So long ago I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin up at the funeral at dawn long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin all there's good and nothingness is dead We'll run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin left She hit the end it's just her window ledge Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn Well it smells of cheap wine n cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone and I feel just like somebody else Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin dreams I think of death it must be killin me Hey Hey Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight |

Sirens ring, the shots ring out A stranger cries, screams out loud I had my world strapped against my back I held my hands, never knew how to act And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Below me was a homeless man Singin' songs I knew complete On the steps alone, his guitar in hand His fifty years, he stood where he stands And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Now walkin' home on those streets The river winds move my feet The subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams They stood by me, just like moonbeams And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Looked out the window, down upon that street And gone like a midnight was that man But I seen his six strings laid against that wall And all his things, they all look so small I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star Just like me- he just moved on And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache

Once upon a time
They called me the bleeder Well swimmin' up this river With sentimental fever But this ain't my first ride It ain't my last try Just got to keep a-movin' on If they catch me ever They'll throw me back forever I guess I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds They say you're only sad and lonely And no one is impressed I sent it off in a letter I need somethin' better Than a nail and a hammer To put me back together But this ain't my first ride It ain't my last try Just got to keep a-movin on Got to keep this together Maybe next time is never I guess I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds They say you're only sad and lonely And no one is impressed Sometimes I must confess I do feel a little over dressed Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well Where you threw the penny and where it fell I guess I should I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds I guess I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds They say you're only sad and lonely And no one is impressed |

Alone tonight in somebody's bed
She gone and dyed her hair red She only went and did what she did 'Cause he would drive her home then There's lipstick on her new dress She hadn't even paid yet But it doesn't matter where the money went It wasn't how she paid her rent One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us Now lookin' out across the city lights She thought they'd be a good pair Now he could make a living sellin' cars Maybe she could work there She's gonna pick a star in the night And pray to make it all right She tried so hard not to pick a kite She always prayed to heaven lights One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us One, two, three Marlenas It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us The three Marlenas Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls Maybe a Chevrolet One where I can pull that top down Just let my radio play Now I'm headin' out on that highway I'm goin' right out of state Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone Right through heaven's gates One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us One, two, three Marlenas Ya see no, speak no, hear no evil among us The three Marlenas Three Marlenas Three Marlenas |

One, two boys by the river
Down by the water Tellin' riddles in the dark With fireflies under the moonlight Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister His best friend come along He tried to kiss her (CHORUS): The only difference That I see Is you are exactly the same As you used to be One boy lives in a tower With bow and arrow And the artificial heart With his girl Late in the summer He loaded the cannon With a jealous appetite They say that children now They come in all ages And maybe sometimes old men die With little boy faces (CHORUS) You always said that you needed some But you always had more, more than anyone (CHORUS) |

Lookin' back at the crash site
I don't see me by the roadside Well this heart is on wheels tonight Straight through the ghettos And without lights Now every heart has a blind side Where it learns how to improvise Well this place is a whorehouse tonight Cheap lovers make expensive wives Chorus: But all of these horses That you chase around In the end they are the ones That always bring you down This invisible city Where no one sees nothing We're touching faces in the dark Feelin' pretty is so hard Now all of these voices And all of these noises With all their illusions of choices They've come to my door With one dozen roses The imitation of good faith Is how you stumble upon hate It may have been the first of mistakes When we held on too loosely Then opened the gates (chorus) Now I try not to tell lies But there's pressures from inside So I've learned how to compromise Good people for alibis (chorus) |

Man, you oughta finish what you've started
You can't leave me here alive Well I know it started as a fist fight But you've got me covered up in hives I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree But when all this indecision reigns So aimlessness that helps me see straight You got me walkin' up a tightrope With vaseline from my head to my feet You got me lookin' into blindfolds But I know you've got your hands all over me So when all these imitations fail Just don't look back 'cause I won't be there Chorus: Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just what it was all about Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just why you push me around Well I'm doing time inside a grapevine Little things amuse little minds Well, nothin's free except a little bit of bad advice On how to live on only water, bread and rice I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree So when all this nighttime vision fails I'll lose all these chains and slip out of this jail (chorus) repeat |

I feel pretty good, I feel all right
And I've been thinkin' maybe, I could spend the night I know you've been sad, I know I've been bad But if you'd let me make you ribbons from a paper bag Josephine, you're so good to me And I know it ain't easy Josephine, you're so sweet You must taste just like sugar and tangerines I won't make a sound Sleep on the ground When you wake I will Drive you into town I missed your smile Your schoolgirl style But I never had much fun Maybe the very first mile Josephine, you're so good to me And I know it ain't easy Josephine, you're so sweet You must taste just like sugar and tangerines Don't you know I watched you walkin' home from school Your friends on the old playgrounds You never looked so down Won't you come and help me with these cuts of mine? I've disconnected my heart and cut myself on the wires Josephine I know I was wrong, I knew all along But I got so far from my home I never thought I'd be so lonesome Josephine, you're so good to me And I know it ain't easy Josephine, you're so sweet You must taste just like sugar and tangerines |

Senorita
Looks like you ain't done nothing good women ain't supposed to do Oh no no no no I seen her downtown 'Bout an hour ago Behind the glass at a peep show I got nervous 'cause I don't know Can she see me behind that window? It's almost nine and I'm back in line I can't get the girl with the Spanish tears Out of my mind I've got to make her mine, all mine But somethin' is wrong She don't belong She oughta be back where she's from Maybe back home is Mexico City Man, I don't know But she sure is pretty Chorus: But God don't make lonely girls He sure didn't want 'em in His world Well, God don't make lonely girls Yeah, yeah, da doo doo doo Now when I make that girl all mine I'm gonna stand by her Once I get inside of Her barbed wire Once I get inside I bet she'd look good in a brand new dress She never felt good in her fish net She's got to be this towns best mess But it ain't nothin' that her face would suggest (chorus) I gotta make her see I'm a guarantee Oh, if she'd only come along with me Well I can make her see We're gonna take a walk right through these walls 'Cause she's comin' home with me I ain't even gonna touch her at all Man, I'm only gonna lay awake and watch her sleep (chorus) |

She knows just what I like
The angel on my bike She found me down on a two ton anchor Tangled up in wire She always gets it right The angel on my bike I could be killed if the train goes faster Well angel watch my life I can't handle a care I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer It's 45 miles on that highway Angel double prayer I have to sleep with my eyes on the white lines Elvis need of repair I only want to believe That angel it's me that you need And there's only, only one heart on that highway Angel double prayer I can't handle a care I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer I can't handle a care I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer Now it's hard time on these wheels These fairytales Turn to rusted steel and it's Gettin' hard now to believe She's seein' me Angel, please, tell me Can't you see Angel it's only me Angel it's only me Well I can't take a care Man, I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer I can't handle a care Well, I want, but I can't be there While angel's a prayer |

Say when you're alone
It's better 'cause nobody knows you When no one's your friend It's better 'cause nobody leaves you So you turned your back On a world that you could never have 'Cause your heart's been cracked And everyone else's is goin' mad But I hear voices And I see colors But I wish I felt nothing Then it might be easy for me Like it is for you Now all of these people Come up from deep holes Pullin' you down And it's just no use When all the abuse follows you down By the morning you've gone Leavin' me here all alone Sayin' it's no mystery I know that nobody here needs me But I hear voices And I see colors But I wish I felt nothing Then it might be easy for me Like it is for you And I know you believe that you and me don't belong here And the worst we could do Is keep trying to pretend we care But I hear voices And I see colors But I wish I felt nothing Then it might be easy for me Like it is for you Like it is for you Like it is for you |
