Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town Wonderin' the hang where To turn each time around Look in your mirror just to see my face Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel When ya dance, I move and they look me in the eye Two way time, baby, it's no lie Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed |

Standing by the roadside
Future in my hands Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold Turn my back to the wind Winter mist along the coast City lights closed down Your empty station there Freight line cuts the ground Freight line cuts the ground *Crystal light shining bright Shine on down for me Moon is even passing by Trying not to see Like a fool I hit that road Did my time at sea Life was only fooling me Oh despair, it bums my lungs Find it hard to breathe The hospital shut their gates I can't get me no peace Wicked people stand and scream Stumble the road Close my eyes, turn out the lights Haven't found a dream Haven't found a dream *Repeat x2 |

Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in She walked up to me and really stole my heart And then she started to take my body apart Living, loving, I'm on the run, far away from you Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast It's only just a moment, she's turning paranoid That's not a situation for a nervous boy Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor She's got the strain and I can't take any more Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in Doctor, doctor |

Going through pages and looking down lines and lines
Space of your life is only passing you by Space child ages as he turns and faces the lie Then after laughter was caught in his throat as he died Fly on homeward Worlds spinning by brings clouds in your eye tonight The space of your life is only passing you by |

Seventeen, a nature's queen
You know what I mean Twenty-one, a long one You can see the numbers run Now you look so peaceful Lyin' there asleep With the wings of God above you Before the spirits meet Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom Shadow earth is closin' in Above the lamps in your street Lucifer goes walkin' Down for you to meet Minutes pass so slowly by The hands on your clock Heavens don't just open You can knock Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom With the darkness closin' in Will the light reveal your soul? Just one sweet kiss On your clay cold lips A long sleep you'll never know Where do we go, where do we go? Where do we go from here? Seventeen, a nature's queen You know what I mean Twenty-one, a long one You can see the numbers run Now you look so peaceful Lyin' there asleep With the wings of God above you Before the spirits meet Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom |

-long, long year I've sat in this place
Baby, baby, what's good I've had When you don't know where I wanna go Find a reason love's left me cold I've got it, time on my hands Been drinkin' with the sailor boy Been tryin' hard to understand Lines here in my hand Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had My lost feelin' made me so sad Tried so hard, the smile on my face Can't get it back a gain, back home with you * repeat * repeat * repeat |

But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need Some folk built like this, some folk built like that But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs But if you want me, you got to take your time Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need But I got everything all the good girls need I ... I love you baby I ... I love you baby But I got everything all of the good girls need And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need |

Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up in my eyes Symbols of the morning comin' on With the love that's got too strong to hold If I'd been so much wiser then I would have known which path to choose Heaven help the lucky one Heaven help you Heard the news come on the radio About the loves and the flame I'd already heard before Baby, two years ago Say it's too hard to return Now it seemed just like a dream I saw and already seen it On my tv screen Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on Don't you think you could show some thanks I just might give you a standin' ovation When I'm here and gone |

*Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll Let it roll Let it roll, let it go Let it roll **She'd skid up, and we really let it down Laying it out, let it roll When these wheels get rolling, let them roll right over you The time will be sound and I'll always put it through Let it roll, let it roll Let it roll **Repeat *Repeat **Repeat |

Was a fast tough woman
Loved to play the clown You won't do nothing about it Break a good boy's resistance down *Know she's got a pistol Laid it down on me She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy You gotta shoot it for me Convinced me that she was worth it Never knew I was her kill And two 45's would do the trick And pay the bills *Repeat **I've really got to get a fast ride out of here Got to get a fast ride out of here Got to get a fast ride out of here Got to get a fast ride out of here now Holding out in my hotel room Police they finally come Had her as the prosecution And my prints upon the gun *Repeat **Repeat |

High flyers, wailing birds
I'm so far out to sea Ships are passing every night Oh, all my boyish dreams * and your every melody With the sea tides tossin' free Never, never holdin' back Rock and rollers drift by Turn to summer, goes so fast Seems I'll never see you One weekend and a photograph Oh, all my boyish dreams * repeat |

Saturday night, we're all on the lookout for some thrills
Try to catch the band's last song Backstage pass really showin' out Feel that's where I belong Sittin' down with all the big stars at the bar I really have a rock vocation From monopedemania to schizophrenia Rise to any situation * of old lost love, where will you go When the show is over Nobody wants to know ** We need to feel Something that's real 'cause you're losin' from the start So be careful with your heart ** Repeat Partners in the next bed and they're dancing cheek to cheek Can't understand their highbrow conversation Yes, you're pretty, who needs a pretty face With a hot lips reputation * Repeat |

Lady love to hang on Played it like a real intellectual Sweet sister your still shaking And your tragedy is never ending Silver shoes you're wearing Every window there you've ever stared in Over my head, over my head Sidewalks of the city Every theater there you've ever played Your comic book impersonations Louise fazenda and buster keaton Over my head, so it's all ** out in the street for just one more matinee Yes, your vaudeville carries on So put a smile in front your man can see Yes, your vaudeville carries on ** repeat * repeat |

Try to make some changes really on the line Given your religion, never ever time All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor Mothers understand it, baby needs some more Head held up to ransom, by a quick hand and a gun Just your education, hard to understand Will the teenage legend make a mark on you Make a big time status, with a pen we'll stab it through ** Mother mary could you ever really feel the same And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy * Repeat ** Repeat |

I really tried my hardest just to make you understand
(what) it feels like to a boy, when he don't feel like a man But you gave me so much money And you would not understand I realize I hurt you, so I stay just as I am * But the whole world keeps on turnin' Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin' But the whole world keeps on turnin' I just roll along There's been one too many mornings And one too many years One of life's delinquents Who just can't take the pace We found out the hard way I hope you understand That my life is just my habit And I had an overdose * Repeat I used to try, I used to try Used to cry, oh I used to cry * Repeat |

* In a dance band competition fox-trotting with my girl
Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away High geared razzle dazzle, recession is the trouble Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away Thirty hours on the floor and twenty partners left Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away Feel so tired it must be a week Nearly on my knees Dance, dance, dance all night Dance your life away ** California, you always seem to have the sun But I never really got near to it And you try your hand at anything you know Just to try and earn a dollar * repeat ** repeat |
