Hey Casanova
You don't look too good But I know times are tough You never found your paradise Like you said you would And it's all catching up It may be that will never change You may never come to your promised land And it's a gray morning With all you have Still you turn your back You're given every chance How can you ask for more than that? But still you have to ask Hey tragic hero Did you get passed by? Well what do all those heathens know... Have a seat, a cup of wine And have a good cry And then it's time to go 'Cause you're living up to your own worst cases You're looking for hope in some pretty strange places And that's a grey mourning With all you have Still you turn your back You're given every chance How can you ask for more than that? But still you have to ask I really need for you to ask With all you have to ask Still you're turning Turning With all you have Still you're turning Turning Hey you lone ranger, Is it cold tonight So far beneath the stars Maybe the desert will do you good |

I guess they think it's what we want
A smooth and easy ride Of constellations of ceiling lights Hennessey and Naugahyde America, America, this is our reward Everything is boring, everyone is bored Maybe a white Maybe a white limousine Maybe a white, white, white, white limousine Who's the smart guy at the wheel Runnin' out of gas Likes to wear a flightsuit and fly around for laughs Maybe a white Maybe a white limousine Maybe a white, white, white, white limousine I feel incentives for the pharmacy Hey I'm feelin' better already I don't want to be clear It's too much for me I'm makin' up Oh, I'm makin' up For lost time For all the lost time Maybe a white Maybe a white limousine Maybe a white, white, white, white limousine Maybe a white Maybe a white limousine Maybe a white, white, white, white limousine We have won the war We have won the war |

Here and there
Haunting my closets and drawers My evermore Now and then Forgetting that everything's changed I call her name And I heard the stories She tried to tell me (But) I don't believe in ghosts I hear a sound Maybe it's her coming home But I'm alone No, I've never seen one I've never been one I don't believe in ghosts So I won't think of her I won't remember I don't believe in ghosts She knows... She knows... |

Turning the wheel to emptiness
They're when you breathe your final breath No one will hold you anymore Haven't they told you baby, You're always alive Always alive Leaving the plane of time and space Leaving the mask of every face Just like the Sun and every ray Might as well smile 'cause baby We all die one day We all die one day Not square, not round The silence in the sound Not short, not long The quiet in the song (It carries you along) Some of the people here believe Reading a book of prophesies Some of you sigh and turn away Nobody knows, so what's the play? You're here now You're here for now And what does it matter anyway Whatever I sing or what you say Taking a chance we place a bet But it ain't gonna get you to black or red This time around This time around No cause, no condition Who knows your position? Not you, no other What will you discover? You never disappear So tell me why you fear Neither are you born Sometimes still you mourn Never do you arise, You're never low or high No one acts, no one is made Nothing glows, nothing fades Nothing fades......... |

One day maybe
When I grow up A son you will have found When I change my ways One of these days I know I'll make you proud What I never say Because of busy days Is all I want for you I'm just not the best At being friends But that's what we should do When I see you happy, When you laugh I'm never sad Fantastic toys And corduroys Everything you gave Took me to school I tried to be cool And you let me get away with it What I want to say A thing I pray For you to shine inside The fighting words How they sound absurd when it's you who gave me life When I see you happy When you laugh I'm never sad I don't want to be sad And you shouldn't be sad We shouldn't be sad What I never say Because of busy days Is all I want for you I want to love Like a mother's son To always see you through When I see you happy When you laugh I'm never sad We shouldn't be sad |

So you wrote me a letter which I thought was really kind
I don't recall which song it was but there was one you really liked And you asked me, so innocently, of my inspiration Why I write the songs I sing, the reasons why I make them Well nothing here is what it seems I'll risk the wreckage of your dreams It's so that you are always shopping To steal away the cash your dropping Listen to me when I say Your fantasies are built to fade So there you are, you're always shopping Don't even try, there is no stopping Don't misunderstand me, it always makes me smile When I can serenade you as you're rollin' down the aisles On this journey of your souls desires, the paradise of goods You're doing just exactly what I think you should Well nothing here is what it seems I'll risk the wreckage of your dreams It's so that you are always shopping So while you roll you're really rocking Listen to me when I say Your fantasies are built to fade So there you are, you're always wanting What you don't have is always haunting There's still one thing I have to say - my confession's not complete I've made is sound as if all this has nothing to do with me There surely is not anything further from the truth When I have pretty things to gain and only useless things to loose I wish there were another way But I must keep the wolves at bay I hope that you don't find it shocking Rock and Roll is built on shopping If you're searching for my soul Come check out my chains of gold Grab your purse and let's go shopping For lingerie and silky stockings Lets go shopping together So that we can find ourselves So that we can buy ourselves Let's go shopping together 'Cause We are always by ourselves 'Cause We are always by ourselves Lets go shopping together So that we can find ourselves |

Playground
Home-land A countryside to save Blue skies Air-space Soldiers to raise And sacrifice Strong armed Christians Oiled up and fed Safe as Houses In aprons of lead And sanctified Omens and Signs A star-field On red lines Turn those blind eyes To fantasies And white lies How much Longer This empire of night The smallest Subjects All begin to fight And multiply Omens and Signs A star-field On red lines Turn those blind eyes To fantasies And white lies Omens and Signs A star-field On red lines Turn those blind eyes To fantasies And white lies Head down Brace yourself Here it comes |

If I crack up
Lose my head Try to hid beneath my bed And leave the television on So I don't think of what's gone wrong I beg the dawn Break through, save me Rescue me Wake me from the dead My weary head in your embrace If I spin out And off the rails Build myself a bed of nails And take the whole world down with me Into my dime-store tragedy Where will you be? Break through, heal me Sing to me Kneel beside my bed My weary head in your embrace Wake up, sunrise I may be alone but I'm alive And I will find a way to you Sunrise, you saved me this time You never even had to try And you opened up my eyes Sunrise, you treat me so kind I was lost, I was blind And you opened up my eyes |

How many times on this merry-go-round
Over and over again Up on the horse was a weak, foolish child Who never believed it would end How many smokes 'til I'm satisfied How many drinks 'til I'm happy How much of the day will I watch fade away until there is no one to ask me I was gone, so gone Gone, so gone For a while How many times will I sleep by your side Turning and dreaming and scared Of fair grounds that shut down as you ride away And my horse won't go anywhere I was gone, so gone Gone, so gone For a while I was wrong, so wrong Wrong, so wrong For a while How many songs will I try to write All with the same thing to say I've got two tickets left, won't you please stay with me For the very last ride of the day |

All the storms and oceans
All the sheltering sky All this earth and she and I Wait until it happens Wait, the moment will come Wait, but all those are already one And she asks me How many sunrises Will we watch from start to finish How many will we witness? And my answers Are only ever surmises Maybe a handful of times ...Before the next life Here, we stop beneath the leaves Here, a moment to stay Here, a gift of pale green color Here above her And she asks me How many sunrises Will we watch from start to finish How many will we witness? And my answers Are only ever surmises Maybe a handful of times ...Before the next life A kiss, prayer, a laugh, a song She won't try to tell me what's right from wrong A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss She won't try to tell me I need more than this All my answers And all my surmises Will never do it justice She'll just have to trust it We'll wait here Until the sun rises We'll watch from start to finish With no one as our witness |
