When I was down she was full of advice
'Cause she'd been there once or twice With a ring on the side of her nose Wearing other people's clothes She had her highs and she had her lows In between she'd show When she smiled everything else died V let off a good vibe * As if in a dream The one and only V As if in a dream The one and only V Buying shots and breaking hearts She used to wait on us down at the bar Never took as much as she gave She's still giving to this day Staying up half the night Mood swing yet we cried On a cold December day V up and went away *Repeat Staying up half the night Mood swing yet we cried On a cold December day V up and went away *Repeat |

Wasn't much of a union
Denial and confusion Meant something to you, I bet you would have stayed Stumbled on some good times Turned them into land mines You know you can turn the other way You say you've been meaning To sort through all your demons If there's some room, are you gonna let me in? You've been hung dry by your close friends Your inner child's an orphan You're so far down, you don't know where you been So many things you don't know If you want me to leave, just say so * It's the kind of thing I like Curse cast in the night So ill fated So ill fated Goodbye with reservations Regrets and salutations Something in there somewhere that I didn't say It's you I think of only Whenever you get lonely an' I got more than years to give away I've been dying to start living You're just living to be dying We can't seem to find no common ground You hate me when I'm lonely I'm lonely when you hate me Mostly I'm just there to kick around Soaring high and low First to leave, last to know *Repeat It's the kind of thing I like Curse cast in the night So ill fated |

Trains rumble in my head As I breeze along and grumble Think about you instead And a piece of pecan pie And you that's all I want Just a piece of pecan pie And all I want is you Sometimes I get so hungry Think about pie all day Just a little whipped cream Honey, I'm on my way With a piece of pecan pie And you that's all I want Just a piece of pecan pie And all I want is you Just a piece of pecan pie And you that's all I want Just a piece of pecan pie And all I want is you Now, don't you call me key lime You are the apple of my eye Don't you know I'll be fine Whenever you're by my side With a piece of pecan pie And you that's all I want Just a piece of pecan pie And all I want is you All I want is you (*4) |

Ropes hanging down below I see the children smiling No need to let it show * I know, I won't be coming home No more The streets and sidewalk borders Stretch out beyond the scenes The sweet and dark emotions Every day hopes and dreams My God, I know who's waiting Beneath the bedroom floor Her eyes anticipating My each and every move *Repeat All I ever wanted Was to turn from my side All I ever wanted Was to turn from my side The rake is scratching harder The half-drawn window shade Like any empty memory The colors seem to fade My God, I know who's waiting Beneath the bedroom floor Remember summer showers Outside the cabin walls *Repeat |

There's a man on TV claims he killed 23
Burnt their bodies and collected their teeth There's another man at home with his wife and family tree Who agreed this would make a good movie? And I'm sitting here, wondering what this is all doing to me He sold the book rights, and he was set for life A woman on a talk show wants to be his wife Another man decides to purchase his knife A court decides he's got the right And I'm sitting here, wondering how he can ever sleep at night I don't want to walk where he walked I don't want to talk to who he stalked I don't want to walk where he walked First it was a book, and then it was a movie They cut it all up and they put it on the TV The starring role was played by Christopher Lee He was fine, he was something to see And I'm sitting here, wondering what this is all doing to me Oh Lord, I didn't catch how he got caught |

Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me I think about it all the time It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning Here it comes, my peace of mind Cause I'm close, so close, so close I'm close, so close, so close Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing I've been keeping it inside No one cares just how you got there No one cares how hard you've tried But you're close, so close, so close You're close, so close, so close Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught And if you've got a secret It's in me you can confide And if we ever get split up I'll always be on your side Cause we're close, so close, so close We're close, so close, so close |

Why you always want to get the best of me
I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see They're naked and they're following my master who is blind And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart Better get yourself a little street smart Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night Bittersweetheart Without a shortcut, without a head-start Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure My bittersweetheart It's the hardest part Bittersweetheart Are you in there, are you beating Beating me up until I'm bleeding How much blood can you spare Bittersweetheart Think just a drink might get you to the good part Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do, It's a bittersweetheart that'a a hard heart to cure In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart |

The street lights reflect the light in the water The string it snaps and the pearls go sailing And they splash and bounce and roll 'cross the wet street As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings 'round the corner She darts from the eyes of the panic-struck driver Who's racing to the delivery room 'Cause in the back seat his wife is busting out of her womb And the sack breaks and out come the Siamese Twins Who grow up to become the first President With two heads Are better than one He puts his heads in his hands, says I got to put my heads together I can become the best President ever And not just President Fend for yourself Signs his name, takes the blame for all of the names with no shame In their beliefs They adjourn and they leave, and in walks a man With a broom and a knife and blood on his hands And he sweeps everything under the rug And goes home to his kids and gives them a hug But his wife was not there, she had just left a letter That said "you'd be much better off without me" Now his wife took the train to her ex-lover's funeral Who died in the bathroom, hit his head on a urinal When they got together, the knowledge was carnal And the widow was at the funeral, and they had quite a catfight And they fell into the hole where the casket was resting And the preacher just left in the middle of the service 'Cause death was one thing, but women made him nervous And he ran to his car and he drove 'round the corner Then something in the street caught the light in his eye He pulled over, reached down, and picked up a pearl from the gutter And he didn't know what to think And he brought it home and washed it in the sink And he gave the pearl to Sister Mary Teresa Who could not accept it so she gave it to Lisa, A young prostitute who was missing a pearl On the necklace that broke late last night |

You got me going
So get me out of here I should be blowin' In someone else's ear I'm looking forward to looking back On days like today Though I wish you would go away Stay, won't you stay I'm gonna crawl I never felt better just crawling home I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home alone Good to see you, see you later, maybe one more beer I'm gonna crawl home from here Some respond to pleasure Some respond to pain I'm hangin' out to dry In the pouring rain Victims of temptation Never can complain I could use the sensation You see I can't feel pain I'm gonna crawl I never ever said I'd never make it home It's just a stone's throw, a crawl home Good to see you, see you later, maybe one more beer I'm just a crawl home from here I could use someone To drag me out of here I am that someone It's all become quite clear So get me out of here I never felt better just crawling home I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home alone Good to see you, see you later, and I'm outta here I'm just a crawl home from here |

She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems
Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this And she don't know which children belong to which father But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss And the toilet ain't flushing and the toaster is smoking The vacuum don't suck but it needs a new belt But she saw the world through the eyes of a child And remembers how good it was and how good it felt He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work By morning he's a watchman and by night he's a waiter In the late afternoon he works as a clerk And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills The car's repossesed and the child support's due But he saw the world through the eyes of a child Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new She was just six when she turned her first trick Now she's thirteen and it don't make her sick And she does lots of crystal and she owns her own pistol Got a goldfish named Silver and a pimp who's named Rick And some are like customers and some are like patients She'd have gone back to school if she'd just had the patience But she saw the world through the eyes of a child None of the nightmares, and nothing to deny She saw the world through the eyes of a child Yes she's seen it all and she knows they're all lies |

She walks into the outhouse
The cold night breathes into her face The flies are standing still now The moon it spills through the place And she starts wondering it's like to be liked by everyone And like everyone be just like anyone And just wants to be so just like anyone She reaches through the darkness Her fingers touch the porcelain seat She spins and pulls her pants down The cold air holds her like a theif She starts wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen And trying not to seem so just like anyone The door comes screeching open She walks into the evening air She disappears in the darkness All that's left's the faint smell of her hair She's done wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone And like everyone be just like anyone And just wants to be so just like anyone And wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen And trying not to seem so just like anyone |

She's all by herself at the end of the day
She'd talk to herself but wouldn't know what to say Wrings her hands and steps out of the bath The mirror laughs and splits her in half She looks around the room At her carpeted tomb Threw the phone on the floor Left the keys in the door Tell me when does life begin She got in the car and looked up at the stars And made a wish She held her breath and considered death And in the rearview mirror She looked back on her reflection She was a long way from she wanted to be And a long way from perfection Tell me when does life begin She chickened out and she called triple-A And told them the way After she paid they fixed the car She got on her way and she drove past the bar Where no one bought her a drink at She always though it was 'cause she was too fat And now she knows those places blow Or maybe it was her nose Tell me when does life begin |

Dear mother, what can I say
It's been so long since I went away And yes, I miss the comforts of home But I guess I'm better off on my own No one told me people could be so cruel Nobody told me about any of this in school Still nobody understands the things that I don't understand I've nothing to write home about Nothing I have figured out Still I have the same old doubts Nothing to write home about Dear John, that ain't my name I'm just hangin' 'round to take the blame I'm filled with guilt, I'm filled with shame Too much or not enough it's all the same And no one wants to talk about the loss No one wants to talk about the cost Every one just looks away, just like any other day I've nothing to write home about Nothing I have figured out Still I have the same old doubts Nothing to write home about Who can teach me how to change my ways Who will come and save the day Who will tell me what to say When there's nothing left to say Nobody told me about any of this in school No one told me I'd be taken for a fool And everyone just looks away, and tries to make it through the day I've nothing to write home about Nothing I have figured out Still I have the same old doubts Nothing to write home about |

Holed up in the dressing room without a dress
Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess And I knew all about my surprise party I was spoiled and depressed Hey I acted surprised and I told lots of lies Yes I did my best Stop the truck at the truck stop, I need something to help me crash Food stamps, checks and credits cards, but they only accepted cash There was sweat beating on my brow My heart was beating out of my chest So I stole everything they couldn't give away Yes I did my best And I did the best that I could do With all the mess that I've been through What did you expect me to do I did my best for you I was waiting for a chain reaction with the missing link Waiting for that trickle-down forever circling the sink I was tired of being tired I could not get no rest So I kept sleep-walking and talking in my sleep Yes I did my best And I did the best that I could do With all the mess that I've been through What did you expect me to do I did my best for you |

Two boys on a playground
Tryin' to push each other down See the crowd gather 'round Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life Moving backwards through time Never learn, never mind That side's yours, this side's mine Brother you ain't my kind You're a black soldier, white fight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight? Keeps the kids off the streets Gives 'em something to do, something to eat This spot was a playground This flat land used to be a town Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride Sure like to feel some pride But this place just makes me feel sad inside Black gold in a white plight Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride I don't care 'bout no wheelchair I've got so much left to do with my life |

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch bunin' I was a key that could use a little turnin' So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I could't keep Promised myself I would't weep One more promise I could't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep there's no way out This time I have really led myself astray *Run away train never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I Should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mistery seem so faded I can go where no one else can go I know,what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train Everything seems cut and dry Day and night. earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it *Repeat Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain A little out of touch. little insane It's just easier than feelin' with the pain *Repeat Runaway train never coming back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems to stay |

In a dream I've never had Cause I just can't live like this in a world like this I just want a kiss goodbye And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I sometimes get annoyed I know just where I'm at This is my song of joy And now I know there are no secret trick, no correct politics Just liars and lunatics And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I would not take it personally, it's just the child in me I never really knew how much I had Woe is me, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had |

Blowing through my losing streak
Bought the farm on a dead-end street Nothing ever grows under your sun Filling voids with emptiness And driving past your old address Loneliness, two has turned to one They welcome you with broken arms Tell you they don't mean no harm Do they mean anything at all? Feeling crowded by my company You can't hate but parts of me I know there's a new myth on your floor Staying up in 409 The days are yours, the nights are mine Burned out everything except the door It's like breaking out of broken homes They tell you they don't eat their own Searching for one thing to call my own To call my own There's a gold mine in the local scene Get nine lives, you need thirteen Paid the price, landed on all fours You used to mean the world to me Scared to death of what that means So it don't mean nothing at all I welcomed you with broken arms You know I don't mean no harm Do I mean anything at all? (ooh, ahh) They all come from broken homes Tell you they don't eat their own Searching for one thing to call my own |

Seems this love makes matters worse I'm stuck in this cafe Lost along the way Moving to keep strong When I'm feeling myself burn It don't matter let it hurt It tells me I'm alive When you saw me in California I was lost in a dusty haze Now that I know you You feel so far away If I only had a car Wouldn't be here in this bar Trying to get to you As I'm waving you goodbye Following the line Trying to get to you Still the echos fill the void Your eyes rolled in your head As you slowly disappeared Still hard to rearrange The distance made it strange I'm still trying to get to you If I only had a car Wouldn't be here in this bar Trying to get to you |

She came from a wealthy family
There were walls inside of walls She walked the widow's walk, so all alone She watched from every window Darkened every door Saw her reflection on every wave that hit the shore Jane, why don't you give a damn? Jane, why don't you stay? Jane, why don't you give a damn? Jane, why don't you stay? Wandered off into the night One eye closed, the other blind Reading the silver side of signs Don't worry, it's too late Some rain don't come down straight Everything you had, you lost before Jane, why don't you give a damn? Jane, why don't you stay? Jane, why don't you give a damn? Jane, why don't you stay? When her scattered thoughts had died The sand upon her feet had dried Among chandeliers and sweet perfume Jane, why don't you give a damn? Jane, why don't you stay? Jane, why don't you give a damn? Jane, why don't you stay? Stay Ooh |

She had a Nova that was tinted green
He took a Greyhound that was a bus From the city of New Orleans The only light that shined in their eyes Was that of a simple screen In a one Bal Harbour bedroom apartment With a vision and a dream Feeling like they sunk already Feeling like they're done Knowing what's been done already Has been done by everyone Deep in Nevada they played it straight They stayed in Reno inside a casino With a 2/4 rate The only life that was in their eyes Was burning like the sun It is this sundowner hellroom confinement Where they remained as one Feeling like they sunk already Feeling like they're done Knowing what's been done already Has been done by everyone Back in Miami Back in Miami, back to the sand He took to running that was illegal She ran a peanut stand The only night he closed his eyes was his final one In a one Bal Harbour bedroom apartment Where his dream begun Feeling like they sunk already Feeling like they're done Knowing what's been done already Has been done by everyone Now they're living in Miami Trying to get down to the Keys Is it lost, is it such a cost When you try to aim to please Down for the dirt nap They took it down for the dirt nap They took it down for the dirt nap They took it down for the dirt nap They took it down for the dirt nap They took it down for the dirt nap They took it down for the dirt nap They took it down for the dirt nap |

If we were just a little smarter
Wouldn't be such fire starters Then you wouldn't have to put me out If times were just a little kinder Carry you as a reminder As is, you say you've got some doubts You say you're looking through me You don't like what you see But I swear It's only reflections on me Seeing through a two-way mirror Looking back it's all a little clearer Or just the line-up of your life All day long you put 'em through their paces Late at night haunted by their faces Darkness fades into the morning light (ooh) You say you're looking through me Scared of the things that you see But I swear It's only reflections on me One more time for old times Come with me Just one last time for all times Seeing you just the same way Differently Could have been a little smarter Shouldn't have been such fire starters Fires they always burn out You say you're looking through me Scared of the things that you see But I swear It's only reflections on me |

Just like the sun, still it's new Bodies being hung for drying Now there's one, guess they're through Making waves in the bathroom The time it saves, it's the last room Hearing sirens on the street Getting closer, please don't stop Race won't be with these feet Even closer comes the drop Making waves in the bathroom The time it saves, it's the last room Ooh, don't leave me now Ooh, don't leave me now Ooh, don't leave me now Ooh, don't leave me now In the chair I thought you were sleeping Your eyes rolled back, your lips blue It was a drag to be dragging You down the hall till you came to Making waves in the bathroom The times it saves, it's the last room Are you in there?

Met a man on a train near Santa Fe
Who was dead a minute as a child Fell off a dock He couldn't swim and his heart stopped A gold snake slid from the sky and swallowed him up He disappeared inside He disappeared inside The train stopped in a field of oil wells A blind girl needed help getting on The man was drunk from a flask half full of rum I shook my head when he offered me some "Que sera," he said and took another swig The train roared up a hill of sickly pines A small boy chased a ball up the aisle As the black mouth of a tunnel swallowed us up We disappeared inside We disappeared inside There we go |

I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
Those starry nights, campfire lights The coyote call, the howling wind wail As I ride out on an uncertain sundown I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the range Looking back it all seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo I was took in Texas, I did not know her name Lord, those southern girls all seem the same Down below the border, a town in Mexico I set out with the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding free with the buffalo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over, I'll turn around And I'll watch my fingers go up and down Up and down That's okay, amigo Let me go Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and let me be Roll me over and let me be Cowboy's life is the one for me |

When I'm with my friends my troubles end
I'm one of the boys, so self employed When we're together, could last forever And I'm almost there I'm away from the boss, at least for awhile I'm away from the girls that cramp my style I'm away from the jerks, I'm away from the works And I'm almost there, I'm almost there And it's happy time, happy, happy time It's happy time, happy time, happy time Got a happy head, so happy, happy time I wish I could be this happy all the time I'll take one of those, and four of those And more of those, and more of those I'm away from the jerks, I'm away from the works And I'm almost there, I'm almost there |

Protect and serve, slice my nerve
Gotta make sure everybody's gonna get what they deserve Make my plea, I'm down on my knees Street cowboy with a badge that says can do what you please Do what you please, do what you please, do what you please Rape me, take me, shine your lights so I can't see Holsters, guns and uniform just don't impress Blood stained streets, he still looks neat Somebody's cryin' for help and he's breaking up my party Please stop breathing down my neck Took away something that's mine, I want you to give it back You gotta give it back, now give it back Walk across my face with your shiny shoes Bow down to the badge and colors black and blue It's a blue night, he rides tonight, a show of strength, a polished fight Take me home, 'cause I'm not alone, I'm not alone The squads breakin' down, but you misjudged power Get your handcuffs ready, 'cause we're coming in numbers |

What are you doing here in my nightmare? (In my nightmare)
Stepping back into the stupidness gets me nowhere (Gets me nowhere) Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares? And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down Wake me up and let me go (from) somebody I used to know From somewhere in my nightmare. Don't you remember the years we got nowhere? (We got nowhere) Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares? And you're playing with a different joker, but there's always one more sucker And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down Trapped at the top of the merry-go-round But it won't let you down. Look at you now - You look like an angel in hell Look at you now - Drown in your wishing well Look at you now - All those strories and there's no one to tell Look at you now Do you think you can find a place for my dreams? |

Shipwreck sailors searching for some fools gold
They're the local drunken boys Been out drinking all night feeling alright We watch them kill each other in a fight Ship of fools, drunken hearts Making yet another new start Ain't it hard to play that part When you've got a drunken heart I can't change the world by complaining You can't change it with a kiss (Be no?) concentrating contemplating No time to find out what we miss Ship of fools ... |

The aim of my time is to fill up my mind
And when it gets too full I forget Now if I'm late and I'm making you wait Then there ain't one thing around that's even funny Seein' things clearly and I thank you so dearly Everything's so true to life when you're not living When it's all a drag that's when you give it all the way put it all in bags, just call it charity You just can't go back You just can't go back Everybody's going their own way Each one is gonna make his day It's more than amusement now You're just killing time (Just killing time) You just can't go back (Just killing time) You just can't go back (Just killing time) You just can't go back Fifteen years later caught in time's incinerator Yesterday's worries are today's But the good times are so near just sitting back and drinking beer You know I'm halfway down the road but I know that I still ain't there Seeing things clearly I thank you so dearly Everything's so true to life when you're not living When it's all a drag that's when you give it all the way put it all in bags, just call it charity You just can't go back (Just killing time) You just can't go back Everybody's going their own way Each one is gonna make his day It's more than amusement now You're just killing time |

Guess I'll be leaving in the morning
By the chill that you gave me I will ride I will tear out my insides just to find a place to hide And I don't want to hurt you anymore You got the dagger but I got the revolver As we rolled and we tumbled to the floor I been ?? is it just these drugs I'm feelin'? And I don't want to lie to you no more ?? ?? till the end A guitar's a man's best friend But these rules were meant to be broken ?? make myself uneasy And I haven't got the guts to make you cry ?? to one thing ?? do something And I don't want to hurt you anymore Now with this advice I will end ?? Some things are meant to be spoken And these rules are meant to be broken |

Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night
Movie cameras rolling in And there goes my hero with his head between his legs And all this time I believed in him Now, what is the sound of snow falling down On the tombstone in the dead of the night? And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight? And where will you be in 1993? Still sitting in the same chair Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner But I've never really been touched there Hey ain't it strange how some things never change Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same? You were thinkin' I was distressed about some universe oppressed But I was just depressed about my last pinball game I've learned to accept and not to expect The respect and neglect that I get I've tried not to forget about what hasn't happened yet And on this I place my last bet Hey did you give what you get Did you get what you give? of your ?? Winning is for winners And I know spring follows winter But I've never really been touched there You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice And you can't find peace anywhere Love's just not for lovers Get off your high horse brother Drop your fist and get out of here |
