There's nowhere to run from the heat of the sun. There's nowhere to hide from your face. Black is the night, won't you show me the light. The road only leads to one place.
In my life. I've felt so self assured. But suddenly it's all changed. She's a cloud. That hangs above my world. And I find myself wond'ring in the rain.
Blinded by the magenta spotlight. Stands a disposable commodity. Don't a high price ticket make a star shine so bright. A taste of immortality. And the critics they call you the new 'boy wonder'.
Here I write you dear. Seems our love had to run. And how I wish you here. 'Cause lady you are. Oh maybe you are the one. I know, here I'am alone. Guess we kids had our fun.
I gotta keep walking to someone I love. This empty heart's in jeopardy. Living without you. It seems I keep falling for someone somewhere. One single hope someone real.
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Ain't no turnin' back for me and you. Don't look over your shoulder. No time for regrets. . You got your demons I got mine.
Hail to the shaman and his cardboard drum and the riffraff. Dancing in the sun. I sing for thee. Praise to the ugly and the dispossessed and the genius born of.
Jesu my lord. Won't you hear this cryin' soul. Messiah so kind. Won't you save this child of mine. Jo Jo oh my Jo Jo. Jo Jo he's my beautiful boy. He's my beautiful boy.
You go through the motions. Of a woman in love. Every kiss is a token. Every sigh is a bluff. Words confuse me but I see it in your eyes. You try not to show it.
My my my what a marvelous life. Wear your patent leather shoes. Gotta win and never lose. Oh then why oh why Jack I cry. Save your life and flee today.
These days I'm looking like a pitiful sight. Got a suicide smile on my face every night. I walk alone. Talk to myself. Shout angry words up to the sky.
I look at photographs of you. Sweat and shame till the sun comes through. I think of things I ought not to. . I've hung your memory on the wall. A life-size portrait ten feet tall.
The sun rises after midnight. Big dreamers never sleep. She takes a slow walk in the red light. Wishin' on the stars in concrete. Jet black roots under alabaster hair.
For your love. When I think about those nights in montreal. I get the sweetest thoughts of you and me. Memories of love above the city lights. Ooh, I tried so hard to take it.
I seen highways in the rain. Waved goodbye to midnight trains. I seen sweet dreams disappear. All my life. I felt cold wind cut my skin. Waiting on ships that never came in.
For every just man mocked and killed. For every drop of black contagion spilled. This is my house. This is my evil. For every battle lost and won. The spangled banners flapping in the sun.
Here I am a man in a new generation. Keep hanging on to where I belong. . I believe the world is one. Behind this masquerade. Reach out of the darkness.
More and more. Your kiss is like a half opened door. I can't get in. You stop me just before I begin. And it hurts to be in love. When you never get enough.
Seasons change, and I tried hard just to soften you. The seasons change, but I've grown tired of tryin' to change for you. Because I've been waiting on you.
