Concrete Blonde - Live In Brazil (2005) by Concrete Blonde (보컬) on maniadb.com

There's a green plaid jacket on the back of the chair
It's like a moment frozen forever there
Mom and Dad had a lot of big plans for their little man
So proud
Mama's gone crazy 'cause her baby's cut down
By some teenage car chase, war out of bounds
It was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong end of a gun
Sad

(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your brother
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
Shoot to kill, yeah
Blame each other, well, blame yourself
You know, God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone

They're gonna call me sir, they'll all stop picking on me
Well, I'm a high school grad, I'm over five-foot-three
I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D.
They'll see
He didn't have to use the gun they put in his hand
But when the guy came at him, well, he panicked and ran
And it's a thirty long years 'fore they'll give him another chance
And it's sad, sad, yes, sad

(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
It's all gone in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your mother
(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
Shoot to kill, ya'll
Blame each other, blame yourself
You know, God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone

(Shoot)
Shoot straight
(Shoot)
From the hip, ya'll
(Shoot)
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your mother
(Shoot)
John Lennon
(Shoot)
Dr. King, yeah
Harvey Milk, and all for goddamn nothing
God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone

God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone.

You were watching me eat
You were watching me sleep
You were a willing sheep
And I was little-bo-peep and
You were writing it down and
You were looking for cracks but I
Look good with a knife in my back

Valentine,
I'm all mine
Valentine,
I'm all mine

With a flick of my wrist and
With a twitch of my lid
I'll make you wish like hell
You never said what you did and
With a flick of my tongue and
With a lick of my lip
You'll never work your way up
To where I slipped from

Valentine,
My steel spine
Shines up fine,
Valentine
Valentine,
I'm all mine
Shines up fine,
Valentine

Well I got leather skin
And I got a brick head
And I got clay feet and
A heart of dead lead and
I'm all wired up
And I got a lotta soul
And from what I'm told a golden hole

Valentine,
My steel spine
Shines up fine,
Valentine
Valentine,
I'm all mine
Shines up fine,
Valentine

Walking on a cloud to another shore
A luminous and beautiful promise of more

Tonight I'll be with you
Tonight I'll be with you

Walking through time
Dancing through space
The pearly-gray moon is wearing your face
And tonight I'll be with you
Tonight I'll be with you
Oh I hear your voice
Oh I have no choice I follow

Swinging on a star
Flying around
This is so bizarre, maybe
I better come down

Tonight I'll be with you
Tonight I'll be with you

Let's go planet hopping
Through the universe
There's no stopping us
Where to first?

Tonight I'll be with you
Tonight I'll be with you

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight is fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is sinking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody's got this broken feeling
Like their mama or their dog just died
Everybody's hands are in their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
When you had a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black Joe still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
Everybody knows

Everybody knows you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you been faithful
Give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you been discreet
So many people you had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
And everybody knows

Pick up the phone I know you're there
It's almost closing time
& we can toss down one more shot
before last call

are you ok?
I swear to God
I gotta get out of this house
I miss the days when I'd just
not come home at all..

so, don't you cry, it'll give you lines
around your eyes
you gotta try not to live so much of
life alone.
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle
take me home, take me home, I'll take
you home

remember when we used to stumble
down the boulevard
from bar to bar until we couldn't stagger straight
it seemed like we would live forever,
life was not this hard
no we felt nothing much at all but it felt
great

so, don't you cry it'll give you lines
around your eyes
you gotta try not to live so much of
life alone
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,
take you home, I'll take you home, I'll
take you home.

Things get better everyday you stay alive
then I'm amazed
every day
that the sun decides to rise
every minute, every hour, is another
chance to change
life is beautiful & terrible & strange.

so don't you cry, it'll give you lines around
your eyes
you gotta try not to live so much of life alone
& if i see you getting crazy by the bottom
of the bottle,
take you home, I'll take you home, I'll take you home.

now don't you cry, it'll give you lines around
your eyes
you gotta try not to live so much of life alone
& if you see me getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,
take me home, take me home, take me home.

The Little Conversation
Is Over Very Soon
And I watch in admiration
From my corner of the room.
They shine on you with starry eyes...
They rain a friendly storm.
Like kids around a Christmas tree
And then you smile all nice and warm

The Little Conversations
If I tried my very best
you know I never could say anything
In twenty words or less.
Somewhere, sometime, down the line
someday I may confess,
and tell you all, that's all

The Little Conversations
On me are very rough
They leave me all in pieces
You know there's never time enough
like a book with missing pages
like a story incomplete
like a painting left unfinished
it feels like not enough to eat.
Starvin'

these little conversations
well for me they'll never do
now what am I supposed to do with
broken sentences of you?
i'll stay in my corner 'cause
that's all that i can do
and let the others speak for me.
Little Conversations
Are We.

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...

Joey, baby - don뭪 get crazy
Detours, fences?I get defensive
I know you뭨e heard it all before
So I don뭪 say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
Fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh Joey, if you뭨e hurting so am I

Joey, honey ?I got some money
All is forgiven. Listen, listen
But if I seem to be confused
I didn뭪 mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before
And I don뭪 want to close the door
And if you뭨e somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I뭢 not angry anymore

And if I seem to be confused
I didn뭪 mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it뭩 love you뭨e looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you뭨e somewhere drunk and
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I뭢 not angry anymore
Angry anymore angry anymore

The dirty leaves are sailing
On a hot wind ocean
And the summer comes and the summer goes
And always has and will
And something, somewhere that you said
Goes ricochet all through my head
And flashing like a neon sign, the time stood still

Hours of forever
Running all together
Like the crossroads of a minute
And you and me were in it
And I never saw it coming
Never saw it fade away
Today, today, today
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days

And still the whining of the wheels
Is closest to the way I feel
And winter comes and winter goes
And always has and will
Another hour, another day
Another year you pissed away
Remember walking in the rain
I'm walking there still

That’s hours of forever
Running all together
Like the crossroads of a minute
And you and me were in it
And I never saw it coming
Never saw it fade away
Today, today, today
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days

Like every heart to beat before
And every wave to kiss a shore
I'm not the first, I'm not the last
And soon to be your past
But every morning
When the light comes
Creeping in around my eyes
Another future falls behind
The one I had in mind

It’s hours of forever
Running all together
Like the crossroads of a minute
And you and me were in it
And I never saw it coming
Never saw it fade away
Today, today, today
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days
Days and days

Days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days

I feel hot & red & wired
I feel burned out like I've expired.
freaky dreams & you are there
with glowing eyes & burning hair &
& I'm not even dreaming
violent.
every nerve & every cell
they gotta fight to stay alive & well
I'm in a world of chronic
discontent
screaming metal & burning rubber
always shoving & raping & cursing each other
exploding into violence.

try some buy some
wheel & deal it
buy or steal it
if it makes you feel it
we want it intense
we want our violence.
get ready to take it all the way
the things they do
the words they say it's all so
ready to get
violent

wedding bells all pink & white
chocolates & candlelight
you & me & we makes three
k/ i /s /s /i/ n/ g
like a comedy
that never played quite right

it seems so easy & it looks so clean, all the
shiny happy people in the magazines
but nothing seems to mean
what it meant.
a flood of blood & a burning pain
broken hearts & throbbing brains
the message has been sent
& it's violent

try some buy some
wheel & deal it
buy or steal it
if it makes you feel it
we want it intense
we want our violence.
get ready to take it all the way
the things they do
the words they say it's all so
ready to get
violent

Say it's been too hard
Say it's been too long
You say it's all too much
The thrill has long been gone
Well I thought you could
Yes I thought you could
And you thought you could too


But it's a place and time
Where the years behind are piled up high
But never mind
It's time to crash and burn or fly
And I thought you could
You know I thought you could
You know I thought you could too

Go to sleep now
Go on dream away
Isn't easy, is it babe?
And I hope
And I dream
And I pray
That sometime
We'll find a way

Some say easy come
Some say easy go
Some say time flies by too fast
Some say it drags on all too slow
Well I thought you could
You know I thought you could
And I thought I could too

But, if you never find
The heart to start all over again
Remember I was one
Who tried to be a friend to you ... I
Well, I know I tried
Yes, you know I tried
And I know you tried too

Go to sleep, now
Go on dream away
Is it easy, is it babe?
And, I hope
And, I dream
And, I pray
That sometime
We'll find a way

Go to sleep, now
(Go to sleep, now)
Go on dream away
(Go on dream away)
Is it easy, is it babe?
(Is it easy, is it babe?)
And, I hope
And, I dream
And, I pray
That sometime
We'll find a way

Blackest eyes I've ever seen like moonstones shine,
And all the while behind the dancing eyes the boy was crying,
He creeps like ivy on the stairs, you know I liked him then,
When we would sit and drink for hours and watch the sidewalk spin.

(Chorus)
Well baby, I don't wanna hear your secrets,
I don't share your pain,
I don't wanna know about the wrinkles in your bed,
I don't wanna hear about the ghost inside your haunted head,
Inside your haunted head.

Now, I don't need your tragedy and I don't need your shame,
You can't keep your promises, but you keep naming names.
He laid his troubles out to me like a deck of playing cards,
Well don't you know that I can tell the Kings and Jokers well apart?

(Chorus)
Now, I don't wanna hear your secrets, I don't share your blame,
I don't wanna hear about the wrinkles in your bed,
I don't wanna hear about the ghost inside your haunted head,
Inside your haunted head!

Haunted,

Head.

all the young dudes
feather'd & possessed
a sparkling sequined mess,
so special
& so eloquent
heavensent
what I meant to say is
of all the sounds I hear
with my humble human ear none
are as delicious
or nutritious.

o roxy,
you're my maggie may
more beautiful tonight
than you ever were back in the day
o roxy, your golden boys
make a beautiful noise
after all these years
you still bring tears to my eyes.

sweeter sounds
from space were never heard.
or a perfect turn of word,
like a whirlwind,
you blow in again
& all the songs
have been in my head
& heart for o so long
It's like listening to a kiss.
oh, you'll never know
how very much we missed you,
dearest

o roxy,
you're my maggie may
more beautiful tonight
than you ever were back in the day
o roxy, your golden boys
make a beautiful noise
after all these years
you still bring tears to my eyes.

Oh, amigo
Here we do things slow
Money, art, a broken heart
Where did you want to go?
Senor, por favor
To the hotel Zona Rosa
What did I come here for?

Oh, senor
I run, but the damage has been done
Miles have gone away
And my amor, he never come

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Uno Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

Senor, you are wise
I can see a million years
A million tears behind your eyes
Take me home
Take me to the Zona Rosa
Mariachis and tequila
I will dance the night alone

Just some time
Just a little kiss of mine
Take me where I can forget, senor
You are so very kind

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Dos Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

I look up at the sky
I will try not to cry
Tres Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

It is complete, now
Two ends of time are neatly tied
A one-way street
She's walking to end of the line
And there she meets
The faces she keeps in her heart and mind

They say, "Goodbye"
Tomorrow, Wendy you’re going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy you’re going to die

Underneath the chilly gray November sky
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive
And we're shooting for the moon
And smiling Jack is driving by

And they say, "Good try"
Tomorrow, Wendy you’re going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

I told the priest
Don't count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked
The first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come
The gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don't wonder why
I wonder what he thought it would get us
Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Only God says, "Jump"
So I set the time
'Cause if he ever saw her
It was through these eyes of mine
And if he ever suffered
It was me who did his crying

Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
(Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die)
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
(Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die)
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die

Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
