Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea? What are these crazy questions That they're asking of me? This is the wildest party that there ever could be Oh, don't turn on the light 'cause I don't want to see Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come Mama said, "That ain't no way to have fun" Open up the window, let some air into this room I think I'm almost choking on the smell of stale perfume And that cigarette you're smoking 'bout to scare me half to death Open up the window, let me catch my breath The radio is blasting, someone's beating on the door Our hostess is not lasting - she's out on the floor I seen so many things here I ain't never seen before I don't know what it is - but I don't wanna see no more Mama told me not to come Mama told me not to come Mama said, "That ain't no way to have fun" |

The milk truck hauls the sun up
And the paper hits the door The subway shakes my floor And I think about you Time to face the dawning gray Of another lonely day Baby, it's so hard Living without you It's so hard Baby, it's so hard Baby, it's so hard Living without you Ev'ry one's got something And they're out tryin' to get some more They got something to get up for Well I ain't about to Nothin's gonna happen Nothin's gonna change Baby, it's so hard Living without you It's so hard Baby, it's so hard Baby, it's so hard Living without you |

Last night I had a dream
You were in it, I was in it with you Everyone that I knew And everyone that you know was in my dream I saw a vampire I saw a ghost Everybody scared me but you sacred me the most In the dream I had last night In the dream I had last night In my dream It started out in a barnyard at sundown And everyone was laughing and you were lying on the ground You said, "Honey, can you tell me what you name is?" "Honey, can you tell me what your name is?" I said, "You know what my name is." Last night I had a dream You were in it, I was in it with you Everyone that I knew And everyone that you know was in my dream I saw a vampire I saw a ghost Everybody scared me but you sacred me the most In the dream I had last night In the dream I had last night In my dream |

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles With frozen smiles to chase love away Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Lonely, lonely Tin can at my feet Think I'll kick it down the street That's the way to treat a friend Bright before me the signs implore me To help the needy and show them the way Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today |

Turpentine and dandelion wine

Cold gray buildings where a hill should be
Steel and concrete closin' in on me City faces haunt the places I used to roam Cowboy, cowboy - can't run, can't hide Too late to fight now - too tired to try Wind that once blew free Now scatters dust to the sky Cowboy, cowboy - can't run, can't hide Too late to fight now - too tired to try |
