A gamblin' man was dealin'. I drew a jack a' spades. A-way down in the swamp somewhere. Deep in the Everglades. The candle on the table. Lit up your face and hair.
There's a big time coming. It's got me running out. When they all talk something. I still get nothing out. . No major awards. Well, that's not fair. .
In a time between two wars. When a slip could get you killed. A man appeared with a master plan. And they called him Wild Bill. . He talked you 'round in circles.
A big time, it's a long try. To leave all your loved ones. Get on, go far. To leave all your loved ones. . It's our love verse. A trade-off is coming, you won't get it right.
Bring your offeringccside door, she's your ride. Born to carry you to the other side. I will know you when things don't quite add up. Bring your parasol and your coffee cup.
I've got a bad taste in my mouth. Could it be cause I trusted myself?. I got a bad feeling in my bones. Could it be cause I went it alone?. I think I'm gonna lose my mind. I think I'm gonna lose it..
Now you're a long way from graduation and the age of teen. Sometimes you feel like you woke up on the wrong side of the scene. You pull yourself out of bed, you're lookin' pretty good for your age (mm-hmm!).
I wish you would stake the claim. Turned too far for your will. And I feel I failed your will. And you come later. And the healer. Makes better and better and better.
Now there's last Sunday's paper. Crumpled up and rollin' down the street away. And there's a piece of gun. Just waitin' for a ride on someone's feet today.
So, this is how it feels when you've got no one. So, this is how it feels when you've got no home. I don't wanna be alone. Sitting by a no ringing telephone.
Spoken:. Okay, now, try to stay quiet.. Chorus:. Wake up, Sally, yeah, the cops are here. And they keep knockin' at the door. Flashlights shinin' through the window in front.
Stay these days and you will find. All the hurting here will die. Be better when you're mine. And we'll stay. . In the basket and the blue of your eyes.
Sorry, I broke your heart. Left you with no stand. Don't you know I wish. I could take back the time?. 17, I was 17. . Sorry about our plans. Left you with no band.
Watch the planes take off and touch the clouds. Thinkin' I'm a mess, in trouble now. Buried her in a hole last night. Underneath a tree. . My life went wrong.
I live with the old swing and trumpets. And fly through my country and play it. And those who have calling, they have it. . And everyone needs a light.
Oh youth, is wasted on the young. Ive been hearing this lately rolling off my tongue. So, my ground is in the past, so listen up closely: This could be my last..
Is there a home, a home for me?. Where the people stay until eternity?. Is there a road that winds up. Underneath the big green tree?. Is there a home, a home for me?.
The door swung wide, I walked right in. I was a long way off from where I'd been. From behind a desk, inside a cool green cloud. A strange low voice told me then to join the crowd.
