when you're nothing to no one
and you're less than you can and you're looking for someone who won't cling to anything so you're stuck in some motel with the sound of her sleeping don't you feel kinda old now well ain't that a funny thing i used to wake up early i used to try to believe but life seems neverending when you're young so you're back on the highway and there's wind in her hair and you know that it's no time for thinking about somebody up there 'cause you'll turn her to drinking and you'll lead her to hell with her bible beside her she surely looks like an angel i used to wake up early i used to try to believe but faith is never easy when you're young no no no i used to wake up early now it's hard, hard enough to sleep but life seems neverending when you're young oh no no no no |

Baby you're too well-read You wanna leave me baby be my guest All i'm gonna do is cry And then i'm gonna find there's someone else And tear the stars out of the sky Baby you're too well-read Baby you're too well-spoken Baby you're far too clean When i cry, do you feel anything? Baby you're too well-read Baby you're too well-read You don't need me anymore You don't need me anymore They say storms are right for summertime Well baby i'm long gone Whatcha gonna do when you open your eyes It's a brand new day and baby No blue skies Baby you're too well-read Baby you're too well-spoken Baby you're too pristine When i cry, do you feel anything?

you lie in the heat of a summer haze
and turn it into a winter's tale you pull down the blinds and shut out the sky and do what you can to turn the whole thing grey you're crying and pleading and you're hell just to be with and you're everything that i'll ever need so why do you say you love me when you don't? you fall back into the english way of feeling only guilt 'cause you feel no pain you sit and you stare at the empty page and then you fill it with verse, make the whole thing worse you lie and you cheat your own mind to believing that you don't need anything or anyone so why do you say you love me when you don't? and why should i feel blue when i do? why? you lie in the heat of a summer haze and turn it into a winter's tale you fall back into the english way of feeling only guilt 'cause you feel no pain you're crying and pleading and you're hell just to be with and you're everything that i'll ever need so why do you say you love me when you don't? why should i feel... and who's gonna love the loveless if not you? why? why? |

Didnt I hear you say your hearts made out of steel
No ones gonna get so close, No ones gonna know how you feel Now youre a punch drunk sycophant, a little s.o.b. You say your mind is made up, isnt that the way that its supposed to be And its a long way down And its a long, long way down Walking that tall your head is gonna trip your feet Walking with the devils fine, just dont call it looking for sympathy When its four a.m. and mister you cant sleep cause your bloods still rushing at cocaine speed And you know all that you needs a little baby to say Ah mister cool down wont you let me fade those blues away And its a long way down And its a long, long way down And when you hit the ground youre gonna know about it Mister lets you and me see if we cant make a deal Ill give you the world and all youve gotta do is cry for me The reason its a cliche is because its true The harder you climb, the harder you fall, and that means you So mister hard head, hard nose, hard as steel Youre just a punch drunk sycophant, a little s.o.b. And its a long, its a long way down And its a long, long way down And when you hit the ground youre gonna know about it |

maybe i'm a little impatient, we'll concede that in mind you won't give me your number, you won't give me your time you said meet me on the corner, and there's still no sign maybe i'm a little outdated, maybe a little out of time to believe your heart is in the right place despite what you're doing to mine so i'm standing on the corner, looking like i don't care d'you wanna crucify my feelings with your fingernails and leave the loneliest boy in the western world cruising the streets for an ice cream girl i feel like a shady politician trying to sell a broken-down car sit home sleeping for virgin princess, you know that's not what you are do i have to feel this small before you'll play ball? maybe i lack sophistication, maybe a little unrefined so my credit ain't too good, well call a dollar a dime you won't give me your number, you won't give me your time i'm standing on the corner, and there's still no sign d'you wanna crucify my feelings with your fingernails and leave the loneliest boy in the western world cruising the streets for an ice cream girl, hey d'you wanna crucify my feelings with your fingernails and leave the loneliest boy in the western world cruising the streets for an ice cream girl |
