Don't let me bring you down. When I'm too tough to be around. Just walk right on by and don't look back. There's a lonely man with eyes of stone. He's seen more trouble than you'll ever know.
One eye is open, the other eye is shut. Don't throw anything to me. I'm in no place, no place to receive. And I just can't move a thing. . Things are rough down here.
Well, she was so fine on the first impression. Taken, taken in by the view. With eyes so soft and a face so smooth. Well, I found her selling in a fashion booth.
In days gone by we chose our side. Showed them we weren't afraid to step over the line. Standing fall we would look you in the eye. Cause what we hold true you could never deny.
I save all my suffering for myself. I won't share the things I feel with anyone else. Try to bury the night leave it far behind. Don't want to call it by name but I think it's the end of the line.
Kids standing in the streets. Angry faces and weapons on their feet. Broken step broken bottles on the ground. Tension's thick you can feel it all around.
And he stands at the banquet room bar. Looking over the crowd. The reunion band playing too loud. And he sees his fellow old star. Looks him up and down.
So nice to be here. With all you good people. Is anybody listening. To what we're doing tonight. Could you give us a chance. While you hit the sauce. Might try a little flash up here.
Cruisin' down the boulevard where. Chrome was king in the street lights. Where dreams came true every Saturday night. Turning on the radio the nights just came alive.
So nice to be here. With all you good people. Is anybody listening. To what we're doing tonight?. . Could you give us a chance. While you hit the sauce?.
Riding in the early evening I'd say. I know of a certain tree. I always asked if you wanted to go. You'd just sit there silently. . Now you say, "Come on, let's go".
It's a place where greater men than I have gone. And I know my chance will come before too long. To break the chains throw my soul to the wind and rain.
Oi Oi Oi. We said Oi. Fucking Oi. . We went out drinking one summer night. So far so good, there were no scumbags in sight. Went to the party and I had no cash.
Hanging on the corner living on borrowed time. Taking my chances stepping out over the line. Always trying to tell me. You're coming to the end of the line.
Crawl up the back steps up to the back door. Reach up in the dark, turn the handle a little more. Open up real slow so the door won't creak. Look ahead, look behind, don't shuffle your feet.
Fighting in the street. The strong survive you'll see. Pacing every move. We will not be tamed. I wonder if you think of me. As a human being. We don't really care.
In light of all I've learned so far. I don't believe I'm so strange. In spite of all this time I spend. Calling the air by a name. . When the first light comes over the trees.
I got a car shining bright as day. Tearing it up trying to get away. I'm no dreamer I'm just waiting on the day. When my luck changes and things start going my way.
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves. Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays. Roy Orbison singing for the lonely. Hey, that's me and I want you only.
