Eyes like a slash across her face. Lips I'd kill a man to taste. Whatever this stuff is, I'm buying. Whatever it does, I'll do it 'til I'm dying. . I can't wash her away.
If you or I don't say it who's going to. We can dance around it or dance for the truth. We sit here conjugating every variation through. Of the verb to do.
Roll down the window. Let me hear the rain. Let me hear her whispering. Honey everything is okay. . 'Cos I've had enough bad news. To last a lifetime.
Honey, sometimes those big blue eyes. Can make me fall out of bed in surprise. In the bright morning sun, in the howling wind. In the shirt you sleep in, you're the one.
Nobody's perfect and that's something that. I'm sure she'll know. 'Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times. Is like trying to divide ice from snow.
Go and tell your mother, go and tell your friends. You've been fooled again. He appeared like magic and he left you on a late night train. Yeah, some things never change.
You'll get hooked, you'll get drugged. She'll be your essence, she'll be your blood. And you'll want her more and more but you'll never get enough. And that's the first rule of love.
Tell her not to go. I ain't holding on no more. Tell her something in my mind. Freezes up from time to time. . Tell her not to cry. I just got scared that's all.
Snow in a soulless city. Covers up the cracks in the road. As a wastrel buys her cigarettes. And wipes her pretty nose. . Like a part-time Elvis imitator.
Everybody in the funhouse. Says they want out. But we're taking our time. 'Cos we're in love with time. . Whole generations, thinkin' of themselves. As infidels and pop stars.
Here I am, hardly breathing in at all. I cough when I can and that's about all. I am this man and though I turn the tape to a happier song. My face can't find a smile because it's been looking too long.
With all the stuff they sell you night and day. With all the trash they try to trick you with you lie to me. Well I don't need it, but I get it anyway.
You can grin but you can't hide. All the emptiness inside. Since she left you like. Spit in the rain. . Without doubt, it is true. She was the only love you knew.
With the sweet drip of every raindrop. Time brings you closer to me. And with each new sign, at every train stop. Another hour without you is consigned to history.
I ain't gonna laugh at this no more. Or let it just slip by. I ain't gonna watch this till I choke on the lie. . I ain't gonna take this anymore. I ain't sitting quiet.
I must've had a million damn unlucky days. But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away. I've done my deal of livin', ran from place to place.
As the sun rises over Mexico. And sets on the African plains. On a tourist jet, the in-flight magazines. Sets out your rate of exchange. . While the unhealed and homeless are wondering.
Cry. Cry out your eyes forever. It wont go away. I. Im just a dumb observer. Its so stupid what I said. . Like everyone else will do. Im gonna lie to you.
She's passing this way. And if you're looking for love, she'll give it away. Yeah, we've all drunk from that cup. You'll be hooked within minutes of tasting a drop.
Walk into the lightning of a midnight bulletin. Our brave new world sits smiling with egg on its chin. And love gets so lazy, love gets so slow. We stopped making love in the hours of daylight, too many moons ago.
