Morphine

(Sandman)
I'm never going back never going back to you
I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to dig out your picture
I'm never going to look you up someday
Life is very short
You don't love me anymore
So I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to write you a letter
Never going to call you on the phone
I'm never going to drive by your house


I'm never going to catch you coming outside
Never going to walk up your walk
And ring your bell
And feel you fall into my arms
I'm never going to see you (x2)
I'm never going to see you again
Your gone for good

She painted a bull's eye on my mind.
No matter how I moved her aim was never high.
I guess that was what I needed at the time.

A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.

She was heavy, on the back beat. See played me just like a tambourine.
Well, she took me to church, prayed till it hurt.

A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find.

She was a helluva woman, from a helluva town.
She took me all the way, it was a long way down.
She makes me wonder, wonder, all day long.
Can a good woman, ever be found? Can a good woman, never be found?

She was beauty and adventure. She seemed so glad to be alive.
I want to be happy, but not all the time.

A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find.

She wrapped me up. Saved me for later.
Left me no way to penetrate her. Guess that was what I needed at the time.

A good woman is hard to find. A good woman is hard to find.
I'll live to love another one more time. A good woman is hard to find.

On my fingertips. On the tip of my tongue.
I register your every touch. I hear your smell.
I hear your smile. Fast as light. Two hundred miles.

And all across that line. Stretched between your bed and mine.
All alone just for tonight. I'm yours and you're mine.

I got birds that shiver in a forest so thick. I got hands full of magic tricks.
And I'll part those branches with my hands.
Clear the land mines from your path.

And all across that line. Stretched between your bed and mine.
All alone just for tonight. I'm yours and you're mine.

And all across that line. Stretched between your bed and mine.
All alone just for tonight. I'm yours and you're mine.

On my fingertips on the tip of my tongue. I register your every touch.
I'll row the boat across the lake. We got smoke, we got perfume in our wake.

And all across that line. Stretched between your bed and mine.
All alone just for tonight. I'm yours and you're mine.

Like a mirror I'm nothing. I'm nothing. I'm nothing till you look at me.
I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me.
I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me.
I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me.
Martha Lee.
Leave your world, come to me. I'm closer to you than I seem.
Wish upon this melody and come to me Martha Lee.

Leave your world and join me soon. Leave your world behind.
You can take the Saturn Line. In no time, no time.

I know a ship that's leaving soon. Oh, in fact this afternoon.
So don't forget your parachute. I'll be there to catch you.

And you my future constellation. Climb up here in the sky with me.
Leave your world and come to me. I'm closer to you than I seem.

Oh, wish upon this melody and come to me. Come to me.
Leave your world and join me soon. Martha Lee. Martha Lee.

I know a ship that's leaving soon. In fact this very afternoon.
So don't forget your parachute and I'll be there to catch you.

I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me.
I'm like a mirror. I'm like a mirror. I'm nothing till you look at me.

Hand over hand up the lifeline, luckily the knots stay tight.
Silhouettes of the two of us climbing, climbing up a rope on fire.
Climbing up a rope on fire.

Trapped in a room in a fortress, running outta air to breathe.
Only seconds to go and we'll break free, I didn't think that we would reach.

Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb.
And save ourselves before the oxygen is gone.
I'll call for backup, you start to scream.
It's not the first time we've been in this dream.

She ripped the wings right off my back.
She whispered deep, keep it on the track.
She said you're no angel, no angel anymore.

All the wheels are coming loose. Close-up shot of a burning fuse.
The sky is filled with question marks. Will the chains come apart?
These few seconds that I've left to go. Flames and chaos down below.
And the earth opens wide. Got to climb a rope on fire.

Look at the clock. Look at the clock.
Make it to the car but the car won't start.
Me try to move the car but there's no more time.
We'll have to climb a rope on fire.

Hand over hand up the lifeline, luckily the knots stay tight.
Silhouettes of the two of us climbing, climbing up a rope on fire.
Climbing up a rope on fire. Climbing up a rope on fire.

Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb.
Then save ourselves before the oxygen is gone.
I'll call for backup. You start to scream.
It's not the first time we've been in this dream.

Is this the way that you like it?
Is this what you had in mind when you called above to the angels for the six hundred and sixty sixth time?
Hey, what about this? What about this. Shake it.

What do you want and how do you like it? How many times is this the right socket?
What do I wear and what do I say? Please tell me again how we get there.
Please tell me again how we get there.

So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped.

Too late for anymore questions. The preamble is done. The overture's ended.
The drawbridge is up. Cat's out of the bag and looking for a sofa to scratch.
Looking for a sofa to scratch.

This the way that you like it.
This what you had in mind when you called above to the angels for the six hundred and sixty sixth time.
Hey, what about this? What about this. What about this. Shake it.

So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped.
So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped.
So many ways to get a lift. So many ways to get your head unzipped.

(Mark talking backwards for a second)

I remember meeting you, we were super low. Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones.
And I remember being this close, but never alone. You gave me a little something to take home.
I dropped it on the floor. I dropped it on the floor. Dropped it on the floor. I dropped it

If I can only remember the name that's enough for me because names hold the key. Names hold key.
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me because names hold the key. Names hold key.
Souvenir of nothing.

Brought home a souvenir of nothing. It fits into a pocket.
A souvenir a souvenir of nowhere. Somewhere I've never been before.
I dropped it on the floor. I dropped it on the floor. Dropped it on the floor. I dropped it

If I can only remember the name that's enough for me because names hold the key. Names hold key.
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me because names hold the key. Names hold key.
A souvenir of nothing. A souvenir of nothing.

I remember meeting you, we were super low. Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones.

You want to begin again. Pretend you're innocent.
If you believe, you can convince yourself. I'm sure you can convince yourself.

This town never gave you much back. Just rumors and a whispering attack.
This town is not your friend. Never mind the loose ends.

Take me with you when you go now. Don't leave me alone.
I can't live without you. Take me with you, take me with you when you go.

And I don't care about the things I leave at home.
Cause things can't really keep you company when you're alone now.

You want to burn your bridges? I'll help you start the fire.
You want to disappear? I got the manual right here.
You say you want my help? I can't help myself.
You want my help? I can't help myself.

Take me with you when you go now. (take me with you take me with you)
Don't leave me alone. (don't leave me alone)
I can't live without you. Take me with you, take me with you when you go.

Take me with you when you go now. (take me with you take me with you)
Don't leave me alone. (don't leave me alone)
I can't live without you. Take me with you, take me with you when you go. Ahh.
(take me with you take me with you)

You want to begin again. Pretend you're innocent.
If you believe. You can convince yourself, I'm sure.
You can convince yourself.

Take me with you when you go now. (take me with you take me with you)
Don't leave me alone. (don't leave me alone)
I can't live without you. Take me with you, take me with you when you go. Ahh.
Take me with you when you go now

You're the night, Lilah
A little girl lost in the woods
You're a folktale
The unexplainable
You're a bedtime story
The one that keeps the curtains closed
I hope you're waiting for me
'Cause I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own

It's too dark to see the landmarks
And I don't want your good luck charms
I hope you're waiting for me
Across your carpet of stars
You're the night, Lilah
You're everything that we can't see
Lilah
You're the possibility

You're the bedtime story
The one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me
'Cause I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own

Unknown the unlit world of old
You're the sounds I've never heard before
Off the map where the wild things grow
Another world outside my door
Here I stand I'm all alone
Driving down the pitch black road
Lilah you're my only home
And I can't make it on my own

You're a bedtime story
The one that keeps the curtains closed
I hope you're waiting for me
'Cause I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own

No there's nothing too romantic about the way we met.
That's not to say it doesn't make a certain sense.
Maybe it's just the kind of people that we are.
That's not to say whether it's right or wrong.
It's not right or wrong. It's not right or wrong.

There's no cute story that we tell together.
Laughing and finishing each other's sentences so charmingly.
Truth is it was all an accident.
Just like it is for everybody else.
But then again it was all and accident.
Just like the way it is for everybody else.

Later we had toast, took turns sitting on the windowsill.
Like two fields of wheat, sent signals cross the kitchen sharp and sweet.

There's no cute story about the way we met.
We just woke up one day in bed.

Shouted out for alarm clocks. Where's the remote control?
Put the blankets and the chairs against the windows and doors.
And stayed close together, trying to stay warm, oh.

Now there's nothing too romantic about the way we met.
That's not to say it doesn't make a certain sense.
Maybe it's just the kind of people that we are.
It's gone to far to be right or wrong. Now, now, now, now.

First we'll pick Priscilla up. And then we'll stop for Jane.
And Mary Ellen needs a ride. We're going by her place.

We're going to a party. Our friends will all be there.
I got the directions. It's across the river somewhere.

We rang the top floor, bottom buzzer.
Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer.
The middle won't work. Ring the one under.

Priscilla's in the kitchen she's mixing drinks.
She's mixing one for me I think.
And one for Mary Ellen and one for Jane.
Priscilla, she knows how to use a shaker.
She doesn't get up as early as a baker. Uh huh.

There's a muchacha, teaching me to mambo.
There's my buddy Pete eyeing a bowl of combos.
Ramona and a man do a tango dip. Cheek to cheek, hip to hip, come on.

The window's open it's the heart of the summer.
More people coming looking for the number.
Mary Ellen sees them she has a little stutter. She yells...

T-top floor, b-bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer.
Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer.
The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo.

It was later it was after two.
We found a bottle of good chartreuse.
The lights were green and gold. We played Latin soul.
By the time Priscilla put the Al Green on the bottle was gone.

On the top floor, bottom buzzer.
Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer.
The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo.

Top floor, bottom buzzer. Top floor, bottom buzzer.
Top floor, bottom buzzer. The middle won't work. Ring the one under. Come on. Woo.

Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the nightlife
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the nightlife

One drink, call it an early night
Soon you're curled up beneath the reading light
Or you bathe in the TV's blue tint
On your pillow an after-dinner mint

Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the nightlife
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the nightlife

Early to bed so you can wait
For three buses, a trolley and a train
I think it's worth it for you to stay awake
Maybe tomorrow you'll be a little late

But early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the nightlife
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the nightlife

You'll miss out on the night life
You'll miss out on the night life

Tore open the package it was an empty box
No meaning to me, just an empty box
Sender was a woman
Sender was a woman

She said, she's sending me everything that I, I
I never gave her before
She said, "Fill it up and send it back
Fill it up and send it back"

So I sent her back an empty box
A big mistake, sent back an empty box
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound

I cross them to a valley, a valley so dark
That when I look back, I can't see where I began
I can't see my hands, I don't even know if my eyes are open
In the mornin' I was by the sea
And I swam out as far as I could swim
Until' I was too tired to swim anymore
And then I floated
And tried to get my strength back

And then an empty box came floatin' by
An empty box and I crawled inside
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound in the night
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound
Alright

On six-six-six six, I was little, I didn't know
Shit and on seven-seven-seven seven
Eleven years later, still don't know any better
By eight-eight-eight eight, it's way too late for me to change

And by nine-nine-nine nine
I hope I'm sittin' on the back porch drinkin' red wine
Singin', ohh, French fries with pepper
Ohh, French fries with pepper

Hanging on a curtain
Swinging like a clock
(Swinging like a clock)
Big hand on the seven
Little hand on top
(Little hand on top)

You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
(Told me not to stop)
You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
(Told me not to stop)

Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hand inside your clothes
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hand inside your clothes

Cute buttons like pointy little teeth, Woh!
Don't bite please
Cute buttons like pointy little teeth, Woh!
Don't bite please

Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hand inside your clothes

Hanging on a curtain
Swinging like a clock
(Swinging like a clock)
Big hand on the seven
Little hand on top
(Little hand on top)

You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
(Told me not to stop)
You said you like to hear me talk
You told me not to stop
(Told me not to stop)

Give me a kiss hello goodbye what's the difference? Just end everything
You say with a smile, wave goodbye, hello, with that look in your eye
Forwards backwards back it down the drive, the curtains in the window
Wave goodbye hello there's that look in your eye and your crazy smile

I know you and you know me too. I know everything that you're going through and
You know everything that I'm gonna do. You know me and I know you

Give me an invitation and I'll be there unless of course I have to be somewhere
Give me your wishlist, let's shake hands. If you don't like it you can
Have your money back

First I learned to crawl
And then some other strokes
I can never remember any real good jokes

Do you feel like swimming?
Do you feel like swimming?
Yes, right now

I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown

It's a lot like swimming the first time over your head
It gets easier when you move your arms and legs
And for air you lift your head, why don't we try it right now

Yes, right now
Yes, right now

Well, I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown
Well, I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown

We'll go by way of the garden
Fat with tomatoes and beans on the vine
Sweet like the way it was
Like swimming for the very first time

Do you feel like swimming?
Do you feel like swimming?

Well, I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown
I know a way to swim all the way downtown

Do you feel like swimming?
Do you feel like swimming?

Murder for the money
Yeah murder everyday
Murder every inch
Of the goddamm way
Murder in the morning
Yeah murder in the night
Murder every single moment
Of your godforsaken live

Yeah it's murder for the money
Yeah it's murder for the money

Murder for the money
You got to cry sweat and bleed
I've seen a grown man
Have to get down on his knees
Murder in the morning
Yeah murder in the night
Murder every single day
Of your goddamm life

Yeah it's murder for the money
Yeah it's murder for the money
Murder for the money
Murder for the money
Murder for the money

Murder for the money
Murder for the money

Give me a potion to make me love you
Give me a potion to make me care
Give me a potion to make me love you
Make it a double, make it a double

Below the ocean, I make my bed down there
Below the ocean, I got to live somewhere
Maybe the graveyard, and maybe I don't care

Why can't love be blind?
Instead of just a blind man crying
Why can't love be, why can't love be blind?

Thanks for the potion to make me love you
Thanks for the potion to make me care
Your charms are working on me
Your charms are working hard
Your charms are working on me
Your charms are working hard

Thanks for the potion to make me love you
Make it a double, make it a double

I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line, lined up in the sunshine

I'm on time, fresh, fast
A sweetheart, I'll watch your back
Come on swing, a swing from the shoestrings
Right or wrong, to me it's the same thing

You especially you
You especially you
You especially you
You have my loyalty

You in wartime Love peace
I need to walk you down the street
I'm right here, I'll watch your back
In case the wind blows off your hat

You, you're on time
Your eyes are like a diamond mine
Deep and bright inside

I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line, lined up in the sunshine

I got buttons bursting in the air
Ideas, run fingers through my hair
[Incomprehensible] they are ready to move
[Incomprehensible] they are ready to move

Swing it low, swing it low
Swing it low, low, low
Swing it low, swing it low
Swing it low, low, low

I move smooth, underwater.
I know my way around.
Everybody knows me,
I grew up in this town.

I got one million,
Two million,
I can't remember how many million,
Millions.
And I'm exactly where I want to be right now,

Ohh yeah.
Mhmm.
I got a callback from the wishing well.
Ohh yeah.
Alll right.
I got a callback from the wishing well.

I don't even have to shoot,
Don't even have to aim,
I just smile, deal me in.

I got one million,
Two million, uh-huh,
I can't remember how many million,
Millions, I tell ya.
I'm exactly where I want to be right now,

Alll right.
Ohh-kay.
I got a callback from the wishing well.
Oh!

I move smooth, underwater.
Crisp like a waterfall.
Smooth, underwater.
I know my way around.

See, I got one million,
Two million,
I can't remember how many million,
Millions.
And I'm exactly where I want to be right now,

Alll right.
Alll right.
I got a callback from the wishing well.
Awwh yeah.
Ohhh!
I got a callback from the wishing well.

She had black hair
Like ravens crawling over her shoulders
All the way down

She had a smile that swerved
She had a smile that curved
She had a smile that swerved all over the road

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong

She had a way of making people
Feel good to be around her
As it should be

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong

And when she laughs I travel back in time
Something flips the switch
And I collapse inside

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong

Meanwhile
Down love's tributaries
In a canoe on my knees
She takes me anywhere anywhere she pleases
Vines surround us long and red
Curling around our arms and legs
Breaking through we have a drink and somehow find ourselves in sync so
We continue on and on there's no time to think right now
Perhaps another day is lost
[ the rest coming soon ]

I feel lucky, I just feel that way
I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today
Now I'm siting at a Blackjack table
And swear to God the dealer has a tag says 'Mabel'
Hit me hit me I smile at Mabel
Soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to the table

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day

Mabel gives me a great big smile
She's getting to know me, she's on my side
I'm a winner and I came to play
Now I know why they say

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day, have a lucky day

Now I'm down a little in fact I'm down a lot
I'm on a roller coaster ride that I can't stop
Yeah my luck has changed but she'll come back
That's the beauty of a game of chance
I can't lose forever but I'm doomed to try
Because I keep on hearing a voice inside

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day, have a lucky day

Kerouac yea Kerouac
His words the words so many words just
All brothers of the same horn sisters the saxophone
Notes music words a melody a quote a figure eight a figure
If you listen close to the drummer
It's like a mirror and your invisible
Like your in a back seat
No handles on the doors just a beautiful driver up front
She knows where she's going
Kerouac the observation machine
Caressing the most passing of scenes with photographic love
Passionate photographic love
venerable as anyone knew
His memories pull shades up and down
Doors are not done telegrams arrive
Every morning something extra ???
Remembering everything like a snatch of melody
A drumbeat remembering mythologizing
So fast all the time moving
The words the words are drumsticks pounding out drum beats
Like a monk like a monk melody
With mistakes yea mistakes and sudden inspirations
Edges corners explosions convections
All fast through a slow motion landscape
Yea fast through a slow motion landscape

Nothing's going to shake me
Nothing's going to bring me down
Nothing's going to shake me
Nothings going to make me change
That's the way I am and I'll always be the same
Yea oh
Nothings going to shake me
Nothings going to make me change

I got an action packed extravaganta
I got a sweet haiku
I got the cash to cover the action
I got the soul food
There's a flag I wanna fly
A mountain that I put in time
I was always on my way
Nothing's going to shake me
Nothing's going to make me change
That's the way I am and I'll always be the same
Mile high (x6)

My whole brain was out of tune
Whole brain was out of tune
I don't know how to tune a brain, do you?

Went into a brain shop
They said, they'll have to rebuild the whole head
I said, "Well, do what you got to do"

When I got my brain back, didn't work right
Didn't have as many good ideas
Haven't really had a good idea since I got it fixed

I was drivin my car
I was drivin my car
I was gettin kinda tired, so I pulled over the car
I pulled over the car
I pulled over the car
I got out of the car, walked around the car
I got a little air, I felt better
I got back in the car
I got back in the car
well as soon as I got back behind the wheel I felt tired again
so I pulled over the car
I pulled over the car
I got out of the car, walked around the car
I got a little air, I felt better
I felt better
I felt much, much better
so I got back in the car
I got back in the car
well as soon as I got back behind the wheel I felt all tired again
so I pulled over the car
I pulled over the car
I got out of the car, walked around the car
I got a little air, I felt better
I got a little air, I felt better
I felt much, much, much, much better

I got back in the car
I got back in the car
don't you know as soon as I got back behind the wheel
I felt all sleepy and tired again
well I can't keep pulling over every fifteen minutes
just because I feel a little sleepy and tired
so I kept on driving
(fell asleep at the wheel)
yes I kept on driving
(fell asleep at the wheel)
I hit a truck
I hit a truck
I got out of the car, walked around the car
and checked it out
totaled

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do to change it
Nothing I could do to make things change
This is my shame (x2)
I felt bad but I keep trying to kid myself about it
Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake
I felt bad but what's done is done
Just one thing remains
This is my shame (x2)
I know your mad at me
I know you want to cut my throat
I know you think I think it's all a joke
I don't (x2)
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
I woke up and thought
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be ok
Then it hit me like a wave (x2)
This is my shame (x3)
Woh

I got a head with wings
I got a head with wings
I got a head with wings

And I can see so far away
I can see so clear
You would not believe
The view up here

I got a head with wings
A head with wings

Now I'm floating around up here
Way above the clouds
So high
Above the ground

And the only thing that
Holds my head to the ground
Is this
One little skinny string

I got a head with wings
A head with wings

I got a head with, yeah, ohh
A head with wings

I got a head with wings
I got a head with wings
I got a head with wings

And I can see so far away
Yeah, so far away
I can see the shadows fall
Across your face

I got a head with wings
A head with wings

I got a head with, yeah, yeah
A head with wings
A head with wings
Yeah, yeah

She had black hair
Like ravens crawling over her shoulders
All the way down

She had a smile that swerved
She had a smile that curved
She had a smile that swerved all over the road

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong

She had a way of making people
Feel good to be around her
As it should be

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong

And when she laughs I travel back in time
Something flips the switch
And I collapse inside

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong

I hear a voice from the back of the room
I hear a voice cry out you want something good

Candy told me nothing really matters anymore
And when I ask her what she means she says I ought to know
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy says she wonders why we try
I couldn't think of what to say
I had no ready reply
But Candy says I'd like it where she is
She says it's an opportunity that I don't want to miss
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy asked me if she died if I could go on
Of course I said I couldn't and of course we knew that's wrong
But Candy I said Candy no you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland (x3)

Where is the ritual
And tell me where, where is the taste?
Where is the sacrifice
And tell me where, where is the faith?

Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
Find a cure for pain

Where is the cave, where the wise woman went
And tell me where, where's all that money that I spent
I propose a toast to my self control
You see it crawling helpless on the floor

Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
When they find a cure for pain
When they find a cure for pain
Find a cure, find a cure for pain

I'm free now to direct a movie
Sing a song or write a book about yours truly
How I'm so interesting I'm so great I'm really just a fuck-up
And It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache
I got guilt I got fear I got regret
I'm just a panic stricken waste I'm such a jerk
I was honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Is ever cause you pain
Oh
I'm free now
Free to look out the window
Free to live my story
Free to sing along
Oh (x4)
I'm free now to direct a movie
Sing a song or write a book about yours truly
How I'm so interesting I'm so great but I'm really just a fuck-up
It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache inside

Last night I told a stranger all about you
They smiled patiently with disbelief
I always knew you would succeed
No matter what you tried

And I know you did it all
In spite of me

Still I'm proud to have know you
For the short time that I did
Glad to have been a step up on your way
Proud to be part of your illustrious career

And I know you did it all
In spite of me, in spite of me

Late last night I saw you in my living room
You seemed so close but yet so cold
For a long time I thought that
You'd be coming back to me
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
So cruel

And I know you did it all
In spite of me, in spite of me

Let's take a trip together
Headlong into the irresistible orbit
Breathing the cold black space
With the glistening edges
Let's take a trip me and you
Let's go the scenic route
Get to finally (x3)
Get to know each other
Just to be alone (x2)
Just to be alone with thee
Somewhere there's no distracting breeze of information
Leaking through the windows dripping from the trees
Somewhere there's no earthquakes
Of other people's anxious questions
No nervous wrecks going down (x2)
Let's take a trip together
Headlong into the irresistible orbit

Cross my fingers and I hope to God
I knock on wood and pray with all I've got
Cross my bow with a cannonball
I see the writing on the wall hey
There's no map and there's no clue
Of where to go and what to do
Yea who to dog who to ride and who to hold
Forever by your side (x2)
Mary won't you call my name (x2)
Mary won't you call my (x2)
Mary won't you call my name
I fell into the hands of a rich man's daughter
She led me like a lamb no bother
To go and live inside a barn on her Daddy's 90 acre farm
Hide your daughters in the snow and watch out for the undertow
Hold both hands against the door and dig your feet into the floor
Tell ya there's no map and there's no clue
Of where to go and what to do
Who to dog and who to ride and who to hold
Forever by your side (x2)
Mary won't you call my name (x2)
Mary won't you call my (x2)
Mary won't you call my name

Looks him in the eyes makes him reply, Shelia Shelia

Treat me wrong, Honey I don't care
You never liked me much anyways
You told me, "Meet you about half past eight"
You said you'd kill me if I was late, Claire

Oh, Claire

You drove me up and down the street
You used me up like gasoline
I still remember everything you said
That's the reason I had to say away from Claire

Oh Claire

That's funny you know
I don't miss you at all, not even a little
You bitch

Listen young people I'm 74
And I plan to live 60 or 70 more
Yeah I've been all around I've done a few things
And I spent a few nights on the floor oh

Did everything wrong but I never got caught
So of course I would do it all over again
I surprised many people who'd written me off
Years ago, now they're way underground

Nobody asked me, but here's my advice
To a young man or woman who's living this life
In a world gone to hell where nobody's safe
Do not go quietly unto your grave
Do not go quietly unto your grave

Learned a few tricks and I'll learn a few more
And I got enough bullets to fight a small war

Nobody asked me so here's my advice
To a young man or woman who's living this life
In a world gone to hell where nobody's safe
Do not go quietly unto your grave
Do not go quietly unto your grave
Do not go quietly unto your grave
...

That's the beauty of a game of chance
I can't lose forever but I'm doomed to try
Because I keep on hearing a voice inside

Players win and winners play

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day, have a lucky day

And you're just like me and I know you

Give me a kiss hello goodbye what's the difference? Just end everything
You say with a smile, wave goodbye, hello, with that look in your eye
Forwards backwards back it down the drive, the curtains in the window
Wave goodbye hello there's that look in your eye and your crazy smile

I know you and you know me too. I know everything that you're going through and
You know everything that I'm gonna do. You know me and I know you

Give me an invitation and I'll be there unless of course I have to be somewhere

Have your money back

I'm going down now to the riverside
There's a place I wanna be

I'm going to talk to the ferryman
He'll be expecting me
I'm crossing over now to the other side
Life is better there on the other side

The grass is greener there on the other side
And I I get even there on the other side
And everything will turn out all right
On the other side

I'm crossing over now to the other side
The other side
I walked by the church house late last night
Yea I walked by the church house but I didn't go inside

Cause I I once slept with the preacher's wife
She handed me a ticket to the other side
I'm crossing over now to the other side
To the other side

On my first day back, first day back in town
First day, my first day back in town
The clouds up above, they were hummin' our song
Hummin', hummin' our song

My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me

I set my course, sailed away from shore
Steady, steady as she goes
I crash in the night, two worlds collide
But when two worlds collide no one survives, no one survives
And the reddest of reds, bluest of blues
The saddest of song I'll sing for you

And my biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me
Come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me
Come and get me in my sleep

On my dyin' day I might be able to say
I might be able to say
"You know I finally see things all your way, all your way"

Whoa

I was raised super strong in Harvard
If you touch me wrong, I fall apart
I found a woman who's soft but she's also hard
While I slept she nailed down my heart

I run good but I'm hard to start
And my brakes are bad so I'm hard to stop
I found a woman who's soft but she's also hard
While I slept she nailed down my heart

Let's put it to bed, let's put it down
I can't talk about it, not right now
On my dyin' day I might be able to say
On a still sea full of manly rage
On my dyin' day I might be able to say
Where every word explodes in my face
I might be able to say
"You know, I finally see things all your way
I finally see things all your way"

Free love
Oh, what is it?
Free love
Oh, I can't stand it, it's a panic

Normally love costs a bundle and plenty of trouble
But you fooled me, you fooled me
You ran away to Italy, ahh
You fooled me
Yea, you fooled me, you fooled me
You ran away to Italy, ahh
With your psychiatrist
Who's now a scientologist
I should have foreseen this
Business with your psychiatrist

Free love
Don't bank on it, baby
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it, baby
Free love

So the next time
You offer someone your love
You know it
You better run
Run for shelter
Run for help
Run for the nearest downtown lounge in the afternoon
Run for the cynical arms of a stranger
Run for the open arms of an unknown tomorrow
Because love, love, love is expensive, haa

Free love
Don't bank on it, baby
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it
Don't bank on it, baby

Free love
Don't bank on it, baby
Don't bank on it

I'm never going back never going back to you
I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to dig out your picture
I'm never going to look you up someday
Life is very short
You don't love me anymore
So I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to write you a letter
Never going to call you on the phone
I'm never going to drive by your house


I'm never going to catch you coming outside
Never going to walk up your walk
And ring your bell
And feel you fall into my arms
I'm never going to see you (x2)
I'm never going to see you again
Your gone for good

And then he smiles he knows honey's coming back
Honey's going to want some more angel food

Devil made of honey, devil made of honey
Devil made of honey, devil made of honey

She said you'll get me when I'm old and wizened
And not a day before that
The devil said honey it won't be that long
Besides I like to see a little more fat
Yea I like to see a little more fat
You know I like to see a little more fat

Honey white, honey white
Honey white, honey white

I had my chance and I let it go (x2)
Well if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back (x2)
Sometimes I'm too careful

It's going tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Ticking ticking ticking in my hand
It's going tick tick tick tick ticking in my hand


Tick tick ticking in my hand
And if I ever have myself another chance like that

Aah

Got to the driver of my car, an' past the dogs, past the guards
And all of my alarms supposed to be so state of the art
You penetrate my radar, you penetrate my radar
You drop a bomb in my backyard, you penetrate my radar

You played me like a chess game and now you say checkmate
While you go running freely spending money every place
And me I got to hide and I don't dare to show my face
If I am guilty so are you, it was March 4th, 1982

Riding around forever on an empty tank of gas
And an empty pocketbook I better get it to the bank
High up in a glider high up here without a care

I got all the time in the world
I got all the time in the world to spare

(Sandman)
I was once sitting on top of the world
I really had things in my hand
But something went wrong I'm not sure what
And now I'm sitting here at home alone
People they want to give you free advice
Well that's something that I always try
But you get what you pay for that's what I say
And now I'm paying and paying and paying
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
Everything I wanted cooking on the stove
Everything I needed right in the home
I had the best thing you can have
You can have it you can have it now


I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
It's just a fact (?)
Wiped that smile off my face
Put me down in my proper place
But the world just keeps on spinning around
And I'm still hanging around in this world
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch

The defendant will be remanded to the bail if and
Fresh mint in sparkling water and fresh lime so nice
Serve two to four years in the county correctional institution
New mowed lawn a hammock kids playing in a sprinkler
In Canyon City or until such time as the defense
Carefree beautiful woman entwined, sand, fruits, sunshine
Can see no reason for leniency in this case considering
Candlelight red wine, a Caesar salad all in sparkling
An example to others who might be likewise tempted to
Friends, woman's lips, dogs, canaries, woman's hips
And as for you Miss, "Will you please rise and
Face the tranquility and all it's charm?"
And all in blessed privacy, that blessed privacy
All in blessed privacy

Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not lookin' at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue

When I'd like to lean in close
And run my hands against your lips
Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport

So whisper me your number

Whisper me your number

Then come in close and hear you laugh
Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport

So whisper me your number

Candy told me nothing really matters anymore
And when I ask her what she means she says I ought to know
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy says she wonders why we try
I couldn't think of what to say
I had no ready reply
But Candy says I'd like it where she is
She says it's an opportunity that I don't want to miss
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy asked me if she died if I could go on
Of course I said I couldn't and of course we knew that's wrong
But Candy I said Candy no you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave

And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland

Treat me wrong, Honey I don't care
You never liked me much anyways
You told me, "Meet you about half past eight"
You said you'd kill me if I was late, Claire

Oh, Claire

You drove me up and down the street
You used me up like gasoline
I still remember everything you said
That's the reason I had to say away from Claire

Oh Claire
Oh Claire

[Inaudible]
That's funny you know
I don't miss you at all, not even a little
You bitch
I still love you

I still remember seeing you sleep
All twisted up inside the sheets
And I still remember everything you said
Every time I hear your name, Claire

Oh Claire
Oh Claire
Claire

Where is the ritual
And tell me where, where is the taste?
Where is the sacrifice
And tell me where, where is the faith?

Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
Find a cure for pain

Where is the cave, where the wise woman went
And tell me where, where's all that money that I spent
I propose a toast to my self control
You see it crawling helpless on the floor

Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
When they find a cure for pain
When they find a cure for pain
Find a cure, find a cure for pain

I got a head with wings (x3)
And I can see so far away I can see so clear
You would not believe the view up hear
I got a head with wings
A head with wings
Now I'm floating around up here way above the clouds
So high about the ground
And the only thing that holds my head to the ground
Is this one little skinny string
I got a head with wings
A head with wings
I got a head with yea oh
A head with wings
I got a head with wings (x3)
And I can see so far away yea so far away
I can see the shadows fall across your face
I got a head with wings
A head with wings
I got a head with yea yea
A head with wings (x2)
Yea (x2)

Cross my fingers and I hope to God
I knock on wood and pray with all I've got
Cross my bow with a cannonball
I see the writing on the wall hey
There's no map and there's no clue
Of where to go and what to do
Yea who to dog who to ride and who to hold
Forever by your side (x2)
Mary won't you call my name (x2)
Mary won't you call my (x2)
Mary won't you call my name
I fell into the hands of a rich man's daughter
She led me like a lamb no bother
To go and live inside a barn on her Daddy's 90 acre farm
Hide your daughters in the snow and watch out for the undertow
Hold both hands against the door and dig your feet into the floor
Tell ya there's no map and there's no clue
Of where to go and what to do
Who to dog and who to ride and who to hold
Forever by your side (x2)
Mary won't you call my name (x2)
Mary won't you call my (x2)
Mary won't you call my name

My whole brain was out of tune
Whole brain was out of tune
I don't know how to tune a brain, do you?

Went into a brain shop
They said, they'll have to rebuild the whole head
I said, "Well, do what you got to do"

When I got my brain back, didn't work right
Didn't have as many good ideas
Haven't really had a good idea since I got it fixed

Last night I told a stranger all about you
They smiled patiently with disbelief
I always knew you would succeed
No matter what you tried

And I know you did it all
In spite of me

Still I'm proud to have know you
For the short time that I did
Glad to have been a step up on your way
Proud to be part of your illustrious career

And I know you did it all
In spite of me, in spite of me

Late last night I saw you in my living room
You seemed so close but yet so cold
For a long time I thought that
You'd be coming back to me
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
So cruel

And I know you did it all
In spite of me, in spite of me
