Rory Gallagher [기타]

Went down to the station,
Leaned against the door.
Went down to the station,
I...leaned against the door.
I knew it was the Empire State,
Can tell by the way she blows.

Asked the depot agent,
"Please let me ride the blinds".
Asked the depot agent,
"Please let me ride the blinds".
He said, "Son, I like to help you...you know,
But the Empire State ain't mine".

The Empire State...you know she,
Rides on Eastern time.
The Empire State,
She rides on Eastern time,
She's the "rollingest" baby,
On the New York Central line.

It was a mean ol' fireman,
And a low-down engineer.
It was a cruel fireman,
A low-down engineer.


That took my baby away,
Left poor me sitting here.

Engineer blew the whistle,
The fireman rang the bell.
The engineer blew the whistle,
The fireman rang the bell.
My woman's on board,
She's was waving me fair-well.

I'm gonna tell you what that,
Mean ol' train will do.
I'm gonna tell you,
What that mean ol' train will do.
Take your woman away,
And shoot back black smoke back at you.

They'll take your woman away,
And shoot black smoke back at you.
Take your woman away,
And shoot black smoke back at you.
Let's go...

Came home this morning,
Looking half-way like a ghost.
Walked in this morning,
Feeling half-way like a ghost.

Face looked like marble,
My blood burned just like toast.
Face looked like marble,
My blood burned just like toast.

Yeah...yeah

If I had some sense,
I'd tear that building down.
If I had some sense,
I'd tear that building down.

No more gin house,
Just smiles instead of frowns.
No more gin house,
Smiles instead of frowns.

Came home this morning,
Found her crying by the door.
Came home this morning,
Found her crying by the door.

Make my promise,
Won't barrel-house no more.
You've got my word,
Won't barrel-house no more.

I can see the ghost,
Feeling like a ghost.

Came home this morning,
Looking half-way like a ghost.
Came home this morning,
Feeling half-way like a ghost.

Face looked like marble,
My blood burned just like toast.
Face looked like marble,
Blood burned just like toast.

Yeah....

You're feeling haunted,
See those shadows on the shades?
You're stalking 'round the room,
Your name is on a blade.
The darkness 'round your neck
Is like a metal claw,
Who is gonna save you?
Who will hear your call?

Hear you call..yeahh..

You'll never get to heaven,
Putting money in the plate.
Can't bribe St. Peter,
When you're at Heaven's gate.
Right now you wonder,


How crazy things can be,
You dealt your own hand,
Five-card Destiny.

Roller-coaster, feeling from the floor.
Someone stole the, key right from your door.

Just what you needed,
Shadows on the blinds.
Feel so somersaulted,
Trying to keep your sense of time.
Lightning on the windows,
Just to seal your fate.
Who is gonna save you,
When you're at Heaven's gate?
Yeahh....heavens gate.

'KID' GLOVES
Well, they sprung me out of Quentin,
I'm back on the mob's payroll
They can buy my body
Sure they can't buy my soul.
I'm working out of Stockton
Im weighing in at two -o -one
But there's a man in the front row
Sent down by the mob with a gun.
For 'Kid Gloves',I'm back out on the street.
'Kid Gloves', the master to the beat
'Kid Gloves', I'll do anything but dive.
We'll the bought me out of Quentin.
They've gone and placed their bets.
I've got to throw the fight
Just to save my neck.
Saying 'yes' to the set up
Made me feel so cheap
But the street felt so good
Now I've only got myself to beat
A deal is a deal
But you know I just can't win
The mob oughta know
My conscience is wearing thin
For 'Kid' Gloves, I'm back in the ring
'Kid ' Gloves, I'll fight anything
'Kid" Gloves, I'll do anything but dive.
'Kid Gloves', I'm back on the street
'Kid" Gloves the master to beat

'Kid' Gloves, I'm back on my feet
"Kid" Gloves, The master to beat
"Kid" Gloves, I'll do anything but cry
"Kid" Gloves, I'm back in the ring.
"Kid Gloves, I'll fight anything
"Kid Gloves" I'll do anything but dive
Well, they burned me out of Quentin,
They've gone and placed their bets
I've got to throw a fight
Just to save my neck.
Saying yes to the set up
Made me feel so cheap
But the street felt so good
Now I've only got myself to beat
"Kid Gloves, I'm back out on the street
"Kid' Gloves, the master to beat
'Kid' Gloves, I'll do anything but dive

'Kid' Gloves, I'll do anything but cry

"Kid Gloves, the master to beat
'Kid" gloves, I'll do anything but dive

Well, a hurricane is on its way across the Bible Belt
Just watch the sway of the sugar cane
Move from right to left

It could be gone when the morning comes
Should be heading west
Hang around, go in the storm
It's anybody's guess

Still can't find you, still can't find you

Well, sorrow is my middle name
And I'll tell you something else
Since you've been gone, I'm broken down
I cannot trust myself

Been hangin' 'round this lonesome town
Feelin' less and less
What is gonna happen here is anybody's guess?

Still can't find you, still can't find you
Who's gonna hide you? Yeah

Well, a Terraplane just passed my way
Won't give me a ride
Standing on the freeway, the wind is rising high

I could make out, there is no doubt
But can't leave you behind
Still, I cannot find you, no matter how I try

Still can't find you, still can't find you
What can I do? Yeah

You're like a Slumming Angel
Lost on the wrong side of town
Just want to see the pictures
Tell your man, "Turn down the sound"

You're acting wise but aren't you afraid
'Round here you might get blown away

Like a Slumming Angel
Lost on the wrong side of town
Slumming Angel
Lost on the wrong side of the tracks

I saw you ask the poor kid
To take the time to show you back
Don't burn your wings, flying to high
Around here you might just end up dying

Like a Slumming Angel
Lost on the wrong side of town
Slumming Angel
Don't you know your way around?

Straight out of heaven
Don't you know where you stand?
Take off those rose colored glasses
This place is no wonderland

You're like a Slumming Angel
Born on the wrong side of the tracks
Saw you ask the poor boy
To take the time to show you back

Go home to your Daddy
Where you ought to go
Things have changed around here
Don't you know

You're like a Slumming Angel
Lost on the wrong side of town
Slumming Angel
Lost on the wrong side of town, yeah
Slumming Angel
Let me show you around, yeah

Well, it's a straight line as the crow flies,
To a heaven here on earth.
And if you make time, it's a cool drive,
Head down to the coast.
If your taste runs to the gumbo,
Don't know where to go?
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco.

If your head leaks like a strainer,
The sea comes to your door.
A strange sound from the juke-joint,
A mile just down the road.
Believe it when you hear it,
The sound of the rubbing board.
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco.
Yeahh..

Move it over,
Open up that lane.
Roll it over,
Buddy, I'm insane.

You won't feel like a stranger,
You've found a second home.
You can get out of your tree there,
When that music hits your soul.
Bye-bye Big Brother,
'Cause I'm going away,
I wanna listen to the man,
They call Clifton Chenier.

Feel like a statistic,
Feeling shrink-wrapped too.
It's fun-time baby,
You've been too long in school.
Head down to the place,
Near to Thibodaux,
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco.

Move that semi,
Buddy, I'm insane.
It's now or never,
I can't touch the brakes.

Well, it's a stone's throw from the Bayou,
And I can see the sign.
Shining like a beacon,
Right on through the night.
No more airs and graces,
Gotta catch the show.
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco.

I'm walkin' wounded,
Got my heart in a sling.
I've been injected,
Till I don't feel a thing.
You got me hurting,
Where it gets me most.
If I had some sense,
I'd move back to the Southern Coast.

Yeahhhh....

I'm truly wounded
Like a fox in a snare.
I feel inspected,
'Cause I'm caught in your glare.
You've done your damage,
Are you sure that you're through?
Don't cross me no more,
I've had enough of you.

Yeahhhh....

I'm sleepwalkin',


Like an unlit fuse,
I'm breaking out, baby,
Got no time to lose.

I feel suspended',
Got no lust for life.
You drew my picture,
As sharp as a knife.
Time is a wastin',
But the message got through.
Don't cross me no more,
I've had enough of you.

I'm walkin' wounded,
Got my heart in a sling.
I've been injected,
Till I don't feel a thing.
You got me hurtin',
Where it gets me most.
I've got some sense now,
I'm going back to the Southern Coast.

Yeahhhh....yeah.

Cold blue swastika tattooed on my skin
The ice in my veins, the staples in my chin
I've got it carved in my forehead, 'Slave To My Sin'
Too violent for the brotherhood to ever take me in

Gonna write down my law in blood upon the street
To the cadence of a goose-step, heavy metal beat
Wanna purify my race, gonna turn up the heat
Just wanna make 'em die and make the job complete

I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play, the movies I see, the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I like to run my body on heavy heavy fuel
I can punch through a wall, I can kick like a mule
I got a pocketful of bullets and a blueprint of the school
I'm the devil's little soldier, I'm the devil's little tool

I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play, the movies I see, the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I got every kind of chemical pumpin' through my head
I read Mein Kampf daily just to keep my hatred fed
I never ever sleep, I just lay in my bed
Dreamin' of the day when everyone is dead

I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play, the movies I see, the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man
I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a vicious young man
I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a wicked young man

Well you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be
But does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy
Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg
Or a poor man much to proud to beg
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all

Well you can see by the way that they are talking
That it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking
'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying
Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and
don't turn around and wave goodbye at all

They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight
But I wonder how will you feel


With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal
You're not around to deal , yeah

They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight
But I wonder how will you feel
With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal
You're not around to deal , yeah

You can say it's a lie, a joke that you are living
But you know one thing they don't,
You won't give in
'Cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail makes a million circles
But you're gonna fail
Sometimes you just don't understand

Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,
When that drummer hits the rim shot,
It almost busts the snare.
You put on your cat clothes,
And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,
We're gonna cruise on down the line.

Come on and cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.

Well that cat I will be paying,
C'mon and get your share,
I've got transportation,
And I can get you there.

Well I know your daddy's anxious,
That you told a lie,
I guess he's goin' to blow his stack,
If you don't come home on time.

Come on and cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.

Yeah...

Well this feelin' I will pick it,
Just as long as you will stay,
The boys in the band will play all night,
If they would have their way.

If you want to dress up to the night,
And look like something else,
I'm goin' to put on my alligator shoes,
I'll go out to play..

Come on cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.

Well, the fat man plays that upright,
Freeze you at the knees,
This band's in full control,
of 37 and one half keys.

In this full scale commotion,
The place will never drop,
You better leave town gracefully,
If you're too pooped to pop.
You better leave town gracefully,
If you're too stuped to stop.

Come on cruise on out with me,
Well, won't you cruise on out with me.

Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,
When that drummer hits the rim shot,
It almost busts the snare.

You put on your cat clothes,
And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,
We're gonna step on down the line.

Won't you cruise on out with me,
Come on, cruise on out with me.
Won't you cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.

Won't you cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.

Come on cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.

Awwwhhhh...

I've cried enough tears to fill up an ocean,
Surely you see that my world's been broken?

Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through.
Here I am, where are you?
All my days are edged in blue.

You made up your mind and nothing can change it,
You want to be free but I can't rearrange it.

Here I am, where are you?
Tell me please, what to do,
Here I am, broken into,
All my days are edged in blue.

I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there,
'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong.
I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told,
Told by my heart that you really had gone.



I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there,
'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong.
I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told,
Told by my heart that you really had gone.

Yeah....

Our lines got crossed through all things unspoken.
A tangle of knots not easily opened,

Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through.
Here I am, where are you?
All my days are edged in blue.
Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through,
Here I am, where are you?
Can't you see I'm edged in blue.
Ohhh.......

Living on a knife edge I have been but I'm to though to just give in
Moving on down with the longshore men on the docks we're locked out again

I got the Loanshark Blues the Loanshark Blues

Owwww....

Well, a burning fever
Woke me up at the dawn,
I didn't have a choice, I had to carry on.

Well, my engine's overheating
And I'm running out of gas,
I only got two speeds and it's slow and fast.
Yeah..

Well, I got to find a town that's got some action,
Got to find a place that's open late, right away
Owww...

Well, I got to find a town that's got more action,
Got to find a place stays open late, right away

C. C. Mama,
Motorcycle queen,

Yeah...

It's cold, black coffee,
Eggs and grease,
Stop in at the truckstop, I don't want to sleep.

Well, it's a shin-kick morning,
I'm gonna turn up the heat,
I'm racing all the truckers and I got them beat,
You know I'm racing all the truckers and I've got them beat,
Racing all the truckers and I've got them beat.

Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way,
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way,
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way,
Yeah......

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it
The devil made me trip and fall
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
Till I had no chance at all

What did I do that was so bad, to go and get myself arrested?
Just hit town to have some fun, but I ended up in the trash can
There I was in the witness stand, my eyes turned towards the jury
Trying to recall what went wrong last night, but it won't come right back to me

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it
The devil made me trip and fall
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
Till I had no chance at all

The lawyer said, "Son, won't you plead the fifth, and don't speak unless requested"
Using all the words at his command, his skills were sorely tested
Then, to my complete surprise, they went and called a hostile witness
The devil himself, well he took the stand and that's where my case rested

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it
The devil made me trip and fall
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it


Till I had no chance at all

What did I do that was so bad, to go and get myself arrested?
Well, I was just in town to have some fun, but I ended up in the trash can
There I was in the witness box, my eyes turned towards the jury
Trying to recall what went wrong last night, but it won't come back to me

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it
The devil made me trip and fall
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
Till I had no chance at all

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it
The devil made me trip and fall
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
Till I had no chance at all

Well, the devil drove me to it, to it, to it
The devil made me trip and fall
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
Till I had no chance at all, till I had no chance at all
Till I had no mind at all

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure
And when they made you
They made sure they threw away the mould
It comes as no surprise to me
That I wanna be in your vicinity

If I stand close to you, I'm not sure if I'm really there
With my feet on the ground but my head's lost in the air
Oh, how I wish you could see
That I'd love to be in your vicinity

Where would I go, what would I do
If you should run from me?
How does it show when you're to lose
Will you explain to me?
There's something growing
There's something showing
There's something won't let me be

Where would I go, what would I do
If you should run from me?
How does it show when you're to lose
Will you explain to me?
There's something growing
There's something showing
There's something won't let me be

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure
And when they made you
They made sure they threw away the mould
Oh, how I wish you could be
I wanna be in your vicinity

Well, I've heard that one day
Everything comes to him who waits
Well, that may be so, but you know it might be too late
Oh, how I'd love to see
That I wanna be in your vicinity

Yeahhh...

Too much alcohol,

Yeahhh....

I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up a jug of alcohol,
Well, I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up a jug of alcohol.

Ahhh.........

Told the man to put in some water,
But he wouldn't put in a drop at all.

I was drinking my straight alcy,
And I went walking on down the street,
Well, I was drinking my straight alcy,
And I went walking on down the street.

Yeahhh....

Well, my eyes got so heavy,
I nearly fell half asleep.

Well, I like sherry brandy,
My baby sure like gin,
Well, that little girl I got,
Sure put me in the,
Spin I'm in.

Well, I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up a jug of alcohol.

Yeahhh....

I told the man to put in some water,
But he wouldn't put in a drop at all.

Whisky make me drowsey,
And gin can make you think,
Well, a common cold can kill ya,


But, my baby tell me to drink,

I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up a jug of alcohol,

Yeahhh....

I told the guy to put in some water,
But he wouldn't put in a drop at all,
One hundred per cent alcohol,
Well, let me have some.

Well, I like sherry and brandy,
My baby sure likes gin,
And that little girl I got,
Sure put me in,
The spin I'm in.

I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up, pick up a jug of alcohol,

Yeahhh....

I told the man to put in some water,
But he won't put in a drop at all.

Ninety one per cent,
Better make it ninety two,
Ninety three per cent,
Ninety four, that'll do,
Ninety five,
Ninety six,
Ninety seven per cent,
Ninetyeight,
Bartender that's ninety nine,
Make it one hundred per cent,
One hundred per cent,
One hundred per cent,
Wanna try some,
I wanna try some,
One hundred per cent,
Then I won't feel a thing at all.

There's a body in the bay
The cops are taking it away
They said this case was closed
It only shows that you never know

So who are they going to get when the trouble's got to stop
Here's my card I'm the continental op

Jane Doe in the bay, now that's exhibit "A"
Bloodstains on the dress, of the millionaires
But I saw you leaving town, I'm gonna have to track you down
You've slipped through the web and you might have dodged the feds
But who are they going to get when you've outfoxed the cops
Here's my number I'm the continental op

I'm the continental op


Call the agency, we never close
First consultation is free
Check my reputation, check my pose
But first you ought to check my fee

There's a menace on the streets, offering infants' sweets
Don't give this man a ride, lock your car from the inside
He's suspect No. 1, but I guess his race is run
He left a set of prints, he's not so smart as he thinks

'Cause who are they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cops
Here's my card I'm the continental op

'Cause who are they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cops
Here's my badge I'm the continental op

I'm breaking rocks and I'm doing time
She's on the streets with a friend of mine
I drove the car I took the fall
I walk the cell at night I cry 'til dawn
At night I cry 'til dawn
The days are long but time will pass
I'm breaking out I soon will get my change

I'm in my cell it's ten by nine
She's living it up on champagne and wine
I took the rap I have to smile
Time drags by but I'll get loose after a while
Get loose after a while
Deep in the night just like a child

I walk the cell my mind is running wild

I'm going numb from too much waiting
Until my dying day


I'll suffocate from too much hating
There'll be hell to pay

I'm gonna rot from too much waiting
'Til my dying day
My soul is bruised my heart is shaking
There'll be hell to pay

I'm digging ditches I'm breaking stones
Sewing mailbags it ain't no fun
Bread and water my life is complete
Hold my breath 'til I'm back out on the streets
Back out on the streets

Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today

What I see just takes the heart from me
It's all okay they keep telling me
Somehow it feels like failsave day
You know it's almost failsave day

It's not the time now don't go sad on me
Yeah we can run the illusion is free
Let's not just throw this change away
You know it's almost failsave day

And deep inside I hear that something
Like a silent scream
And in the night I hear that rumbling
Keep on hoping that it's just a dream

Wish there was some time to buy or steal


'Cause there's this stranger in the air I breathe
Deep down it feels like failsave day
They're gonna fade us all away

Deep inside I hear that something
Like a silent scream
The voice inside just tells me one thing
Keep on hoping that it's just a dream

What I see just chrills the heart in me
It's all okay but they're not fooling me
You know it's almost failsave day
Somehow it feels like failsave day
You know it's almost failsave day
They're gonna fade it all away

I ant no saint
I can't turn the other cheek
I ain't no saint
But you can cool my temper
By the words you speak
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straight from the hip
I'm falling over, she makes the pieces fit
If I get arrested or in some legal twist
She talks to the judge and gets the case dismissed
I ain't no saint
Won't make it through the pearly gates
I feel alright down hear lord
I think heaven's gonna have to wait
She doesn't tell me how to make a living
Don't lock her love up with a key


If I'm down my head is spinning
Don't call a doctor or a priest
I ain't no saint
Won't tow the party line
I ain't no saint
But you get my nomination
Every single time
I ain't no saint
Won't make it through the pearly gates
I feel alright down here, Lord
I think heavens gonna have to wait
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straight from the hip
I feel alright down here, Lord
I think Heavens gonna have to wait

They say this town will kill you
They say this town ain't got no soul
This town could take a child's smile
And turn it into stone

But don't you think I know that?
This place has cut me to the bone
Trouble crawling up your back
Fear just eats your soul

You say this town will eat you up
You say this town don't have a heart
You try to learn all your lines
And you try to play the part

With all this double dealing
I tell you brother, you'll get smart
Here in Kickback City
You're lost before you start

The people in subways
Look nearly half dazed to me
Renting tomorrow, investing in sorrow
No belief, yeah

Faces in side streets
Hiding like angels from grace
Selling you sorrow, renting tomorrow
You're out of place, yeah

They say this town will kill you
They say this town ain't got no soul
They'll set you up and pull the stitch
'Til you're unraveled on the floor

But I won't let it beat me
Though trouble's knocking at my door
Somehow it's just your smile
That keeps me coming back for more

Yeah, here in Kickback City
Feel I'm goin' down slow
Here in Kickback City
Feel I'm goin' down slow, yeah, yeah

Give me til Monday, that's only a day or two

My wife needs shoes my kids must eat feel so cold, I can't feel my feet
Can't get my hands on one thin dime gonna turn to a life of crime

I got the Loanshark Blues the Loanshark Blues

The roofs got holes, see the sky can't get straight and I have tried
I'm in your debt, I'm well aware I'll break the law 'cause I don't care
Living on a knife edge I have been but I'm to though to just give in
Moving on down with the longshore men on the docks we're locked out again

I got the Loanshark Blues the Loanshark Blues
Give me an offer I can't refuse

I got the Loanshark Blues the Loanshark Blues
Give me an offer I can't refuse

NO PEACE FOR THE WICKED

No peace for the wicked
No way, no how If you've gone and did it
You gotta pay somehow
No use complaining
'Bout the hand that feeds
Now you know it's raining
How come you talk to me
How come you talk to me,
Well your friends in high places
Won't bail you out this time
With all your social grace
It's like a pantomime
Feeling so uneasy
You can't tell friend from foe
Your always looking back
To see who's coming through the door
You're like aloaded heater
Just about to go off the street
You need a baby-sitter
To pick you up if you can't stand the heat
You sold protection
Fed the common fear
Took yes for an answer
You didn't see the tears
Collecting from the loanshark

Soft-soaped on the road to Hell
So many times I've tripped and fell
No chances left
The sky is falling down on me

Yeah....

One step from the demons' fire
Can't stop the train, and flames get higher
Too late to save me
The wall's coming down on me

Yeah...

Broken wishes and broken dreams
Close to the edge, I cut it lean
No regrets
The flame's getting higher on me

Yeah...

Push the tempo, push the time
No excuses, not this time
No way out
The ground's opening up on me

Yeah... oh yeah...

Can you feel the heat?
Coming from the street
Pouring down on me... yeah...

They tried to keep me on a long thin chain
Thanks, but no thanks just the same
You saw it coming
The devil's got the jump on me

Yeah...

Lost soul on the road to Hell
Wind up the motor and ring the bell
No stopping now
The pain's coming down on me

Yeah...

Straight time on the road to Hell
No mercy time at the wishing well
No turning back
The Angels gonna cry on me

Yeah....

Seems to me, I've been all tore down before.
It seems to me, I've been down this way before.

Tears in your eyes baby, don't fool me anymore.
Tears in your eyes baby, don't fool me anymore.

Fool me anymore. Yeah....

I must admit it, guess my race is run...yeah..
I must admit it baby, it's a case of hit and run.

Don't look for me baby, 'cause I'm circling around the sun.
Don't laugh at me baby, I'm circling around the sun.



Yeah....oww....yeah...

Feel six feet under, feel like a drowning man...yeah..
Feel six feet under, feel like a drowning man.

Man overboard, and you won't lend a hand.
Man overboard, you won't lend a hand...yeah..

Seems to me you've gone for broke this time.
Seems to me you've gone for broke this time.

Hung, drawn and quartered.
You've hung me on the line....yeah....

Seven days of thunder eight days of rain
The feeling that I'm under
Is like a ball'n chain, like a ball'n chain

Just round the corner I know a store
Gonna trade in my razor and bay a 44
And I'll come knocking knocking door to door
The feeling in my head is like all out war
All out war third world war

And if they catch me and put me in the chair


You can sit beside me there's plenty room to spare
You are the reason I am in tis fix will you cry for me
When they throw that switch throw that switch

This time they'll lock me up for sure
Throw away the key when they slam the door

City to city town to town
Seven days running
Will they track me down
Will they track me down

The dirty tricks department is working overtime
Trying to stop the candidate from getting this time
The wheels are now in motion all the traps are set
Under this commotion will he walk into this mess

The state's intoxicated they're at the staarting gate
He may never make it to the planned TV debate
He can't fight off the big bucks of the old brigade
He's gotta watch his step in this smear campaign

They called a snap election in the summer heat
This town is reeling backwards
Like a drunk man on the streets

Feed those lies


Bend those minds at any price
Foul or air
As long as he's not there
Election time

Don't believe the papers it's not anybody's race
He's not a rank beginner it's not a children's game
He may get the nomination if he breaks through the chain
Or they'll shoot him down on Main street in this smear campaign

Just watch the party faithful fuel the dream machine
They've fudged up all the issues eat that scandal sheet
The dirty tricks department is nearly half insane
Trying to stop the candidate with a smear camaign

Well, I'm hanging round the depot boys,
Trying to get a job,
I'm so sick and tired of being laid off.

No silver lining, no rainbow's end,
Bills in my mail-box, that's all they ever send,
All they ever send.

Well, I'm hanging round the corner, boys,
Holding up the well,
Feeling kinda sloppy, waiting for a call.

Running out of patience, running out of cool,
Don't turn on the radio, I don't want to hear the news,
Don't want to hear the news.
Yeah...

Well, you sure look good,
Baby, sure look neat,
Sure make sense from your head to your feet.

You don't want to know me now,
But you're gonna change your mind,
I'm going to Fat City, gonna do things in style.

Well, you sure look good,


Baby, sure look neat,
Making all the ice melt when you walk down the street.

You don't want to know me now,
But you're gonna change your mind,
I'm going to Fat City, gonna do things in style.
Yeahhh...

Well, my motor won't run men,
I'm sure it's on the blink,
Ain't had no gasoline since God knows when.

I'm waiting for that woman, ain't she ever gonna show?
Don't keep me waiting, I got some place else to go,
Some place else to go.

Well, I'm hanging round the depot, boys,
Can't get a job,
I'm so sick and tired of being laid off.

No silver lining, no rainbow's end,
Blues in my mail-box. that's all they ever send,
All they ever send,
All they ever send.
Yeahhhhh....

Cold blue swastika tattooed on my skin
The ice in my veins, the staples in my chin
I've got it carved in my forehead, 'Slave To My Sin'
Too violent for the brotherhood to ever take me in

Gonna write down my law in blood upon the street
To the cadence of a goose-step, heavy metal beat
Wanna purify my race, gonna turn up the heat
Just wanna make 'em die and make the job complete

I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play, the movies I see, the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I like to run my body on heavy heavy fuel
I can punch through a wall, I can kick like a mule
I got a pocketful of bullets and a blueprint of the school
I'm the devil's little soldier, I'm the devil's little tool

I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play, the movies I see, the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I got every kind of chemical pumpin' through my head
I read Mein Kampf daily just to keep my hatred fed
I never ever sleep, I just lay in my bed
Dreamin' of the day when everyone is dead

I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play, the movies I see, the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man
I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a vicious young man
I am a vicious young man, oh, I am a wicked young man

I want to plant to the star in the sky,
One you can find at the end of the night.
I want to climb a ladder to space,
Leave without trace, 'cos now is the time.
Things are gonna be so clear,
When I'm light years from here,
In some other space.
Let me take the tear from your eye,
Leave it behind, stay by my side.

Won't you follow me where I'm bound,
Time's for borrowing now.
Won't you follow me, time is tight,
Before things swallow me down.

I've been locked in this cage,
Gonna break away, before it's too late.
I'm gonna re-write the page,
Take the stage, and live tomorrow today.


You'll find the dreams you mislaid,
They won't run away, all the dues have been paid.
Yes, it's time to depart, go with your heart,
Follow the flame.

Won't you follow me where I'm bound,
Time's for borrowing now.
Won't you follow me, time is tight,
Before things swallow me down.

Won't you follow me where I'm bound,
Time's for borrowing now.
Won't you follow me, time is tight,
Before things swallow me down.

Won't you follow me where I'm bound,
Time's for borrowing now.

Well, I just hit town and I flew in by the seat of my pants,
Well, I just touched down and got me some crazy plans.
I'm an ace, I'm a deuce, I'm a buzzin' all over the land,
And it ain't no use to change the way I am.
The way I am.....oh yeah...

Well, I just touched base, been in motion for a hundred days,
I'm wound up like a motor or a rocket in outer space.
I'm an ace, I'm a deuce, wont you put my mind at ease,
Well, I cant slow down, got to take some more of these.
More of these....oh yeah....ahhhhhh....

Wont you give me the green light, give me a chance to move,
Turn on your love-light, you know that I approve.



Well, I just touched ground and I got in by the seat of my pants,
I ain't broken down but I found a new place to land.
I'm an ace, I'm a deuce. I'm a crazy free-range man,
And it ain't no use to change my open plan.
Open plan....oh yeah....

Well, I'm feeling kinda crazy, want to go on a mad-cap spree,
Step on my air-brakes, I gonna let off some steam.
I'm an ace, I'm a deuce, I'm flyin' all over the land
And it ain't no use to change the way I am.
I'm an ace, I'm a deuce, I'm flyin' all over the land
And it ain't no use to change the way I am.
Yeah.....
The way I am.
Thank you mam.

I need a keychain, to lock up all this trouble.
I need a fast train, leaving on the double.
I'm going someplace, that's hard to follow.
Got that feeling, that I should be long gone.

I'm as bad as I can get, playing Russian roulette.
I need a keychain, baby right now.

I'm playing no games, this ain't no water pistol.
Ain't it insane, there's no chance of missing.
No one holds me, you ain't got my number.
If you see me, just run for cover.

Well I'm as wild as I can get, I'm playing Russian roulette.
I got no keychain, baby right now.


Owww....

Owww...
Well I'm in a guided missile, and I'm lost in the sky.
I won't be returning, until things feel right.
I got a poison pen letter, ain't that all I need.
Some pretty woman's, trying to make a ghost of me.

I got no keychain, to lock up all my sorrow.
I need a fast plane, I'm leavin' in a hurry.
I'm going some place, where you can't follow.
I got that feeling, that I should be long gone.

Well I'm as mad as I can get, I'm playing Russian roulette.
Need a keychain, baby, all mine.

Well i fly off the handle
a little too quick
Guess you could call me a nervous man
For the last week or two
It don't take too much
to make me wanna raise my hand
Well it's one of those days
when you'd rather not be
so low down and dirty
your luck's out to sea
Well i fly off the handle
a little too fast
You know friends think I look like an angry man
like bad memory turned up again
I find it hard not to raise my hand
Well it's one of those towns
Where you'd rather not stay


come back and see it
some other day
Well it's one of those nights
when you know you're alone
feeling half crazy
just body and soul
Well my cat won't scratch
or show its claws
It just prowls around the house all day
for the last night or two
I can't eat or drink
I think i'm gonna fade away
Well it's one of those days
When you'd rather not be
so low down and lonesome
your luck's out to sea

Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby, there's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city, I can't come in from the cold
I'm deep in action on a secret mission, contact's broken down
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion, there's a voice on the telephone

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well it sure is dark in this clockwork city, contact's never gonna show
I've got a code which can't be broken, my eyes never seem to close
Well, I'm standing here in the silent city, shadows falling down
I'm disconnected but I don't need pity, the night's gonna burn on slow

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah


Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now ain't it funny that I feel like Philby, a stranger on a foreign shore
I've got my plans and I must move quickly, there's a knock upon the door
Still in transit and I'm close to danger, my cover can't be blown,
It's getting strange and it's getting crazy, tell me, what is going on?

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Four o'clock and nothing's moving, six o'clock and the daylight's stirring
Morning comes, must be moving on
All night long my mind's been burning, makes me feel such a long, long way from home, home

Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby, there's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city, I can't come in from the cold

Well you always were a problem
Always running wild
Trouble is your middle name
You know you're the wayward child
You always get your feet wet
You always play with knives
Watch that you don't cut yourself
You know you're the wayward child
They call you the wayward child
Well you've always gone your own way
Sometimes you play with fire
Well can you run forever
Before you run right out of time
Will you run right out of time
Nothing's gonna change you


It ain't no use
Well who is gonna tame you
Tie you in a noose
Well no one's gonna change ya
Ain't no use
And no one's gonna tame you
Tie you in a noose
Well you always were a problem
Never meek and mild
Life is just a street fight
Well you know you're the wayward child
You always get your feet wet
You always play with knives
Watch that you don't cut yourself
You know you're the wayward child x3

Well, the rain ain't fussy about where it lands,
It'll find you hiding no matter where you stand.
It's gonna rain brother, and it's gonna rain hard,
When the blues comes calling with it's calling card.
It ain't too funny when you'd rather die,
Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply.
To your love sick letter that you wrote in tears,
About feeling so bad for a million years.

Watch out brother, be alert,
But whatever you do, don't show that hurt,
Don't show that hurt, show that hurt.

I've been subjected, I've been so distressed,
Come back baby, to clean up this mess,
Clean up this mess.

It ain't so funny when you'd rather die,
Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply.
To your lovesick letter that you wrote in tears,
About feeling so bad for a million years.

Yeah, the rain ain't fussy about where it falls,
It rains on one like it rains on all.
But when it falls brother, it's gonna rain hard,
When the blues comes calling with it's calling card.

Watch out brother, be alert,
Whatever you do, don't show that hurt,
Don't show that hurt.

When I'm gone?

Who you gonna have to love you?
Who's gonna carry your business on?

Yes, I would marry you,
But I'd marry you too soon,
So I guess you're gonna have to wait,
Until after your honeymoon.

Well I left my home in Vicksburg and startet travelling north
Made it to New Orleans as the bus was taking off
The citizens' committee was giving away the fare
Saying, "If you don't like the south, boy, just ride on outta here"
Ride on, ride on Red, ride on
Gonna ride off to my freedom
And make those Northern States my home.
We made it into Shreveport, where we were supposed to eat
I got myself a sandwich and ate it on the street
Ride on, Louisianna Red, ride on
Gonna ride on to your freedom


And make those Northern States your home.
We made it into Little Rock, we made another state
took the whole of the U.S. army to make one school integrate
Ride on, ride on Red, ride on
Gonna ride on to your freedom
And make those Northern States your home.
Well I live here in New York and I am doing fine
Have myself a ball above the Mason-Dixon line
Ride on, ride on Red, ride on
Gonna ride on to my freedom
And make those Northern States my home.

Seven days of thunder eight days of rain
The feeling that I'm under
Is like a ball'n chain, like a ball'n chain

City to city town to town
Seven days running
Will they track me down
Will they track me down

This hotel bar is full of people
The piano man is really laying it down
Even the old bartender is as high as a steeple
So why tonight should I wear a frown?

The joint is jumping all around me
And my mood is really not in style
Right now the blues flock to surround me
But I'll break out after a while

Well, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay

Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay

Why ask how I feel?
Well, how does it look to you?
I fell hook, line and sinker
Lost my captain and my crew

I'm standing on the landing
And there's no one there but me
That's where you'll see me
Looking out on the deep blue sea

There's a song on the lips of everybody
There's a smile all 'round the room
There's conversation overflowing
So why must I sit here in the gloom

This hotel bar has lost all its people
The piano man has caught the last bus home
The old bartender sleeps in the corner
So why must I still be here?, I don't know, let me tell you

I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

Well, I'm a million miles
I'm a million miles, I'm a million miles
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, oh, oh yeah

Admit it baby, you've gone and broke your word
Now ain't it crazy, I believed every word I've heard
Imagine baby, we were just like one
But that's it baby, I believe you've had your fun
I'm mad when I'm mad and I'm mad with you right now
I'm mad when I'm mad and I'm mad with you right now
Yeah, someone told me time and time again
To watch you closely, but I didn't heed a word they said
Now something matter, but I know in time


You'll go your way and walk right out of my mind
Who cooled your goose, who took the wind out of your sails?
Who cooled your goose, who took the wind out of your sails?
You blew it baby, now look what you've done
You made me fall down, now you wanna run
Supposin' baby, we had just now met
Well, I guess I'd fall again, so why should I have some regrets?
Just a fool for you baby, you know I just can't say no
Just a fool for you baby, you know I just can't say no

If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot
If I was the atom then you'd split me into three
But when I want to see you, baby
How come you lock your door on me?
If I was a baby you wouldn't let me fall
If I was an outlaw you wouldn't have me caught
If I was a tiger you wouldn't have me caged
If I was somebody else you would act your age
You'll miss out if you leave me out of your day and night
I will try to make you see and hear what I got to say


It's all about me and you, alright
If I was a blind man then you'd make me see
If I was a deaf man you'd give me hears to hear
If I was a lame man you'd give me legs to walk
But if you were true to me, baby
You would listen when I talk
If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot
If I was the atom then you'd split me into three
But when I want to see you, baby
How come you lock your door on me?

I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.
Well, I don't want it all, just want a little bit.

Just a eeny weeny bit,
A teeny weeny bit,
Of your love.

Turn your love down low, just want one bit.
Turn your love down low, just want a little bit.

I want a eeny weeny bit,
A teeny weeny bit,
Of your love.

Yeah...

Well, I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.
Well, I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.

A teeny weeny bit,
Of your love.

Just a eeny weeny bit,
I want a eeny weeny bit,

Eeny weeny bit,

Eeny weeny bit.

I could sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie.
I can't keep my eyes open,
No matter how I try.
I gotta sit down,
I can't stay on my feet.
I been up all night,
I been walkin' the street.
Oh yeah...

Looking for my baby,
But everywhere I've gone.
Tell me I just missed her,
It's gone on too long.

Well, I'd go up on a mountain,
And I'd fight a wild cat.
Walk over Niagara,
And all the way back.
Get lost in the jungle,
And I'd live up a tree.

That's what I would want to do,
If you would stay with me.
Oh yeah...

Looking for you baby,
Gone from pillar to post.
Wverywhere I'd just missed you baby,
By a minute at the most.

Well I'm looking for you baby,
In the cafe's and the bar.
All the places is glad to know you,
And they say you cannot go too far.
But you've gone far enough baby,
If I find out I've done nothing wrong.


Don't have to ask who's the fool,
I won't be the one.
Owwwww.......not a loser...

Well, I would sleep on the tail-plane,
Of a Jumbo Jet.
Walk over the Ocean
And I'd never once get wet.
Go skating on an iceberg,
And that's what I would once do.
Lay it down a dozen times,
Just to hear you say,
"I Love You".

Looking for you baby,
But everwhere I go.
Tell me I just missed you baby,
By a minute at the most.

Well, I could,
Sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie.
I can't keep my eyes open,
No matter how I try.
I gotta sit down,
I can't stay on my feet.
I been up all night,
I been walkin' the street.
Yeah...

Looking for you baby,
Everwhere I go.
Tell me I just missed you baby,
You know, it's gone on too long.
Yeah..
Gone too long baby.
Yeah..

Tattoo'd lady,
Bearded baby,
They're my family.

When I was lonely,
Something told me, where,
I could always be.

Where I could,
Wish for pennies,
If we had any.
You'd meet me down,
At the shooting gallery.

Yes I'm a,
Fair ground baby.
Wonder what made me,
Fall for the pearly queen.

I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.

I'm not fooling,
When I say I got no schoolin',
Never like the class bell sound.

From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be.

You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn.
Alright

Now hear it on the loud speaker say,
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see,
Yeah he's a death cheater,
Some kind of central heater,
Be sure to save a seat for me.

Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie,
She's no baby,
The law came,
And tried to close her sideshow down.
But soon she had the D.A. cheering,
The police chief wearing,
Her garter for a crown.

I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.

Tattoo'd lady

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure
And when they made you
They made sure they threw away the mould
It comes as no surprise to me
That I wanna be in your vicinity

If I stand close to you, I'm not sure if I'm really there
With my feet on the ground but my head's lost in the air
Oh, how I wish you could see
That I'd love to be in your vicinity

Where would I go, what would I do
If you should run from me?
How does it show when you're to lose
Will you explain to me?
There's something growing
There's something showing
There's something won't let me be

Where would I go, what would I do
If you should run from me?
How does it show when you're to lose
Will you explain to me?
There's something growing
There's something showing
There's something won't let me be

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure
And when they made you
They made sure they threw away the mould
Oh, how I wish you could be
I wanna be in your vicinity

Well, I've heard that one day
Everything comes to him who waits
Well, that may be so, but you know it might be too late
Oh, how I'd love to see
That I wanna be in your vicinity

<i>Lyrics &copy; BUGHOUSE MUSIC OBO STRANGE MUSIC LTD</i>

I can see the painting on the wall,
Mixtures of different colors.
And I go walking in the Arizona sun,
Slow walking peace of mind.

The cactus blooms, the sand dunes,
No city lights, I can see for miles,
And my mind goes on forever.

The sun goes to bed,
Leaving sky of firey red.
Each step takes me closer to heaven.

All is full, all is nice, and all is well,


But when I turn I can see my fellow man,
Fighting in the city streets,
And dieing where they dwell.
Each step takes them closer to heaven.

I can see the painting on the wall,
Mixtures of different colors.
And I go walking in the Arizona sun,
Each step takes me closer to heaven.

I go walking in the Arizona sun,
I go walking in the Arizona sun,
I go walking in the Arizona sun.

This hotel bar is full of people
The piano man is really laying it down
Even the old bartender is as high as a steeple
So why tonight should I wear a frown?

The joint is jumping all around me
And my mood is really not in style
Right now the blues flock to surround me
But I'll break out after a while

Well, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay

Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay

Why ask how I feel?
Well, how does it look to you?
I fell hook, line and sinker
Lost my captain and my crew

I'm standing on the landing
And there's no one there but me
That's where you'll see me
Looking out on the deep blue sea

There's a song on the lips of everybody
There's a smile all 'round the room
There's conversation overflowing
So why must I sit here in the gloom

This hotel bar has lost all its people
The piano man has caught the last bus home
The old bartender sleeps in the corner
So why must I still be here?, I don't know, let me tell you

I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

Well, I'm a million miles
I'm a million miles, I'm a million miles
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, oh, oh yeah

As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to

As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to

In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
Well, I took it as an omen
And I jumped on the very first weight train
Yeah, as the crow flies

Well, you don't know baby
How I miss you sweet caress
Well, you don't know baby
How I miss you sweet caress
When I'm in your lovin' arms
I swear I make my very best

As the crow flies, baby
That's how I'm on my way
As the crow flies, baby
I'm on my way
But don't stop runnin'
I can get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day (x7)

As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to

As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to

In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
Well, I took it as an omen
And I jumped on the very first weight train
Yeah, as the crow flies

Well, you don't know baby
How I miss you sweet caress
Well, you don't know baby
How I miss you sweet caress
When I'm in your lovin' arms
I swear I make my very best

As the crow flies, baby
That's how I'm on my way
As the crow flies, baby
I'm on my way
But don't stop runnin'
I can get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day (x7)

If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot
If I was the atom then you'd split me into three
But when I want to see you, baby
How come you lock your door on me?
If I was a baby you wouldn't let me fall
If I was an outlaw you wouldn't have me caught
If I was a tiger you wouldn't have me caged
If I was somebody else you would act your age
You'll miss out if you leave me out of your day and night
I will try to make you see and hear what I got to say


It's all about me and you, alright
If I was a blind man then you'd make me see
If I was a deaf man you'd give me hears to hear
If I was a lame man you'd give me legs to walk
But if you were true to me, baby
You would listen when I talk
If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot
If I was the atom then you'd split me into three
But when I want to see you, baby
How come you lock your door on me?

Well I lost my shirt at a card game in which I never had a chance
Well I lost my shirt at a card game in which I never had a chance
The deck was marked, the game was rigged,
You could not tell at a glance.
Well, Lost my job on the weekend and I was back out on the street
Well, I lost my job on the weekend and I was back out on the streets
No way to get a dollar, but I spent it at the roulette wheel
Well I walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails
Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades
Got my little girl beside me no matter what else fails.
Well I spent it all down at the race track
All the way my horsre led the field
Well I spent it all down at the race track
All the way my horse led the field
But it was a hoax, the mare was doped,
a length to win she fell down on her knees
Gonna throw away my lucky penny, rabbit's foot and gypsy ring
Gonna throw away my lucky penny, rabbit's foot and gypsy ring
not gonna gamble on my baby,
on this loosing streak I might not win
Well I walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails
Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades
Got my little girl beside me no matter what else fails
Well I walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails
Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades
Got my little girl beside me no matter what else fails

Tell me, who's that coming?
Not walking, but running.
Cool as the mountain breeze.
Well, that song she's humming,
Could make my guitar start strumming.
Automatically.

Tell me, who's that speaking?
To make my heart start beating.
Really wanna make it pound.
Well, those words she's saying,
Could make even the devil start praying.
On his knees down upon the ground.

She's always had just what it took,
To read me like I was an open book.
There's something burning deep inside of me,
And she's the only one who can set me free.
Yeah....awhhh..

Tell me, who's that coming?
Not hitching or thumbing.
Walking straight at me.
Well, I sure am grinning,
Yeah, she's the one..and,
I guess she'll always be.

Tell me, who's that coming?
Not walking, but running.
Cool as the mountain breeze.
Well, that song she's humming,
Could make my guitar start strumming.
Automatically.
Yeah...

She's always had just what it took,
To read me like I was an open book.
There's something burning deep inside of me,
And she's the only one who can set me free.
Awhhh..that's right.

Who's that coming?
Who's that coming here?
Who's that coming?
Who's that coming?
Who's that coming?
Is that you?
Is that you?
Well, tell me, is that you?
Tell me, is that you?

Who's that coming?

Well, the rain ain't fussy about where it lands,
It'll find you hiding no matter where you stand.
It's gonna rain brother, and it's gonna rain hard,
When the blues comes calling with it's calling card.
It ain't too funny when you'd rather die,
Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply.
To your love sick letter that you wrote in tears,
About feeling so bad for a million years.

Watch out brother, be alert,
But whatever you do, don't show that hurt,
Don't show that hurt, show that hurt.

I've been subjected, I've been so distressed,
Come back baby, to clean up this mess,
Clean up this mess.

It ain't so funny when you'd rather die,
Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply.
To your lovesick letter that you wrote in tears,
About feeling so bad for a million years.

Yeah, the rain ain't fussy about where it falls,
It rains on one like it rains on all.
But when it falls brother, it's gonna rain hard,
When the blues comes calling with it's calling card.

Watch out brother, be alert,
Whatever you do, don't show that hurt,
Don't show that hurt.

Well I was born on the side of a road
A gap in the hedge
Did you hear what I said?
Born in a house with no slates
But I wouldn't switch
I didn't have a stitch
Always been out on a limb
I've been hard to mend
Like a kick in the shins

You'll only see me smile
When I eat up a country mile

Born on the green light, a mission to move
Something to prove, an itch in my shoes
I heard then wail of a train
From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back
Well the engineer threw the switch
And it got to my brain, I've never been the same

You'll only see me smile
When I eat up a country mile

Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust
Grease my heels
Out race the bus
Don't blink your eyes
Or you won't see me again



Born a spoke of the wheel
Not a part of the set and I'm running yet
I ran before I could walk
The price of the fare was hardly ever there
Saw an eight wheeler move
And I couldn't choose
I just had to cruise

You'll only see me smile
When I eat up a country mile

Well I was born on the side of a road
A gap in the hedge
Did you hear what I said
Born in a house with no slates
But I wouldn't switch

Always been out on a limb
I've been hard to mend
Like a kick in the shins

You'll only see me smile
When I eat up a country mile

Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust
Grease my heels
Out race the bus
Don't blink your eyes
Or you won't see me again

Do you read me, well won't you tell me?
If you read me, then please believe me, when I say,
Yes I've been waiting, seems like forever.

I've been waiting, my situation ain't got much better,
Well I've been waiting, the situation don't get much better.

You don't do unto others as you do unto me,
Well, why am I the only one that treats you this way?
Well, you got that something and it's hard to specify,
I can't diagnose that look in your eyes.

You don't do unto me, like I know you could,
Why am I the only one who's misunderstood?


Ashes to ashes, and it's dust to dust,
Well, if you won't take me then I guess the devil must.

I've been hurting, my hearts been burning,
I've been hurting, but I've been learning, just the same.

Well, I've been waiting, seems like forever,
While I've been waiting,
My situation ain't got much better,
While I've been waiting,
The situation ain't got much better,
I've been waiting,
The situation don't get much better.

I've cried enough tears to fill up an ocean,
Surely you see that my world's been broken?

Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through.
Here I am, where are you?
All my days are edged in blue.

You made up your mind and nothing can change it,
You want to be free but I can't rearrange it.

Here I am, where are you?
Tell me please, what to do,
Here I am, broken into,
All my days are edged in blue.

I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there,
'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong.
I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told,
Told by my heart that you really had gone.

'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong.

Yeah....

Our lines got crossed through all things unspoken.
A tangle of knots not easily opened,

Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through.
Here I am, where are you?
All my days are edged in blue.
Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through,
Here I am, where are you?
Can't you see I'm edged in blue.
Ohhh.......
Ohhh.......

I'll admit you're gone - when I think I'm able,
Just like in that song, you turned all the tables,
Now I know I'm wrong, life is hard to shoulder,
I won't last too long, each day is getting colder.
Falling constantly, shadows haunting me,
Moving silently, day by day,
Watching hopefully, waiting anxiously,
That you might hear me, someday.
That's what I pray,
That's all I pray,
I'm gonna be ok, it's gonna be okay.

Looking ahead, there's nothing but blue days,
But somehow I keep hanging on.
I should spend time looking for new ways,
'Cos blue days have taken quite a toll.

The journey we were on - can't believe it's over,
I can feel the storm, but I can't run for cover.
Where do I belong I just keep on searchin'?
I want to see the dawn of the day when stop hurting.

Falling constantly, shadows haunting me,
Moving silently, day by day.
Watching hopefully, anxiously,
That you might hear me, someday.
That's what I pray,
That's all I pray,
It's gonna be ok, I'm gonna be okay.

You are a moonchild and pretty soon child
I've got that feeling
That I'm gonna make you smile forever
If I can.
Just give me a sign and I'll show you my plan
You are a blue child, forever true child
You know I'll try to paint the skies blue forever
If I can.
Just give me a sign and I'll show you my plan.

Tell me why you look so sad,
Time slips by like grains of sand
Just put your future in my hands

You are a moonchild and pretty soon child
I've got the feelin I'm gonna make you smile forever.
If I can.

Just give me a sign and I'll show you my plan,
Just give me a smile and I'll show you my plan,
Just give me a sign and I'll show you my plan

You seemed to be like a real good idea,
At the time, at the time.
You lifted me up to some higher ground,
Then you knocked me down on the ground.
But I rue that day like I don't know how.

You picked me up right out of the tide,
My eyes weren't open wide.
I was blind,
But I see much better, much better now.

Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves,
I walked on a tightrope, didn't lose my nerve.
Stayed on the canvas, couldn't count me out,
Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out and how.
All fifty rounds.

I rue that day as of now.
