When I look into your eyes. I can see a love restrained. But darlin when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same. Cause nothin lasts forever, and we both know hearts can change. And it's hard to hold a candle, in the cold November rain. We've been through this such a long long time, just tryin to kill the pain. But lovers always come and lovers always go An no one's reallly sure who's lettin go today. Walking away. If we could take the time to lay it on the line. I could rest my head, just knowin that you were mine, all mine. So if you want to love me, then darlin don't refrain. Or I'll just end up walkin, in the cold November rain. Do you need some time on your own. Do you need some time all alone. Everybody needs some time on their own. Don't you know you need some time all alone. I know it's hard to keep an open heart. When even friends seem out to harm you. But if you could heal a broken heart. Wouldn't time be out to charm you. Sometime I need some time on my own. Sometime I need some time all alone. Everybody needs some time on their own. Don't you know you need some time all alone. And when your fears subside, and shadows still remain. I know that you can love me, when there's no one left to blame. So never mind the darkness, we still can find a way. Cause nothin lasts forever, even cold November rain. Don't ya think that you need somebody. Don't ya think that you need someone. Everybody needs somebody. You're not the only one.
Talk to me softly There's something in your eyes Don't hang your head in sorrow And please don't cry I know how you feel inside I've I've been there before Somethin's changin' inside you And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight I still love you baby Don't you cry tonight Don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you baby And don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper and give me a sigh Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye Don't you take it so hard now And please don't take it so bad I'll still be thinking of you And the times we had..baby
And please remember that I never lied And please remember How I felt inside now honey You gotta make it your own way But you'll be alright now sugar You'll feel better tomorrow Come the morning light now baby
And don't you cry tonight An don't you cry tonight An don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you baby And don't you cry Don't you ever cry Don't you cry tonight Baby maybe someday Don't you cry Don't you ever cry Don't you cry Tonight
He lost his mind today He left it out back on the highway On "65"
*She loved him yesterday Yesterday's over I said okay That's all right Time moves on That's the way We live an hope to see the next day That's all right
Sometimes these things they are so easy Sometimes these things they are so cold Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two Oh no man don't let 'em get ta you
* Repeat
Sometimes these women are so easy Sometimes these women are so cold Sometimes these women seem to rip you right in two Only if you let 'em get to you
Ya get out on your own And you/take all that you own And you/forget about your home And then you're/just fuckin' gone
There's no logic here today Do as you got to, go your own way I said that's right Time's short your life's your own And in the end We are just Dust N' Bones
Hey you caught me in a coma And I don't think I wanna Ever come back to this...world again Kinda like it in a coma 'Cause no one's ever gonna Oh, make me come back to this...world again Now I feel as if I'm floating away I can't feel all the pressure And I like it this way But my body's callin' My body's callin' Won't ya come back to this...world again Suspended deep in a sea of black I've got the light at the end I've got the bones on the mast Well I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin' I could leave so easily While friends are calling back to me I said they're They're leaving it all up to me When all I needed was clarity And someone to tell me What the fuck is going on Goddamn it!
Slippin' farther an farther away It's a miracle how long we can stay In a world our minds created In a world that's full of shit
Help me Help me Help me Help me Bastard
Please understand me I'm climbin' through the wreckage Of all my twisted dreams But this cheap investigation just can't stifle all my screams And I'm waitin' at the crossroads Waiting for you Waiting for you Where are you
No one's gonna bother me anymore No one's gonna mess with my head no more I can't understand what all the fightin's for But it's so nice here down off the shore I wish you could see this 'Cause there's nothing to see It's peaceful here and it's fine with me Not like the world where I used to live I never really wanted to live
Zap him again Zap the son of a bitch again
Ya live your life like it's a coma So won't you tell me why we'd wanna With all the reasons you give it's It's kinda hard to believe But who am I to tell you that I've seen any reason why you should stay Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway
You got a one way ticket On your last chance ride Gotta one way ticket To your suicide Gotta one way ticket An there's no way out alive An all this crass communication That has left you in the cold Isn't much for consolation When you feel so weak and old But is home is where the heart is Then there's stories to be told No you don't need a doctor No one else can heal your soul
Got your mind in submission Got your life on the line But nobody pulled the trigger They just stepped aside They be down by the water While you watch 'em waving goodbye They be callin' in the morning They be hangin' on the phone They be waiting for an answer When you know nobody's home And when the bell's stopped ringing It was nobody's fault but your own There were always ample warnings There were always subtle signs And you would have seen it comin' But we gave you too much time And when you said that no one's listening Why'd your best friend drop a dime Sometimes we get so tired of waiting For a way to spend our time An "It's so easy" to be social "It's so easy" to be cool Yeah it's easy to be hungry When you ain't got shit to lose And I wish that I could help you With what you hope to find But I'm still out here waiting Watching reruns of my life When you reach the point of breaking Know it's gonna take some time To heal the broken memories That another man would need Just to survive
I see your sister in her Sunday dress She's out to please She pouts her best She's out to take No need to try She's ready to make It's so easy easy When everybody's tryin' to please me baby It's so easy easy When everybody's tryin' to please me Cars are crashin' every night I drink n' drive Everything's in sight I make the fire But I miss the firefight I hit the bull's eye every night It's so easy easy When everybody's tryin' to please me baby Yeah it's so easy easy When everybody's tryin' to please me So easy But nothin' seems to please me It all fits so right When I fade into the night See me hit you You fall down I see you standin' there You think you're so cool Why don't you just Fuck off
Ya get nothin' for nothin' If that's what you do Turn around bitch I got a use for you Besides you ain't got nothin' better to do And I'm bored It's so easy easy When everybody's tryin' to please me baby It's so easy easy When everybody's tryin' to please me So easy But nothin' seems to please me It all fits so right When I fade into the night So come with me Don't ask me where cause I don't know I'll try to please you I ain't got no money But it goes to show It's so easy so fucking easy It's so easy so fucking easy It's so easy so fucking easy It's so easy It's so easy It's so easy so fucking easy It's so easy
I'm reckless and feelin' no pain You know I've got no need to control Livin' with the danger I'm always on the edge now With million dollar visions that I hold Livin' like this never ever Tore my life apart I know how to maintain And you know I know my part

Reckless life I lead a reckless life I lead a reckless life And you know it's my only... Hey, hey - yeah!
She hit town like a rose in bloom Smellin' sweet, said sweet perfume The color faded and the petals died Down in the city, no one cried In the streets, the garbage lies Protected by a million flies The roaches so big You know that they got bones They moved in and made a tenement home
I said nice boys Don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy!
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean Wanted so bad to be part of the scene She met the man and she did the smack Paid the price layin' flat on her back Wanted so bad just to please the boys They ended up just being a toy Played so hard burned her life away Lies were told no promises made
You know nice boys Don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy and I never was!
Young and fresh when she hit town Hot for kicks just to get around But now she lays in a filthy room She kills the pain with A flick and a spoon And in the streets the garbage lies Protected by a million flies You know the roaches so big You know that they got bones Moved in and made a tenement home
Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no baby Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I bet you mama said 'Nice boys don't play rock and roll' Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys!

Keep the demons down And drag the skeletons out I got a blind man followin' me in chains I said he's fun to watch When the world has stopped An I think he's got somethin' to say "You wanna fuck with me, don't fuck with me 'Cause I'm what you'll be so don't fuck with me If you had better sense You'd step aside from the bad side of me Don't fuck wit'da bad side o' me Stay away from the bad side o' me Don't fuck wit'da bad side"

Found a head and an arm in da garbage can Don't know why I'm here Livin' on the run for oh so long I gotta go collect Double talkin' jive Get the money motherfucker 'Cause I got no more patience Double talkin' -I got (lies)- No more patience man
Back in town an'a all new friends They sayin' how ya been? Fucked up and outta place That's how I felt back then Double talkin' jive Get the money motherfucker 'Cause I got no more patience Double talkin' -I got (lies)- No more patience man You dig what I'm sayin'?!
You know you're all alone Your friends they aren't at home Everybody's gone to the garden As you look into the trees You can look but you don't see The flowers seem to tease you at the garden Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care What's it with you man, and this garden
Turned into my worst phobia, A crazy man's utopia If you're lost no one can show ya, But it sure was glad to know ya Only poor boys take a chance, On the garden's song and dance, Feel her flowers as they wrap around, But only smart boys do without
You can find it all inside No need to wrestle with your pride No you ain't losin' your mind You're just in the garden They can lead you to yourself Or you can throw it on the shelf But you know you can look inside For the garden
I wasn't really scared Lost my virginity there, To a gypsy with blond hair But now no one seems to care Like a mouse inside a maze Wandering round 4 daze With a smile upon my face, I never wanna leave this place Only poor boys take a chance, On the garden's song and dance, Feel her flowers as they wrap around, But only smart boys do without Turned into my worst phobia, A crazy man's utopia If you're lost no one can show ya, But it sure was glad to know ya Bye bye So long, bye bye It's glad to know ya Bye bye Bye bye Aw...so long
It's a critical solution And the east coast got the blues It's a mass of confusion Like the lies they sell to you
You got a glass jawed toothache Of a mental disease An they be runnin' round back See 'em line up on their knees 'Cause the kiss ass sycophants Throwin' penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go Watch 'em come in off the streets While they're bangin' out front Inside their slammin' to the cruch Go on an throw me to the lions And the whole damn screamin' bunch 'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs 'R' everywhere you turn Tell me how a generation's Ever s'posed to learn This fire is burnin' and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll
I read it on a wall It went straight to my head It said "Dance to the tension of a world on edge" We got racial violence And who'll cast the first stone And sex is used anyway it can be Sometimes when I look out It's hard to see the day It's a feelin' you can have it It's not mine to take away
Lost in the garden of Eden Said we're lost in the garden of Eden And there's no one's gonna believe this But we're lost in the garden of Eden This fire is burnin' and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll Suck on that
Looking through this point of view There's no way I'm gonna fit in Don't ya tell me what my eyes see Don't ya tell me who to believe in I ain't superstitious But I know when somethin's wrong I've been draggin' my heels With a bitch called hope Let the undercurrent drag me along
Lost in the garden of Eden Said we're lost in the garden of Eden And there's no one's gonna believe this But we're lost in the garden of Eden
Most organized religions make A mockery of humanity Our governments are dangerous And out of control The garden of Eden is just another graveyard Said if they had someone to buy it Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll Lost in the garden of Eden (An we ain't talkin' about no poison apple or some missin' rib ya hear) Said we're lost in the garden of Eden Said there's no one's gonna believe this Said we're lost in the garden of Eden This fire is burnin' and it's out of control It's not a problem you can stop It's rock n' roll
