Ryan Adams

The sun is shinin' hard at my feet
And the city is an animal ready to eat
It's raining like a nosebleed
Cigarettes and sweets
And I Feel it coming on
Bloody as the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974

She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed
She stabs me with her eyes
dirty knives hidden in her dress
And it's rainin like the bombs in my room
when I'm alone
And I swear I think I knew you before
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974

Do you want it, do you want it, do you want it, come on
Do you want it, do you want it, come on just bring it on
Nothing gonna stop it now, you're nothin' til you want it,
come on Do you want it,
do you want it, come on, just bring it on
It's 1974
It's 1974
It's 1974
It's 1974

I was a poor little kid
in the lungs of new York
Just like a motherless
son of a bitch
Loaded on ephedrine
looking for downers and coke
Like a sun that
just wouldn't set out
on the horizon
Singing and dancing songs
to them nighttime songs
I took a train and
came up from Carolina
I was looking for
something to do
Nothing I found could ever
quite occupy me
With nothing to gain there's
always nothing to lose
Singing and dancing
to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till
the morning comes

I should've died a hundred
thousand times
Teetering stoned
off the side of buildings
Nobody loved me and
nobody even tried
You cant hang
on to something
that wont stop moving
Singing and dancing
to them nighttime songs
I got arrested down
south for hitting a clerk
I spit in his face
the bastard knocked me out
He leered at my lady
and then he touched her face
Thank God she had the
money to bail me out
Singing and dancing
to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till
the morning comes
Bar room boogie just
like in the movies
Go on put it to me shake it
till the rattles come on
take me where
morning don't come

I had a dog named Jet
when I was a kid
Until one day
he wandered off and died
One night I went in the yard
and dug him up
And he laid in the box just
like a pile of bones
Singing and dancing
to them nighttime songs
I used to get loaded and
baby Id drive your car
It seemed like there was
always a cop
Coming behind me
and following close
as they could
Eventually they'd
just trail off
Loaded and cruising
to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till
the morning comes
Bar room boogie just like
in the movies
Go on put it to me shake it
till the rattles come on
Take me where the morning
don't come

I think I died a hundred
thousand times
Mixing liquor with
mystery pills
Mystery pills and
heroin mixed into cocaine
Face down out
on the riverside
Most of my
friends are married
and making them babies
To most of them
I already died
And whatever it is about
you I've always hated
Is something about myself
I just couldn't hide
And I'm going going baby
I'm gone
So cry me a river
to the other side
of the morning
To where the
morning don't come
To where the
morning don't come
To where the
morning don't come
To where the
morning don't come
To where the
morning don't come
To where the
morning don't come
To where the
morning don't come
To where the
morning don't come

Look at this ocean with everyone drowning
Idiots screaming and everyone sinking in slowly
We're surrounded
In the yellow lights of the city wasted as bodies
In bed with somebody a touch away with nothing to do
We're surrounded
I'm really dying here
I'm really dying here
And I'm afraid, no I'm scared

She started freezing, lungs all collapsing
The momentum is passing, but the moment is eating us whole
We're surrounded
Put the guns in the water, they're turning to vodka
Triggering nothing we're sinking the sea takes the ship
And I'm really dying in here
I'm really dying in here
I'm afraid. I'm afraid. No, I'm scared. No I'm scared.
I'm just scared. Just let me down.

I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
You're not moving
I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
You're not moving
I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
And you're not moving

Look at this ocean with everyone drowning
Idiots screaming and everyone sinking in slowly
We're surrounded
In the yellow lights of the city wasted as bodies
In bed with somebody a touch away with nothing to do
We're surrounded
I'm really dying here
I'm really dying here
And I'm afraid, no I'm scared

She started freezing, lungs all collapsing
The momentum is passing, but the moment is eating us whole
We're surrounded

I'm really dying in here
I'm afraid. I'm afraid. No, I'm scared. No I'm scared.
I'm just scared. Just let me down.

I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
You're not moving
I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
You're not moving
I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
And you're not moving

I don’t know why I let go
I want to be your friend
Flowers grow through my window and I love you again
Oh, I love you oh
When you laid me down into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
It’s God shining through to me I guess
It’s God shining through to me I guess
I love you Amy
Do you still love me?

I go to the places where we used to
I feel sad
I am out here looking for you
Sometimes I pretend
Oh, I miss you oh
When you laid me down
Into your beautiful garden
Flowers and the love in my arms
Is God playing evil tricks on me?
Is God playing evil tricks on me?
Oh I love you Amy
Do you still love me?

Did I slip? I know I stumbled
Did I trip? 'cause I know I fell
All's I know is I'll wake up here in my clothes tomorrow
But oh, girl I wish I knew you well
But oh, girl I wish I knew you well
But I'm just sayin' hi,
To your answering bell

Did I run? I thought I was walkin'
Through your inexhaustible gale
The names are changed but the constellations
Are still fallin'
Oh girl, if you could only tell
Oh girl, if you could only tell
But I'm just sayin' hi

Let your tears fall and touch my skin
Then your thunderclouds could rage and wail
Will collect them all for you in butterfly jars
And oh girl, I'll build your wishing well
But I'm just sayin' hi
To your answering bell

Did I sleep? 'cause I musta been dreamin'
Did I weep, 'cause I cried like hell
All's I want is your fortress of tears to crumble

And oh girl, I'd tear 'em down myself
And oh girl, the stories they could tell
But I'm just saying hi

So, I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I'm going to remember
Have you seen the moon tonight, is it full?
Still burning it's embers
The people dancing in the corner
They seem happy, but I am sad
I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had
Does anybody wanna take me home?
Does anybody wanna take me home?
Take me to your house and I'll leave you alone
Of course I will, of course I won't
It seems so tragic, but it disappears like magic
Like magic
Like magic



Can you recommend an education or drugs
Because I'm bored with you already
I'm on Broadway and I think it's a parade
I'm covered in pieces of confetti
And I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I'm going to remember
Dancing and slowly and finding the truth
And it covered in coma
All these people in my life, they seem so in love
Well, I am not
Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop
Does anybody wanna take me home?
Does anybody wanna take me home?
I'm kinda lonely, will you take me home?
Of course you will, of course you won't
Of course I'm crass, it seems so tragic
Of course you will, of course you won't
But I'll disappear, I'll disappear
Just like magic
Just like magic
Just like magic

So, I am in the twilight of my youth

I found your photograph in a cardboard box in a magazine
I can't remember you, remember us or anything
I taught you how to feel, but you just feel numb
They taught you how to feel, but you just feel numb

She comes apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
And it's over

I watch the window and listen for the sound of cars
I can't remember the last time that it was yours
I taught you how to feel, why do you feel numb
They taught us how to feel, but we just feel numb

She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over

She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
And it's over
When it's over

I found your photograph in a cardboard box in a magazine

Hold me up, hold me down
Leave me in the withering pines
Steal my love, steal my kisses
Take 'em to the bartering lines

Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy
Leave it on the table,
to somebody else the money's got a use

Spinnin so hard
I can’t stand
Shadow of a shadowy man
Hold me up, hold my hand
The treasures that she misses make the man

Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy
Leave it on the table,
to somebody else the money's got a use

So hold me up, tie me down
Leave me in the withering pines
Steal my love, steal my kisses
Evaluate the differences in life

Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy
Leave it on the table,
to somebody else the money's got a use

All I want to do is get up get up get up
In the morning in the morning
And not want to die tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

I feel alright when I think about you
Walking through a star field covered in light
Wasted like you're losing your job you're so fired
Just like the ones you used to make fun of

It's beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta but not
Beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta but not

All I want to do is get high get high get high
In the evening in the evening
And not want to die tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

I'm buzzing like a jar full of lightening bolts!
Wasted like a bum with somebody's wallet
Pictures inside of you and I wasted and sad
I'm past sorry

It's beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta but not
Beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta but not

I do anything I can to remove you but it hurts
From all the shit that we started

It's beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta but not
Beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta but not

Without anyone to love you
What will you blossom into?
Without anyone to hold you
How will you grow?
And in the Wildwood trees
The wild wind blows
And the nighttime crushes the hurricane rose
And with no one to care for you
Who knows
Blossom for me rose
You're the picture of my love
Blossom for me rose
Stretch out underneath the stars
And when tomorrow comes
I will hold you up
Little blossom, shining in the sun
Without any place to go to
How will your soul return to
Without anyone to keep you
Where will you go
And in the shadows of the past
Where you're spinning so fast
It's hard to see it coming
And it never lasts
And with nothing to judge your life by
How will you know
Blossom for me rose
You're the picture of my life
Blossom for me rose
Stretch out underneath the stars
And when tomorrow comes
I will hold you up
Little blossom, shining in the sun
Without anyone to love you
What will you blossom into
Without anyone to hold you
How will you grow

I'd like to say that I tried
it fits in with all the suggestions and lies
and empty tables
with food untouched
I couldn't see the future
I liked the past too much
and I've been going from door to door
like i've got something to sell
wandering like a fool
through the halls of a blue hotel

so go on and rain down on us
go on and rain
go on and rain down on us
I give up ooooh i give up



well there's something about her that's cold
blowing through the trees leaving me raw
the words come out
and they get confused
I get shadowed like a light bulb
on an october moon
and she's inside me like a secret
and I'e got no one to tell
wandering like a fool, through the halls of a blue hotel

so go on and rain down on us
go on and rain
go on and rain down on us
I give up ooooh I give up
I give up I give up

Blue sky when you gonna learn to rain?
And let yourself go blue for once
And let go of the weight you've been carrying
In this house, no one goes to sleep for days,
Its like were working on a mountainside
Trying not to slide,
Into the ocean,

I can take care of you
But only if you want
Imp strong enough to carry you
Across the icy lake, across the icy lake
But I cant fight your blues,
Cause I know I'll lose
What's left of my mind
I cant win,
But for you I will try
My baby blue

My mountain is hidden in a pile of trees
And its the one I'll have to climb,
If I ever wanna see,
Over the ocean
Blue sky
When you gonna learn to rain?
And let yourself go blue for once
And let go of the pain?

You can take care of me
The way I'd like to feel
Underneath the riverbed
Across the icy lake, across the icy lake
But I cant fight your blues
Cause I know I'll lose
What's left of my mind
I cant win,
But for you I will try
For you
My baby blue

I'm as lonely as boys
I'm as lonely as boys
I'm as lonely as monkeys taught to destroy
Anything they learn to enjoy

So pardon me angel
So pardon me angel
Pardon me my love for you is a stranger
That you met some place but ignored

So break and go home
Break and go home
Why don't you leave me, leave me alone?

I'm as lonely as boys
Who are lonely for girls
Who are lonely as monkeys taught to enjoy
Everything they learn to destroy

So pardon me angel
So pardon me angel
Pardon me my love for you is in danger
In danger of becoming a bore

So break and go home
Break and go home
Why don't you leave me, leave me alone?

And break and go home
Break and go home

And break and go home
Break and go home
And go home
I’m the loneliest boy
With the loneliest plan
But I’m ready and I want to understand
That ain’t a woman, that’s a girl

So pardon me angel
So pardon my anger
Pardon me my faith in girls is in danger
She leaves you addicted, wantin' more

So break and go home
Break and go home
Why don't you leave me, leave me alone?

And break and go home
Break and go home

Hi, hello, its me again, don't worry ill talk slow
Wow, you probably heard I went away
Where do we start from?
I know
From the breakdown, into the fold
The breakdown, another black hole
Like a shadow in the light, stand up and be counted
I was born to be betrayed, it's clear that I'm clearly afraid of
So its one for every year
Its pitiful what I hold dear, I throw away
And so, it still comes and goes
It's better now, that I get these bad ideas, I get my dreams confused....wishes
Bad ideas, bad ideas to lie me down and get into the resolve
I forgot, how long it was since I had a thought that wasn't
Dark yet I know I hate myself a lot
The breakdown into the fold
Breakdown, another black hole

Like a shadow in the night
The shows over shows over
I was born to be afraid, alright
And so, its one for every year its pitiful what I hold dear, I throw away
No, it still comes and goes
It's better but I get these bad ideas
I get my dreams confused with my wishes
Bad ideas
Bad ideas
To lie me down and get into the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve

I finally see the light
Down on the east side, wasted like a memory
If I had a car I'd drive
Straight off the bridge into the river, it would empty me

Pretty pictures in a magazine
Everybody is so make believe, it's true
I used to be sad now I'm just bored with you

You're doomed to repeat the past
'Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all your photographs

Traffic sings the songs
Inviting me in to dodge the bullets from an empty gun
If I had a car I'd drive
Straight into the window of a bank I owed money to

Pretty pictures in a magazine
Everybody is so make believe, it's true
I used to be sad now I'm just bored with you

You're doomed to repeat the past
'Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all your photographs
You're doomed to repeat the past
'Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all your photographs

And all the time you're so unhappy
And everything to you's so heavy
But oh my word, ain't you so pretty now
There's nothing to make up now
No one to wake up now
She's starting to break up wow

Pretty pictures in a magazine
Everybody is so make believe, it's true
I used to be sad now I'm just bored with you

You're doomed to repeat the past
'Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all your photographs
You're doomed to repeat the past
'Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all your photographs

Maryann you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said Maryann you're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl
I had a lot of girlfriends
I should have known them
Click your heels and count back from three
Do you want to go back
You should have known that
The butterfly in reverse here is me
Maryann you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said Maryann you're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl
Where'd you want to go to
with nothing beside you
But webbing and curfews and rain
And everything that hurts you
Gets stuffed up inside you
Like butterflies with wings
or other perfect things
We go swimming in the sunshine
Dangling from clotheslines
Seperate and fall into me
And did you ever see me
Me absolutely
Me but all you but still me
Maryann you're better than the world
They took a lot of time getting it right on this girl
I said Maryann you're better than the world
They did a lot of things right on this girl did alot of things right on this [2X]

Oh baby why
Do I miss you like I do
Oh miss my sweet
And the birds all singing blue
And why
And why
Call me on your way back home, dear
Cause I miss you
Honey, I ain't nothing new.

Oh baby why
Did I treat you like I did
Honey, I was just a kid
Bubblegum on my shoe
But you loved me
And I loved you
Call me on your way back home, dear
Cause I miss you
And I just want to die without you
Oh I just want to die without you
Yeah I just want to die without you
Without you
Honey, I ain't nothing new.

What's come to stay from the Cannonball days
but a house and some clothes on the line.
Fired away your drunken brigade
In the streets of New York as a child.
Woman so fine, fine as a girl
Slow like an Italian wine.
Her hair all a mess and a dress off the shelf
But all of your roses have died.

Better luck in the next life
Cuz you're gonna need it dear.
Loved you back then, but i couldn't say when
Cuz all of your roses have died
All of your roses have died.

I tasted your lips with my hands on your hips
Danced in apartment named Nine.
Cats on the sill and my head to your breast
Beating your rhythms divine.
West Jersey Queen with a rattled machine
Tasted the salt through your skin.
Loved you back then, but I couldn't say when
Cuz all of your roses have died.

Better luck in the next life
Go give em some hell and goodbye
Loved you back then, but i couldn't say when
Cuz all of your roses have died
All of your roses have died.

Basked in the heat down on Christopher street,
Bought you a rose from a bum
Left you a note, had it stuffed in your coat
You laughed and said it was dumb.
Broke like a stem, and I guess you're with him
I'm sure that he treats you just fine.
So bottoms up, cheers, baby here's to your tears
all of your roses have died.

Better luck in the next life
I'll miss you, but go on, goodbye.
I feel like a stray from these cannonball days
when all of your roses were mine.
all of your roses were mine
all of your roses........were mine

Rose lived on the south side of town

Until her landlord showed up with two hundred dollar bills
A notice of eviction on the other hand
Now she don't live there no more,
And everyone thinks he drowned,

I pulled into Mecklenburg on them trains
Into a station that got flooded
when they opened up the dam
And broke their connections to the railway lines
So they could blast into the quarry,
And for every load of granite,
We got a ton of worry

One night at the diner over eggs,
Over easy she showed me the length of her legs,
But that gold plated cross on her neck,
it was real
And you don't get that kind of money from pushing meal

I should've told him that you were
the one for me,
But I lied, But I lied,
To most any drifter whose
looking for work is too weird
I met Percy and I married her in July
But if only to be closer to you, Caroline

Percy and I moved down the street
Until we lost two pretty girls
One was seven and one was three
Alderman and Caroline owned
the house right up the hill
Where we laid those babies down
So they could still see our house

Suspicion got the best of old Alderman Haint
He owned an auto parts store off the interstate
But the lord took him home in July
And then Rose spilled the beans
on the day that he died

I should've told him that you were
the one for me
But I lied, But I lied
Tied up to concrete at the bottom of the quarry
With a tattoo on his heart that spelled out "Caroline"
He was silent but his rosary
Drifted into the custody
Of a sheriff that was just deputized

And I was down at the banquet hall
When two guys came up, pretty angry and drunk
And I'm still here at the banquet hall
At the banquet hall
Where the gun went off, in the Carolina Rain
In the Carolina Rain, in the Carolina Rain
Oh, Caroline

How can I explain to you
What you did to me with words
Words just like the ones you used
They mean nothing at all
Buy they caterwaul, caterwaul, caterwaul
Through my lonely hall

Selfish and so conceited
By the way you destroy me
Words just like ones you used
They mean nothing at all to you
But they caterwaul, caterwaul, caterwaul
Through my lonely hall

Caterwaul
Caterwaul
Caterwaul

Every night I read this novel about you
Holding roses in the pouring rain
But the ending's tore up, trying to hail a cab
Think no one can read you, but I can

Well we move into a house down on Cherry Lane
And watch the world go by
Am I'm missing a page

I want to be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home tonight
Staring into her eyes and then try and explain it
But it's written in a language that was meant to fuck you up
And I can never get close enough
But I lie
But I lie down on her pillow
And you feel like you was going away
Going away when you got no place to go
But back in her arms lying on her pillow
Curled up with a book down on Cherry Lane

The glass it hits the floor and you're walking away
But I want to be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home anyway
Stare into her eyes and then try to explain it
Try to explain it away
I want to be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home tonight
Stare into her eyes and then try to explain it
Try to explain it away

But that shit just fucks you up
And I can never get close enough
I can never get close
I can never get close enough
I can never get close enough to you

Took a walk with you
In the shadow of my shoes
Danced around the broken blues
In the dirty summer rain
Moonlight on the cars
Parked in single file at the bars
With a thick and rosy smoke
Waving its busted hand

Bringing you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't hear the sound
Run through the river and head to town
Pretty little moon with it's head hung down
Chin up. Cheer up.
Chin up. Cheer up.

"Alright, that's you"

I took a walk with you
And I busted up my shoe
In an old yellow canoe
Out in Hollywood
You called the police
But they didn't care the lease
On your place had run out
Your landlord straightened his hat


Bringing you down, can't bring you down
Bringing you down, can't bring you down
Bringing you down, can't hear the sound
Run through the river and head to town
Pretty little moon with it's head hung down
Chin up. Cheer up.
Chin up. Cheer up.

Oh, the city rain
It floods the city streets
And in my city bed
Out of my fuckin' head
Is it snowing in space?
God I wish I could talk to you
Is it snowing in space?

And all the city snow
Freezes the Chelsea in ??
It stones the Chelsea girls
It stones the Chelsea boys
Is it snowing in space?
God I wish I could talk to you
Is it snowing in space?

How does your body feel today?
I forgot to ask
Genius in a hospital bed
With briar-patch hair, just isn't fair
Takin' bullets for the team of bad boys, how is it up there?
Takin' bullets for the team,
I really miss you
I really miss you
I really miss you
I fucked you over a million times
I fucked you over a million times
I fucked you over a million times
And you died, you died, you really died
Died, died, you really died

I am going to push them way
Fall into the leaves of the winter trees
Drowning, slowly, lonely, my city of rain

Oh, the city rain
It floods the city streets
And in my city bed
Out of my fuckin' head
Is it snowing in space?
God I wish I could talk to you
Is it snowing in space?

And all the city snow
Freezes the Chelsea in ??
It stones the Chelsea girls
It stones the Chelsea boys
Is it snowing in space?
God I wish I could talk to you
Is it snowing in space?

How does your body feel today?

I fucked you over a million times
I fucked you over a million times
And you died, you died, you really died
Died, died, you really died

I am going to push them way
Fall into the leaves of the winter trees
Drowning, slowly, lonely, my city of rain

Mirrors in the room go black and blue
On a Sunday morning in Saturday shoes
We don't choose who we love
We don't choose

In a Sunday suit, with the Saturday beat
She don't love who she chose
She don't need what she do

Daylight comes in exposin'
Saturday bruises and cold roses
Cold roses

Nothin' but the sunlight'll help you grow from underneath your bed
You can't see the window
We don't choose what we see
We don't choose

Fortunate and angry just like a child
All that money buys you medicine but can't buy you time
We don't choose what we love
And she don't need what she got

Daylight comes in exposin'
Saturday bruises and cold roses
Cold roses

Cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses

When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face
Will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater
With an old love letter

I wish you would
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear
And the mannequin's eyes
Do they all look like mine
You know you could

I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
Behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

I wish you'd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometimes
I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could

When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face
Will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater
With an old love letter

I wish you would
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear
And the mannequin's eyes
Do they all look like mine
You know you could

I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
Behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

I wish you'd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometimes
I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could

So, it's how the story goes.
Can we cut to the scene where I'm holding you close.
She moves, moves like a pendulum blade
Cut, all the words that I said.
The only difference is . . .
The only difference is . . .
The truth
The truth is I miss you.

Cry on demand.
How'd you learn to?
Cry on demand.
Teach me if you want to.
Though you don't have to.
I just close my eyes and think of you.


Real. Real like a plastic bouquet.
That thrives on the smoke from an old fireplace.
And dies every night with her face on the news.
Nobody cries, they just smoke and stare and their shoes
The only difference is . . .
The only difference is . . .
Nobody can cry
It's hard to do
For most folks, without a reason why

Cry on demand.
How'd you learn to?
Cry on demand.
Why would you want to?
Just close your eyes and think of me
I take back everything I said.
She can't hurt me, and I can't hurt you
It's like were already dead
Cry on demand.
Cry on demand.
Cry on demand.
Why would you want to?
Cry on demand.
Teach me if you want to.
Though you don't have to.
I just close my eyes and think of you.

She ain't lonely now
See her shuffle 'cross the floor
Yeah, she's happier now
See her smile and say 'come on'

Let's dance all night
Let's dance all night
Let's dance all night
Yeah, I think she'll be alright

I ain't lonely now
Yeah, I've got someone I love
Someone I think about
Someone for me to take care of

And dance all night
Dance all night
Dance all night
Yeah, I think I feel alright

She ain't lonely now
See her shuffle 'cross the floor
Yeah, she's happier now
See her smile and say 'come on'

Let's dance all night
Let's dance all night
Let's dance all night
Yeah, I think she'll be alright

I was never near
Just a shadow on your walls
I was never here at all.

Dear Candy...

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy...

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
And I was never here.
I was never here.

You were never mine.
I was never yours.

Whoah, Candy.
Oh, Candy.

Do you see me in your dreams?
Do you whisper my name?
Do you hear when my static rings in your ears?
Candy

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy...

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
And I was never here.
I was never here.
I was never here at all.
Oh, Candy

Dear Chicago,
You'll never guess.
You know the girl you said I'd meet some day?
Well, I've got something to confess.
She picked me up on Friday.
Asked me if she reminded me of you.
I just laughed and lit a cigarette,
Said "that's impossible to do."
My life's gotten simple since.
But it fluctuates so much.
Happy and sad and back again.
I'm not crying out to much.
Think about you all the time.
It's strange and hard to deal.
Think about you lying there.
Those blankets lie so still.
Nothing moves out here in the cold.
Nothing breathes or even smiles.
I've been thinking some of suicide.
But there's bars out here for miles.
Sorry about the every kiss.
Every kiss you wasted bad.
I think the thing you said was true,
I'm going to die alone and sad.



The wind's feeling real these days.
Baby, it hurt's me some.
Never thought I'd feel so blue.
New York City, you're almost gone.
I think that I've fallen out of love,
I think that I've fallen out of love,
I think that I've fallen out of love . . . with you.

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The water’s higher.
Desire
Desire


With no secrets. No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire


You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire

So, tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold your head feeling paranoid
Sweet sixteen for a schizoid

So, tell me how you feel now you're the only one
Held your head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke with the poison

Hey, come on everybody, do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical

So tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold your head feeling paranoid
Runnin down the street from a mergatroid

So tell me how you feel
Now you're the only one
Held your head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke from a crooked gun

Hey, come on everybody, do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical

Hey, come on everybody, do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical

Hey, come on everybody, do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical

Do Miss America

I hate this old place
And what it represents
And I hate who I was
And who I ended up since
But if you learned how to swim
Just in case you'd drown
Don't ask her for the water
Cause she'll swallow you down

And she's ten miles of peace
And the hardest of nights
And her belfry's got an arch
But her rooftop's all right
But down here in the sewer
I'm smelling a rat
Don't ask her for the whiskey
Cause her water's all that

And what horses we rode
Through what somber fields
With our lovers at war
And the dust on their heels
And the infidels screamed
It's all but a lie
Don't ask her for the water
Cause she'll teach you to cry
Don't ask her for the water
Cause she'll teach you to cry

And her weapon of choice
Is a red patterned dress
And a sack full of stones
With her hands on her chest
And a book full of quotes
And a tight fastened lip
Don't ask her for the water
Cause you'll sink like a ship
Don't ask her for the water
Cause you'll sink like a ship

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me to you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb, in bloom

Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man who won't let himself be

Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath

Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Bury me softly in this womb
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
In a tomb, in bloom
(Oh I want to be inside)

Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Let's take a ride to the easy plateau
Where the cold don't come and the wind don't blow
Moonlight flickers on the water below
The orange grove blossoms
In the orange grove
Bad nights lead to better days
It doesn't matter but I think about it anyway

I want a easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
For awhile, for awhile, for awhile
For a little while

Sleepyhead, come on let's take a ride
To the easy plateau in the back of your mind
Up through the alley, take the door under the stairs
My head ain't feeling nothing but cats and rocking chairs
Bad nights lead to better days
It never happens but I think about it anyway
I want an easy plateau
Some place to hang my head
I want an easy plateau
Some place to hang my head
For awhile, for awhile, for awhile
For a little while

How do I hold on to you
If I can't hold on to me
How do I hold on to you
I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head for a little while

I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
An easy plateau

For you Id do anything
Tear myself in two
Just to hear you breathe

Calculate the changes that in time
Turn to nothing and then multiply
Yourself by pain,
And you're not even close Elizabeth

Over you I will never be,
I wish I knew why
It never comes to me,

I'm waiting for someone who just wont show
And every night it
feels like there's no tomorrow
Not that you will ever know,

Where ever you are I hope you're happy now
I'm caught in a dream and I cant get out
I'm caught in a dream
I'm caught in an endless dream

And I'm not strong enough to let you go,
And I have tried everything
But that
Elizabeth

Enemy fire
Enemy blanks
Enemy roses
Red coloured tanks

It's too late baby
Baby, it's too late
Learn how to change and maybe I could stay

Enemy fire
Enemy planes
Enemy roses
And red coloured chains

It's too late baby
Baby, it's too late
Learn how to change and maybe I could stay

English girls are pretty when they play guitar
Crazy like a day just a-breaking I ain't sure what for
Ain't got a mother or father or place to fall
She got a brother in the blues, but he doesn't know the blues at all
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you but okay, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean

She's got eyes as pretty as a pair of jewels
Falling down a canyon like a couple drunken criminals
She had a messy bedroom on the edge of town
I ain't ever been good enough to ever keep around
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you but okay, alright.
Said you didn't love me, didn't mean a thing, English girls can be so mean
But, ohh, look at you now
Ohh, look at you now
Mmmm, best I've ever seen
Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink

Tall drink of water, she's a Norfolk waterfall
Little daybreaker, she's a shootin' like a cannonball
Crazy like a rocket when you're coming through my radio
Kept me in your bed till the wintertime turned to fall
Fall time coming, and I guess my little bird can sing
Come on Elizabeth, a come on a Bethany
Come on further, I'm tired and I want to sleep
My little dove flew, and I guess she was done with me
Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you but okay, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean
But ohh, look at you now
Ohh, look at you now
Mmmm, best I've ever seen
Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink

Kiss me on the lips when my heart just laughed it off
Words may move, but they're never moving fast enough
Celebrate the differences, I celebrate the songs you sing
Just three words, my love: you meant everything
You meant everything
You meant everything
You meant everything

You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing so how i am to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
You an i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows
He says her name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon
He says her name, he says it and i know what's up
You come to me sometimes when i'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a canyon
And i forget whatever it was i was thinking about
With everything changing how am i to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
With out and i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows

You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home

Black birds slow
and softly breaks a glass of wine
Broken bluesy whisper sing to me tonight
Well, everybody wants to go forever
I just wanna burn up hard and bright
I just wanna be your firecracker
And maybe be your baby tonight
Maybe be your baby tonight

Lady, your kicks of silence
cough into your room
Kiss me slow
and softly make me dream of you
Well, everybody wants to forever
I just wanna burn up hard and bright
I just wanna be your firecracker
And maybe be your baby tonight
Maybe be your baby tonight

So when does the plane go down
'Cause I'm ride it till it hits the ground
Then go out with a fight
'Cause I just wanna be your baby tonight

As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
I bet you miss your friends

As simple as a breeze
Tugging hard upon the sail
Been moving through these streets forever
From Istanbul to Amsterdam
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends

As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends
Miss your friends
God, I bet you miss your friends

Slowly
Coming over me
Like fire and ice
Confusion
All to the ground
Stone me
Like you own me
The strangest moving patterns
All flow through this city
Strummin'
As she's cumin'
She starts a revolution
But never shows up
So holy
Give me coma
Alkaline
And mainframes
Into a kiss
Cities destroyed
And so pretty
The patterns of illusion
Burn through the ground
And I'm a faker
Faker
I'm a faker
I'm a faker
I'm a faker
Vampire
Coffins to kiss
I'm a faker
I'm a faker
Morning may crawl
Fuck you
And fuck the universe
Ah, etc.
Fuck the universe
Fuck the universe
Fuck the universe
Oh, ah, etc.

Here's a picture of your lonely Fridays
Turned to nothing on a Friday night
Firecracker with a pile of empties
Detonated with a lonely fire
I see your face, I hear your voice
I touch the phone and wonder
Is this explosion gonna set me reeling?
Or just another thing to pull me under?
If you could give me anything tonight
Just a wink, or even just a sigh
I'll be okay, because I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign, to come
Are you the one?

And I was breathless on a Sunday morning
And I was speechless on a Sunday night
For a lack of better understanding
Felt like an engine that just didn't need a tire
I see your face, I hear your voice
I touch the screen and wonder
And I been waiting for the sun to tell me
It's just been sitting here, I don't know why
If you could give me anything tonight
Just a wink, or even just a sigh
I'll be okay, because I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign, to come
To come
I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
To come
I've been waiting for a sign

Riot on the streets, the touch beneath the sheets
It's only gonna make me love you more
The cops they got the guns, the night destroys the sun
It's only gonna make me love you more

This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make me love you more

Moonlight on the beach, sweet amphetamines
It's only gonna make you love me more
Bottles and the cans, the idiots go dance
It's only gonna make me love you more

This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make me love you more

They say love is hell,
But I've only been laughin' ever since I fell
It's only gonna make me love you more
The lord will have his way but I'm just a call away
It's only gonna make you love me more

This old world, well, it was mine to take
Faith can keep you warm, but I'll teach you how to shake
And I'll come to you like a little girl
It's only gonna make me love you more

We're going to win
Put your troubles behind you
And go on to bed
Let go of the worry
There's so much nobody understands
Don't live your life in such a hurry
Life goes by us all so fast
And the sun will come up again
And I will be here
If you get scared just hold my hand
Tomorrow is yours and who knows
Maybe we'll win the whole shabang
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Good morning sunshine
A new day begins
And the hustle and bustle of the traffic greets you kindly,
I can tell because you're smiling
C'mon give 'em everything that the winning demands
Just one more ribbon Rose
Before the mantle place caves in
And the sun will come up again
And I will be here Rose
If you get scared just hold my hand
Get out of that dress
Go on to bed
The bar is closed...
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose

It's happening baby
They're putting up the chairs
Zaking the money
And all we can do is pray
Pray for tomorrow
So close your eyes
So close your mouth
And do this all in time to the music
That screams like a child
in the back of your mind
In a clown's saloon
So goodnight Hollywood Blvd, goodnight,
See ya soon
Goodnight Hollywood Blvd, goodnight,
see you sometime
Yeah, right
Run away baby
Back to your lonely house
You wanted the honey
But you were only just stinging yourself
It's hard to watch
So close your eyes
And I close your mouth
And I do this all in time to the music
That dance like fools set on fire
Flailing their arms in a room full of whores
So goodnight Hollywood Blvd, goodnight,
See ya soon
Goodnight Hollywood Blvd, goodnight,
see you sometime
Yeah, right

Hello Gracie you're a good little girl
It's a beautiful world oh when you're out in it
Last time I saw you playing in the yard
You were running with children and the old people were smiling
Do you miss me would you know me at all?
If you walked by my house would you smile and turn the corner?
Blow your kisses oh make it feel worse
You know you gotta make the best of the time got has given you

I scratch your name into a wall on the beach with my keys on the side of the pier
I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying with you mid-summer
In the grass in the fields

Nobody was right Nobody was wrong, but somebody had to go
Nobody is here so nobody is gone, hello, goodbye, hello
Hello, hello, hello

I scratch your name in my arm with my keys on the beach on the side of the pier
I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place
Down the block far enough away it's like I'm not here

You're in my heart and you're in my soul, so I have to let you go
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, but I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go

I've been a desperate man
I've been sheltered by a lonely dream
There's a stranger here
Looking back above the bathroom sink
Every night I throw you out
Leave you stranded on the boulevard
You now that I use you up
I used you like I used 'em all
Well the band's singing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're all gone.
Yeah, you're all gone


If I could have a simple love
How would it feel and what would it mean?
I'd only trade you away
For Mary Magdalene
Oh, it wouldn't make me a saint
And it wouldn't make me the king
And I wouldn't have to wait
Wait around for the real thing
Well the band's singing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're all gone.
Yeah, you're all gone


Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're all gone.
Yeah, you're all gone
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Heart stops beating, all the words worth repeating
She is dancing but not singing, is it maybe that she doesn't know the words?
She's dressed up, but don't worry, she's got friends
Snowflake eating, she is mildly self-defeating
And the secrets that she's keeping they are really only dangerous to her
Ships ain't sinking
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
Because tomorrow comes and no one calls

She stops grinning when the room it starts spinning
She is losing all her winnings, she's angry but it's just the alcohol
She's all fucked right up, it's okay, man, she's got friends
'Cause we are here to help her sing her songs
We are here to help her sing her songs
Because tomorrow's gonna come
Tomorrow's gonna come, and no one's gonna call

This isn't Christmas, this is Chinatown and those are pretty lights
Just use some more and put 'em on your make-up dolls
A painting on the underneath that never smiles on the scene
Is just like Christmas if it was Halloween

Someone taught her it's okay to be a martyr
Like an educated angel, be a rat, you know in all the things you love,
Well okay
Priceless pictures, she's collected iceless fixtures that is freezing from the people
She's chosen out to help her through it all
Whatever
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
We are here to help you sing your songs
Because tomorrow's gonna come
Tomorrow's gonna come, and no one's gonna call

Here comes that shit again
I've got a halloweenhead
Head full of tricks and treats
It leads me thru the nighttime streets
Black cats and falling trees
Under ladders always walking
Salt shaker spills just throw it over your shoulder, babe
I've got a bad idea again, i've got a
Halloweenhead, halloweenhead
Head full of candy bags
Costume shops and punks in drag
Head full of tricks and treats
Places where junkies meet
And it leads me thru streets at night
That's alright, i just watch i don't go inside
It's all the same old shit again
I got a halloweenhead
I got a halloweenhead
Lord, i got a halloweenhead
Guitar solo
I got a halloweenhead
Lord, i've got a halloweenhead
I got a halloweenhead
Oh lord, i've got a halloweenhead
Here comes that shit again
I've gota halloweenhead
Head of tricks and treats
It leads me thru the nighttime streets
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown
I've got a halloweenhead
Lord, i've got a halloweenhead
What the f**k's wrong with me, god i'm a halloweenhead

I told everybody I was late
But I was hiding in the back
Hiding in the back my hands would shake
Happy Birthday I'm your birthday cake

And I'm lit, and I'm baked
And I'm tired, I tried to escape
From the fight, I got untied
I was wrong, you were right...
I was wrong, you were right...
Happy Birthday

I told everybody I was clean
But I had clouds in my bath
Listening to music, reading poetry

Nodding off and nearly drowning myself

And it's clear you're clearly upset
Wanna smoke, but my smokes are all wet
I've got two, both of them lit
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday
I'm your birthday cake and I'm lit...

They slapped them on you
Where that bracelet used to be
You know the one I bought you in phoenix
Where they sell old jewellery
I was trying to make you angry
But I didn't feed you to the cops
When I threw that drink in that guy's face
It was just to piss you off
'Cause, honey, it's over

It's harder now that it's over
It's harder now that it's over
Now that the cuffs are off
And you're free
You're free with a history

I heard your wrists got bruised
Must've felt just like old times
I wish you would've grabbed the gun
And shot me 'cause I died
And I'm nothing now without you
yeah, I'm less than nothing now
I'm the one between the bars
And lost forever now
'Cause it's over now

It's harder now that it's over
It's harder now that it's over
Now that the cuffs are off
And you're free
You're free with a history

Free with a history
You're free
Free with a history

I'm sorry

How long's it gonna be, babe
Before I get over you, doll
You're tearin' the stuff right out of me kid
What with you living right up the hall

And I'm tired of living in this hotel
TV and dirty magazines
And I'm tired of livin' on 23rd Street
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night

Maybe you just didn't read me right
The lights went out and you just sitting on the stair
I played your song but I couldn't get the melody right
Why don't you just shoot up like a ball of rubber bands

And I'm tired of living in this hotel
Fire and ashes blowin' cross the sheets
And I'm tired of livin' on 23rd Street
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night

I fell like getting rid of all my things
Maybe just disappear into the fall
The traffic roars and my stomach screams
Sittin' here watchin' roaches climb the wall

And I'm tired of living here in this hotel
Following a rainbow into town
And I'm just trying to get a little sleep
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night

How long's it gonna be, babe
Before I get over you, doll
You're tearin' the stuff right out of me kid
What with you living right up the hall

And I'm tired of living in this hotel
Fire and ashes blowin' cross the sheets
And I'm tired of livin' on 23rd Street
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night

Maybe you just didn't read me right
The lights went out and you just sitting on the stair
I played your song but I couldn't get the melody right
Why don't you just shoot up like a ball of rubber bands

And I'm tired of living in this hotel
TV and dirty magazines
And I'm tired of livin' on 23rd Street
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night

I fell like getting rid of all my things
Maybe just disappear into the fall
The traffic roars and my stomach screams
Sittin' here watchin' roaches climb the wall

And I'm tired of living here in this hotel
Following a rainbow into town
And I'm just trying to get a little sleep
Strung out like some Christmas lights
Out there in the Chelsea night

Lord, I miss that girl
On the day we met the sun was shining down
Down on the valley
Riddled with horses running
Crushing them with flowers
I would have picked for her
On the day she was born
She runs through my veins like a long black river
And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm
Oh my soul

What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
What, what are the words
They use when they know it's over
"We need to talk," or
"I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"
I would've held your mother's hand
On the day you was born
She runs through my veins
Like a long black river and rattles my cage
Like a thunderstorm
Oh, my soul
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
How do you keep love alive?

Two pictures laid on an amp
I'm broken like strings on guitars I can't sell
I saw your car parked next to a bridge
I think it was yours, I don't know, I can't tell
I saw your picture in a magazine
I decided to talk to you, what the hell?
Twin pictures in a magazine
There's two of you, I'm alone, sad rebel
sad rebel

Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Hypnotize

Don't tell me to stay again
I believe in the things I can't see and I'm right
Nobody's gonna shove me down
You can turn me away, but I'm turned on all night
I saw your picture in a magazine
I decided to talk to you, what the hell?
What the hell?
Twin pictures in a magazine
There's two of you, I'm alone, Sara Bell
Sara Bell

Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Hypnotize

Hypnotize
Hypnotize
Hypnotize

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're fast asleep
But I love you now
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My baby, she's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh but when she calls,
I know she's the one
Makes me want her harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see monsters
Still I see monsters

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're flying around
At the speed of sound
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My babies, she's dreaming

Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh when she calls
I know that she's the one
Makes me want it harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see the monsters
Still I see the monsters

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're fast asleep
But I love you now
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My baby, she's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh but when she calls,
I know she's the one
Makes me want her harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see monsters
Still I see monsters

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're flying around
At the speed of sound
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My babies, she's dreaming

Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh when she calls
I know that she's the one
Makes me want it harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see the monsters
Still I see the monsters

Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
In the wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane
Without the numbness or the pain so intense to feel
Especially now it added up through the years

And I, I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Now I am crooked on the outside and the inside's broke

Most of the time I got nothing to say
When I do it's nothing and nobody's there to listen anyway
I know I'm probably better off this way
I just listen to the voices on the TV till I'm tired
My eyes grow heavy and I fade away

Cause I, I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Till I was crooked on the outside
I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Till I was crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
I taught myself how to grow old

I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't see it, don't see it at all

I don't see them, they're lookin' for me
I don't see them, they don't see me
Guess it was invisible

Ice
The ice
Ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle

I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't panic, they know you are numb

I don't see them, they're looking for me
I don't see them, they don't see me
Guess it was invisible

Ice, ice, ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle

There's too many lights in here
And I don't understand

I don't understand
Where I'm goin', whether I'm dead

There's too many lights in here
And I don't understand
I think I hear an angel singin'

Hear an angel softly beside you
Hear an angel ?? anymore
Underneath the ice, beneath all, you died twice

I don't see you walkin' past me
I don't see you, don't hear you
??

I don't hear them, they're lookin' for me
I don't hear them, they don't hear me
Underneath the icicle

The ice
Ice, ice , ice

I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't see it, don't see it at all

For all the hours here that move too slow
There's all this letting go, that don't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
Today is yesterday when you don't know
How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover
Who you want to hide your darkness from
So they won't let you down
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try and be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
For all the hours here that move to slow
There's all this letting go, that won't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
And if were only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger than you
Our love will always be
If we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?

For all the hours here that move too slow

If all this love is real, how will we know?

Will you comfort me in my time of need?
Can you take away the pain and hurtful deeds?
Because when we need it most, there's no rain at all
And dust settles right there on the feed.

Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come?
When the sky can't offer none to me
Cause I will come for you when my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me.

Cause when the calm comes down
We'll take the truck on into town
And buy whatever we can't seem to grow
Work these hands 'til they bleed
Cause I got mouths to feed
And I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove

Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come?
When the sky can't offer none to me
Cause I will come for you when my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me.

Cause it ain't like it was on back in those days
When everyone would offer up their hand
These old bones are worn, I've grown tiresome
I know my time is surely gonna come.

Will you comfort me in my time of need?
Can you take away the pain and hurtful deeds?
Cause I will come for you when my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me.

Lord we married young and stayed where we came from
And gave those children everything we had
Will you stay with me in my time of need?
Though it seems we had such little time for us.

Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come?
When the sky can't offer none to me
Cause I will come for you when my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me.

Will you comfort me in my time of need?
Can you take away the pain and hurtful deeds?
Because when we need it most, there's no rain at all

In California
Forever summer and hot
Into the ocean
You're smiling a lot
On sandy beaches
And the blankets are hot
You're in my arms
And I kiss your heart
Jesus, don't touch my baby
Jesus, don't touch my baby
Jesus, don't touch my baby
She's all that I got

Reflections coming
In through the sheets
You love your baby
are sweet
Out on the highway
We ride tonight
Jesus don't know you
He was just saying "Hi"
Don't touch my baby
Jesus, don't touch my baby
