I was walking down the street early this morning
Past the graveyard, voices whisper to me. I was walking down the street, early this morning And the silver tears of rain hung from the leaves And I swear I heard the voices singing to me... Singing to the rhythm of the beat of my feet, I swear I heard the voices singing to me - Keep on, keep on, keep on. Still in Hollywood! oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now. Still in Hollywood! My, my I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why I don't know why. And on the bus today, I met the queen of L.A. - At least she said she was and who am I to say? She was sixty-five and full of life, She had purple-painted cheeks And glitter on her eyes And the troll on the corner, I flipped him a quarter And he looked at me and smiled. He wasn't abused, he wasn't confused, He had nothing to gain and less to lose in Hollywood oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now. Still in Hollywood! My, my I'm running like a rat and I don't know why And so it's three A.M., I'm out walking again. I'm just a spot on the sidewalk in a city of sin. He doesn't give a fuck, he's living under a truck. You know it coulda been me, guess it's just my luck. But I swear I hear the voices singing to me - Keep on, keep on, keep on. Still in Hollywood... |

Well when I've had enough,
I'll get a pick-up truck and I'll drive away. I'll take my last ten bucks just as far as it will go. Ahh sometimes I'm easily fooled, I take a painful step and I get knocked back two. I do all I can and it's all I can do, but I'm true. And if I had the choice I'd take the voice I got Cause it was hard to find. You know I've come too far to wind up right back where I started. Ahh they tell me who I should be, I'll never let the monkeys make a mess of me. I give all I can and it's all I can do, But I'm true. One more sunset Lay my head down - true One more sunrise Open my eyes up - true And then they talk you up and then they talk you down And you begin to doubt. Sometimes the reasons seem so very far away. Ahh but I'd stop breathing today, but if I can't walk proud, I'd rather walk away. I do all I am and it's all I can do, Oh I'm true. I'd give all I am and I'd give it to you. So true. |

Sometimes we laugh like children
Go running holding hands I never felt like this before, I never will again Sometimes we cry like babies I hold you to my heart. I just can't stand to see you sad, It tears me all apart And we're so afraid and it's such a shame, There is no reason we should doube it. The things we want to say we'ver never said! And we look away and it's all ok and Never really talk about it It's a shame the way we dance along the edge Dance along the edge. We always seem so careful, We're always so unsure. Our past mistakes they make us shakey...eyes on the door. When do we stop searching For what we're searching for? Then when it comes, we question love and try for more! And we're happy here, but we live in fear We've seen a lot of temples crumble. Some of flesh and blood from love under glass. Will we come undone? Will we turn and run? And will we know it when we find it? It's a game the way we dance along the edge. And we'll walk the line and we'll do our time For just as long as we've been given, And pretend that we don't hear the things they've said. Can we promise love? Is it all too much And do our old souls still believe it? It's insane the way we dance along the edge. |

part the dark and chase it gone
you're the sweet and sunny one as bright as any star tonight. You smile like a beam of light you can show me a ray show me a ray show me a ray show me a ray of Sun. Just until the morning comes I'm the gray and cloudy one Raining for so long, so long Like a candle blowing in a storm but you can Show me a ray Show me a ray Show me a ray Show me a ray of Sun. |

The stars above shine down below
The fever you hold on this night Deathly cold I can feel from this side of the door I can feel Eleanor He said, sun don't rise He said sun don't shine He said don't bring tomorrow To justify tonight The moon is full-the stars are bright And the sky is a poisonous garden Tonight. Sip your Tequila. Give me some time To unlearn all I've learned for the spring to unwind And then came your sweet mouth I began to move mine. They knew with the dawn They knew with the day They knew what they had Would be young naked prey And attacked from all sides By a world filled with Poison and hate Eleanor trembles. Eleanor moans. Somehow, this body is someone She always has known She cries tears on his chest O so silent and slow- She said please don't go. Please don't go And she cried and she died in his arms And he cried nevermore The moon is full, the stars are bright And the sky is a poisonous garden Tonight. |

I hear you're driving
someone else's car now... She said you came and took your stuff away - All the poetry, and the trunk you kept your life in - I knew that it would come to that someday... Like a sad hallucination, when I opened up my eyes, the train had passed the station, and you were trapped inside... Yet I never wonder where you went, I only wonder why, I wonder why... Oh Caroline Oh, whoa-oh Caroline oh, oh Caroline whoa whoa whoa, Caroline Well I hear you're using someone else's number; She said she saw you in the store today. It doesn't matter whose address you're listed under, I only know they'll never make you stay. Like a memory in motion, you were only passing through... that is all you've ever known of life, that's all you'll ever do. There's a dream I have where I sail away; looking back I wave at you, and I wave goodbye... Oh Caroline Oh, oh whoa oh, Caroline Oh, oh Caroline Oh In another life I see you as an angel flying high, and the hands of time will free you - you will cast your chains aside - and the dawn will come and kiss away every tear that's ever fallen from your eyes... behind those eyes, I wonder Oh, Caroline... oh, oh, oh... Oh, oh... Caroline... Sometimes I wonder... Oh... Caroline Sometimes I, Sometimes I wonder... |
