We left you in pastures rarely seen. (Holding out the fortress for a while). Everyone knew why the calm had been. (Keeping friends among you saves a fight).
Come down off your throne. And leave your body alone. Somebody must change. . You are the reason. I've been waiting here so long. Somebody holds the key.
I cross my heart and hope to die. Stick every needle in these eyes. Inject this air into my veins. If it would bring you back to me. . I haven't had a sober night.
He's the star on the stage, but he screams all night. 'Cause he can't get to sleep at all. And his favorite book, by the T.V. Light. Can't stop this matinee, he's played it over and over.
Night and stars above that shine so bright. The myst'ry of their fading light. That shines upon our caravan. . Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep. Across the sand so I may keep.
Crowned in chrome I took a ride in the wrong direction. Severing the one bind you could tie on me. Darkness froze as all the hooks have been connected.
Ain't no palm trees where I come from. No big waves crashing on the shore. No grid-locked traffic, no movie stars, no. In the part of California I come from.
You let me violate you.. You let me desecrate you.. You let me penetrate you.. You let me complicate you.. Help me.. I broke apart my insides.. Help me..
In five flights of true blue grace. You drag your bags to Gare du Nord. The crude tracks of love that streak. Roll down your cheeks and hit the floor.
(traditional).. . I wish I was in carrickfergus. Only for nights in ballygrand. I would swim over the deepest ocean. Just to see my love before I die.
Well there she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun. There to greet a working man when his day is done. I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt.
[Spoken]. This is the b-side of our platter, sports fans.. And I'm singing just for you, covered in sequins. . [Sung]. In the canyons of your mind. I will wander through your brain.
Well the road is rocky but it won't be rocky long. Ah, this old road is rocky but it won't be rocky long. Well, another man got my baby and gone. . Well, I got the blues, I'm wearing the soles right outta my shoes.
You told me baby one more time. Won't make me sit on the lonely ride. . Well it's over. I know I thought I can't let go. . I'm like a fish out of water stuck in the tree.
Strike a match and set me on fire. Watch it burn and flames getting higher. You light me up, sweet old desire. So won't you come close to my fire?. . Baby, it's cold when you're gone.
The sandman is bringing me a special gift. A sleepy dream memory of our first kiss. . Cast a shadow in my direction. Cast a shadow in my direction. Cast a shadow in my direction.
Somebody called me on the phone. They said, "Hey, is Dee Dee home?. Do you wanna take a walk? You wanna go cop?. You wanna go get some Chinese Rocks?.
Everywhere I went people knew my name. Written on my face were the scars of fame. I was known for the pride deep inside of me. But you knew the man I was born to be.
Pay no attention to the writing on the wall. The words seem Empty cause there's nothing there at all. We let the wise men beat the Drums too soon. We were just children of the moon.
No one ever lived a thousand years. Not like things we do or say. Some of those who really changed this world. We would welcome back today. They could really light the way.
