She comes to my bed like a whisper. Slips in the sheet like a ghost. Says to my ear "hey mister,. You need to take this girl to the coast. . I need to kick my feet up in the ocean.
Yeah, we're gonna burn, burn, burn. And we're gonna shine, shine, shine. . Even if it wears us out or takes us out past. These county lines, we're sick of moving.
Carrie's a cold one, colder than the winter sun. I should warn you, you better dress for it. And I'm not the only one that thinks so. Beauty is skin deep, and yes, she is thick-skinned.
I've been working on the land, hot sun got to me. Think I may be dying, bring me your tea. Sheep in the thicket, fruit on the tree. I work till I'm bleeding, bring me your tea.
I hold my breath, I'm on the edge. Storming hills, I've been lost and found. I hope they're coming, I can hear them running. . I once met peace, he said that he.
I got laid off, it's Monday. And I'm calling to tell you. It don't sit with me well. I feel like I failed you. You say, "We got each other,. And that's plenty enough...".
A tight little tee shirt everybody likes. You come from the country to dance away the night. It isn't that your mama wouldn't be proud. It's only that your daddy would never live it down.
VERSE 1.. There ain't no way to tell a man why a river flows,. Or how a diamond can be born out of busted coal.. There ain't a word that I can find to describe her touch..
While hollywood sleeps,. A young man is dying. On the concrete of a sidewalk downtown.. . As his brother weeps,. The sirens come calling. And the medics feed him lines on the ground..
All the while having fun. All the while having fun, I know you're the one. Everything's cut in two. Everything's cut in two, just like me and you, just like me.
I sit in the willows, my hat on my knee.. There's a man in my shoes where a boy used to be.. I'm wore-out and weary, but before my time's done. I need to find me a place in the sun..
We were drunk fools in paris, stumbling on the sidewalk. That runs along the seine, and on the cathedral. All the gargoyles watched us laughing,. "two stupid americans...".
I need time away, away from all time. To make a change, to change my mind. I wanna give, I wanna share. I wanna sing like its a prayer. . If we only had a minute to ourselves.
All the people at the party left you. Sitting at the table all alone. You can hear their voices. Chatter through confetti. You're alone. Light... Breaks... through You.
In the first thirty seconds. She told him she was leaving. She picked up the one-way suitcase. He stood there disbelieving. Then a minute passed and she turned to walk.
And it ain't shining, it ain't shining, shine, shine, shine.... . There's cracks in the walls in the town of jericho, sirens blaring out a lifetime never told rembrandt at the wall his palate's small, his hopes are tall he writes his name, his claim to fame.

Mrs. Jones wakes up, got a lover in her bed. She don't even know the boy's last name. And whatever excuse she makes up. For what happened in the sheets.
Cathy's hailing a cab like she's hailing a storm. Unto the streets of new york city. Once we're inside, it's a carnival ride. That brings a white knuckle kind of dizzy.
Leo's is the bar up in heaven. Where all the martyrs hang out. Gandhi staggers in with john lennon. They'll start a bar fight, no doubt. . Chorus. When you lead, we follow.
