Sometimes I don't even move a muscle
Baby when you lie awake all night I think I've got nine lives in these corpuscles Girl, you know sometimes I don't think right I hear voices in the hall I wake up and it's nothing at all A hungry wolf, or an agry child Or something wild Something wild Something wild - tell me love is Something wild - tell me love is It's not as if we could think that things were one way And they would all just be that way right now When I was a kid I thought that someday I could tame this lion heart, some way, somehow Now I'm hungry for the love That doesn't know what it's dreamin' of Raging for the meek and mild Like something wild Something wild Something wild - tell me love is Something wild - tell me love is There's a hole where the wind blows through And some curtains hung But I can't hide a thing from you You know where I come from Well I tried getting there under my own steam 'Til my very last chance was shot Now you're under my skin like a submarine I can feel you in my veins running hot Now if it's more than a new pair of jeans, a new car, some pocket money And a place to go Then we better get up and scream at the top of our lungs like it Was gonna die if we didn't make it so I hear voices in the hall I wake up and it's nothing at all An angry wolf, or a hungry child Or something wild Something wild Something wild - tell me love is Something wild - tell me love is Something wild Something wild Something wild |

Hot summer night, I was counting all the starlight on your skin
Airtight, as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing in By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet For our sake the crickets started playing their castonets Like a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man It never hit me: I've been running ever since I took a stand And this love like Spanish moss hangin from the trees Just swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory Running straight outta time, straight outta time Running straight outta time, straight outta time Since you were mine That autumn chill sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone And we still had February frozen on the phone Spring thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue? Love calls, but do we really live the time we're running through? Or like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep Until it screams like an echo in the history books you keep 'Cause that stream running from the corners of my mind Looking back I find like a river it unwinds Running straight outta time, straight outta time Running straight outta time, straight outta time Running straight outta time just like an old man's fiddle Looking for the dance; gonna meet me in the middle I'm never gonna figure out the way that I feel - Running straight outta time, but my love's still real Now I see you- you're looking pretty in your summer dress I can almost feel you as you clutch your little locket to your breast Looking down at the picture, girl, you know you're looking fine Is it me? Was I ever in your heart or on your mind? Cause I'm running outta time I'm running straight outta time Were you ever mine? |

He threw one down from the top of the stairs
Beautiful women were standing everywhere They all got wet when he smashed that thing But off in the dark you could hear somebody sing It breaks my heart to see those stars Smashing a perfectly good guitar I dont know who they think they are Smashing a perfectly good guitar It started back in 1963 His mama wouldnt buy him that new red harmony He settled for a sunburst with a crack But hes still trying to break his mamas back Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars Smashing a perfectly good guitar I dont know who they think they are Smashing a perfectly good guitar How he loved that guitar just like a girlfriend But every good thing comes to an end Now he just sits in his room all day Whistling every note he ever played Well there outta be a law with no bail Smash a guitar and you go to jail With no chance for early parole You dont get out until you get some soul Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars Smashing a perfectly good guitar I dont know who they think they are Smashing a perfectly good guitar Late at night the end of the road He wishes he still had that old guitar to hold He'd rock it like a baby in his arms Never let it come to any harm Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars Smashing a perfectly good guitar I dont know who they think they are Smashing a perfectly good guitar |

I've been taking off and landing
But this airport's closed And how much thicker this fog is gonna get God only knows Just when you think that you've got a grip Reality sneaks off, it gives you the slip As if you ever knew what it was Takin' you down the lime Tearing through the cotton fields and bus shelters Of the South runnin' helter skelter Down through the Mississippi Delta With no place to call your own Mixing up drinks with mixed feeling All along the paint was peeling Down to an Indian blanket on a pony With no rider in the flesh and bone Lookin' for his buffalo river home I've been circling the wagons Down at Time Square Trying to fill up this hole in my soul But nothing fits there Just when you think you can let it rip You're pounding the pavement in your daddy's wingtips As if you had someplace else to go Or a better way to get there Tearing through the cotton fields and bus shelters Of the South runnin' helter skelter Down through the Mississippi Delta With no place to call your own Mixing up drinks with mixed feeling All along the paint was peeling Down to an Indian blanket on a pony With no rider in the flesh and bone Lookin' for his buffalo river home Now there's only two things in life But I forget what they are It seems we're either hangin' on a moonbeam's coattails Or wishing on stars Just when you think that you've been gyped The bearded lady comes and does a double back flip And you run off and join the circus Yeah you just let that pony ride Tearing through the cotton fields and bus shelters Of the South runnin' helter skelter Down through the Mississippi Delta With no place to call your own Mixing up drinks with mixed feeling All along the paint was peeling Down to an Indian blanket on a pony With no rider in the flesh and bone Lookin' for his buffalo river home Lookin' for his buffalo river home |

It is a hurtin' thing you don't wanna talk about it
Pain in your heart well it's takin' your breath away You left it in lipstick on the mirror no use talkin' about it Love like this just don't come along every day Somebody just stop calling you angel Somebody just let love get up and go downtown Somebody just stop calling you angel Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down They called you tookie in high school, you didn't mind it too much Kind of nice to have a nickname, kind of like they thought about it You wish that it stuck with you, didn't have to trade it in on Some crazy lover's pet name, wind up hurtin' so much Somebody just stop calling you angel Somebody just let love get up and go downtown Somebody just stop calling you angel Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down He peeled the skin off of the world and you stopped breathin' You drew a breath, he sighed, the air was freezin' Two blood-red hearts pumpin' hard out in the open You skinned your knee at kickball Twenty years ago against all hopin' Y'all put that hammer down and drove through love's angel food cake Tastin' every spongy layer and lickin' frosting off the moon Wild-eyed with excitement but childishly disappointed Maybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoon Somebody just stop calling you angel Somebody just let love get up and go downtown Somebody just stop calling you angel Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down |

I've got a blue telescope, I'm looking at the world tonight
Through a blue telescope; I wish I may, I wish I might Not see what I see - sheet metal on sheets of ice Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight Blue breath on my windshield, I came to a frozen place She shivered when I said goodbye - I wish I didn't have to face Her in that rear-view mirror, though she lives in the heart of me Looking through this blue telescope I guess she'll always be a star to me The heavens vast and wide Wait to escort the bride She lifts her wedding veil Her breath a lonesome vapour trail I got this blue telescope - I'm looking for her tonight Through a blue telescope; tell me, why must the blue angels fight? Taking one last shot at heaven while they slip stream through paradise Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight I'm looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight I've got a blue telescope Blue telescope |

Baby when I put my mind to it
I slip into another gear And I travel in another syncopation When all I wanna be is here with you And I'll be true to you cross my fingers I'll be good to you cross my fingers I'll be true to you cross my fingers Sure as a snake along the river Sure as a ghost is in the trees There is a promise love delivers Even though you never promised me I'll be true to you cross my fingers I'll be good to you cross my fingers I'll be true to you cross my fingers I wanna stay, 'til my thoughts are okay 'Til my motive is clear, 'cause im driftin away From the weight of your arms, from your soft feather bed To a cold white line down the highway in my head All our little tears are icicles Hangin' on the telephone lines And I call you up through all the cracklin' static I swear I only hear you half the time No matter how I try to hold you baby You only seem to slip away from me And then we're walkin out along the ocean Or swimmin like the dolphins out to sea I'll be true to you cross my fingers I'll be good to you cross my fingers I'll be true to you cross my fingers I'll be good to you cross my fingers Cross my fingers |

When the snake of love
Starts pulling you under And it wont let go 'Til it starts to thunder And there's not a cloud in the sky Gonna make him shake I guess old habits are hard to break Cause even the good ones Just seem to go bad Might be the sweetest love That you ever had You just cant let em go For goodness sake I guess old habits are hard to break The trouble with sainthood, darlin' You know its tough comin down But you've been doin it, doin it, doin it, doin it, doin it Since you left your hometown A regular Joan of Arc Burnin at the stake I guess old habits are hard to break Maybe the first time he kissed you The fireworks flew in the back of your mind And you been lookin just to Feel this good ever since But now every time he makes love to ya Hes just a little bit more unkind Until it feels like every move you make is in self defense That aint the facts of life Its just bad fiction Honey that sure aint love You know its just an addiction Now how much more abuse are you gonna take I guess old habits are hard to break Could be your father Could be your mother Might be your sister Or maybe even your brother Or is it your own self baby Youve been tryin to shake Well I guess old habits are hard to break I guess old habits are hard to break I guess old habits are hard to break I guess old habits are hard to break |

(let me hear ya get funky now)
When your heart touches mine And my thoughts explode When our wires get crossed And the fire burns my soul Then I know you're home When you shine your light And i dont have to use the phone To call you Baby when you hold me tight We can count heartbeats and squeeze Baby when you hold me tight You can really make a man say, please When im down to my last Cigarette in your bed And the smoke rings blow THrough the dreams in your head And we burn through the dark With a light so bright And the hardes part is leavin' Baby when you hold me tight We can count heartbeats and squeeze Baby when you hold me tight You can really make a man say please Please dont ever let go Please dont ever let go Please dont ever let go Good god it hurt me so Baby please dont let go Please dont ever let go Please dont ever let go Baby cause it hurt me so Hey baby When the morning comes And you're still here with me And you give me some Of your sweet mystery And it feels so real And it feels so right And I want your love Forever Baby when you hold me tight We can count heartbeats and squeeze Baby when you hold me tight You can really make a man say please Baby when you hold me tight We can count heartbeats and squeeze Baby when you hold me tight You can really make a man say please |

You answer questions like a natural disaster
Voices in the wind- you let em call her out The whole foundation just went flying past her She puts her heart into it - and you just yank it out You pulled her love out through the window pane Thats what she gets for loving a hurricane She could have rode off with some Texas tornado Some mister twister she could kick up her boot heels with Could have rode him on down to Laredo But you flew in from the gulf like a hot wet kiss You blew her mind fast as a bullet train Thats what she gets for loving a hurricane Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- its a shame Waah waah- loving a hurricane Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- its a shame Waah waah- loving a hurricane She might have known youd get her sooner or later Living in that railer park down by the sandy beach Where tides roll in like the big dream generators Forces of nature, blow everything out of reach Water in her living room, fire up in her brain Thats what she gets for loving a hurricane Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- its a shame Waah waah- loving a hurricane Waah waah- wind and rain- waah waah- its a shame Waah waah- loving a hurricane Waah waah- waah waah Waah waah- loving a hurricane |

I would have thought time would erase
I'll never get over you The feeling's lost in your embrace I'll never get over you But still I try And still I cry Still I'm wondering why I'll never get over you I'll never get over you I'll never get over you I tell myself my heart will find A way to get over you When I've already lost my mind Tryin' to get over you The voice goes on The feeling's long But still sweet sleep never comes I'll never get over you I'll never get over you I'll never get over you So now I've met the enemy Trying to get over you A shroud of rain, a memory Trying to get over you I recognize Those crazy eyes And still they're tellin' me lies I'll never get over you I'll never get over you I'll never get over you |
