I see you have made yourself a brand new life. Such a cool blue star with a bright new shine. I see you wear your checkered past just like a shining suit of gold.
I'm over it. . Hey guys I'm in trouble. Didn't mean to cause nobody harm. I can see I'll always need forgiveness. . Inside I can feel it. I can almost hear it from your lips.
Five miles outside of Vegas when we broke down. Threw my keys inside the window and we never looked back. Got all drunk and sloppy on a Greyhound bus.
Then they came on me. They dragged me from the bar. Still wet from sweat and beer. . I bruise so prettily by men. Blinded by their fear, these men. Broke my back and made me lame.
A dozen roses arrive. What a perfect surprise. You greet me with a kiss. I could get used to this. . You think that I look the best. When my hair is a mess.
It's good to have a window on the world. And to live deep in the heart of the beast in the sun. Night after night, I do the same damn thing. Do the weirdness dance, for those who can't.
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,. I can see all the obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day..
One, two, three. . You've got another question eating you up inside. And needing some direction, it's too hard to decide. I have got a place for you that has the answer you need.
I'm not gonna choke on your hard sell media dope. I'm not going out like that. I don't want to hear about the summer of love. I'm not going back in time.
I'm better off. Just pretending like I never really knew you. I gotta stop. Holding hands with the memory I'm feeling. I gotta say. Something's different 'bout the way I see you lately.
Just when you learned the game of life. All the rules change overnight. Whoa-o-oh, go figure. . It seems so wrong to even try. But taking a chance never felt so right.
Luther Jackson Green lived in the apartment above me.. We smoked cigarettes on the stairs, tell me stories that the white boys never hear.. Like when he found this sign, he moved North in 1949..
Wish I could make everybody happy. But so far it hasn't worked that way. Everybody has expectations. Oh yeah, o-o-oh yeah. . If your looking' for picture perfect.
I will live. I will live. Maybe for a year or two. Maybe for a year. . I will die. Yes, I will die. I can rest secure. . I am goddamn sure. That this thing ain't no accident.
I'm on your time,. Yeah you do that blue spark too,. I do those that i fought,. No one can push my buttons like you do.. . My weak arms can't hope to hold you,.
She never thought that she would. Get her second chance. Running so far from all she's ever known. . Convinced she lost all meaning. Where did her dreams go.
Faded, hated. Faded, hated. Faded, hated. Faded, hated. . You never take, take the time to really look. Look at the one, the one I really am. You try to fit, to fit me in a perfect box.
Mmm, aa, yea. . Here is the money that I owe you. Yes so you can pay the bills. I will give you more when I get paid again. I hate those people who love to tell you.
Everybody here in the small town. Looks used and abused today. Everybody here is lookin' outside. And seems like nothing ever changes. . Everybody, they just wanna have a good time.
Can we hang out for a while. So I can talk your ear off. Just hear me out. This might sound too weird. I think I have the answer. To the questions. That we talked about.
