Drivers in the taxicabs.. People live their roles.. Thirty-five cents.. Throw it in the toll.. They don't know they're paying what is stealing all their food..
Ever since my baby left me. You know this ghost town ain't no fun no more. She stole my heart away from me. And then she dropped it on the floor. . My outside's tough, hellbent.
Did I forget, or have I really lost my mind?. Should I care about in a sober mind. It's true that time will heal my crimes. But I don't have the time to heal me.
Everybody wants a lover. Nobody wants to uncover. What may lay deep beneath. A sometimes painful past. . Wanna go without a care. Pull gardenias from her hair.
I don't wear a coat since I love the cold.. And it's not my fault I was never told to be polite when I speak.. Bow to crowds' applause from empty seats..
Dont come in unless you're going to kiss my feet. Not even the worms can get as low as I get. How can I rest well with my family in the next room. Talking how sad it is, and how expensive I will be.
I wake up, drink my coffee. Put on my pants and comb my hair. Today is the day I ain't got nothing. I ain't got nothing, I ain't got a gal. . The sun is out, it's shinin' bright.
With friends like you who needs enemies?. You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be. You're out of the car, I'm afraid you've been declined. . You shake my hand while you're pissing on my leg.
I've yet to wish death on anyone. yet to pull the wings off of a fly. and i've yet to throw a cat into a washing machine. and i've yet to get tired of your smile.
Dearly beloved,. We're gathered here to mourn,. The death of the young one,. The death of your first born.. And he tried, tried to understand,. Why his lungs gave out..
I know a girl who warns of the dangers of love. All the pain and the anguish, the sorrow that it brings. She keeps herself in a world that's protected.
It'll take you as high as the Heavens. It'll take you to the depths of Hell. It'll make you friends, it'll take your friends. Who will never live to tell.
It's getting late. Apologies disintegrate. Wasn't this such a great night?. Blue stars don't seem so bright,. When everything you see is in black and white.
This ain't the way it's supposed to be. There's a dark cloud following me. I'm disillusioned, I'm down on the world again. . There's movies going on in my head.
You work hard now. To put the food on the table. You're working for the men. Who don't even know your name. . That's the way that it goes. When you're down here with the rest of us.
In a police car I feel so very small. I see my lover's face and I watch her teardrops fall. and I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the tracks. well I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back.
Well, there ain't no use to sit and wonder why. If you don't know by now. And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why. It doesn't matter any how. . When the rooster crows at the break of dawn.
