When you got no more assurance. Than a great big hunk of lead. If you don't respond to romance. Jack, you're dead. . When a chick is smilin' at you. Even though there's nothin' said.
Some days I can't get started. Wondering which shoe to put on first. Or should I brush my teeth. Before or after I put on my shirt. So many big decisions.
What good is melody, what good is music. If it ain't possessin' something sweet. It ain't the melody, it ain't the music. It's something else that makes the tune complete.
I got a gal who's always late. Every time we have a date. But I love her. Yes, I love her. . I'm gonna walk right up to her gate. And see if I can get it straight.
Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street. From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold. Look over there! (Where?). There's a lady that I used to know.
In the supermarket there is music while you work. It drives you crazy, sends you screaming for the door. Work there for a year or two and you can get to like it.
One, two, three, four. One, two. . Hey, can you hear me now. As I fade away. And lose my ground?. . Maybe you'd like to know. What I'd have to say. If I was still around.
The guy who lives upstairs. Is an actor so they say, or maybe worse. They say he changed his name. 'cause someone with the same name made it first. His girlfriend come to stay.
Pretty soon now. Why 'know I'm gonna make a comeback. And like the birds and the bees in the trees. It's a sure-fire smash. I'll speak. To the masses throughout the media.
The poets say that all who love are blind,. But I'm in love and I know what time it is!. The Good Book says "Go seek and ye shall find";. Well, I have sought and my, what a climb it is!.
Ain't got the change of a nickel,. Ain't got no bounce in my shoes,. Ain't got no fancy to tickle,. I ain't got nothin' but the blues!. . Ain't got no coffee that's perc'in,.
You told me you would me at the station gate. For our honeymoon excursion. You told me you would me at the station gate. But I got a different version.
Of all the stupid things I could have thought. This was the worst. I started to believe. That I was born at seventeen. . And all the stupid things. The letters and the broken verse.
You might have seen me hangin' 'round. I never miss one night I could be on the town. I used to be another one like you. Always running home to that special one or two.
It's a hell of a town. There's smoke coming up through the holes in the ground. It's a hell of a town. Plenty of devils for taking you down. Any time of night and day.
Take a knife. Cut out this heart of ice. Hold it high. Walk into the sun. Take a knife. Cut out this heart of ice. Hold it high. Walk into the sun. Take a knife.
It was on a summer night, she says, a year ago today. Packed, the place was packed. The chicos lookin' for some play. He wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to Yemayá.
I'm in a movie. Where boy meets girl. What happens to me. In this brave new world. . Do I listen to my heart, do I listen to my head?. Do I look at what I see, or remember what I read?.
I've just been to see my best friend. He's got another girl. Says she's just about the best thing. In the whole damn world. . And he says can't you see what the little lady's done for me.
Wake up, got another day to get through now. Got another man to see. Got to call him on the telephone. Got to find a piece of paper. . Sit down, got another letter to write.
