lay down on green Swedish moss. Wherever my bed roll could be tossed. I could find sleep in the back of a cab. . I'm all that I have. . I've got a girl, a waiting for me.
I don't know why. Feel quite like a natural guy. But ever since I was a baby. People calling me crazy. You know I ain't crazy. . For, I, oh, I. I got my finger in the pie.
Daisies in the chain. Woven in your hair that falls into a braid. Woven' round the statue's toes in the gardens you made. . Bells that sing and chime.
Out on the road for forty days. Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze. Sweet, sweet Connie, doin' her act. She had the whole show and that's a natural fact.
Walk like a man. And talk like a man. Walk like a man, baby. You can call me your man. . A little girl asked me what am I gonna do. When I get old and blue and worn clear through.
She's a real upsetter. Least she's tryin' to all of the time, yeah. You know I just won't let her. Break this heart of mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ya-yeah.
If you can't feel it, keep on tryin'. 'Cause that's the way it's got to be, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's comin' down and I ain't buyin'. It's gonna' take a long time to catch up with me.
I been out on the road with my thumb in the air. I'm a long way from home but I just don't care. The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth. When it's cold up north, that's when I head south.
Don't really want to fall out of love. And baby, I need a lovin' shove. To get back in, Lord, to get back in. To get back in once again, baby. . Ooh, baby when times are good.
Well a-hey there baby, do you want to make the scene?. I said a-hey there baby, do you want to make the scene?. Aw well come on over baby, step into my time machine.
Up each morning at five o'clock. Seem like the noon-day sun ain't never gonna stop. The work is hard in a railroad yard. Hey, hey, got to make it today to punch a time card.
Everybody's doing a brand-new dance, now. (Come on baby, do the loco-motion). I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now. (Come on baby, do the loco-motion).
I loved you baby. From the start. Loved you baby. Baby, with all of my heart. . I need you baby. Can't you see. I love that little girl. Lord, you put a spell on me.
Talk to the people, but they just don't listen, no. Talk to the people, but they just don't listen. Talk to the people, but they just don't listen, no.
