Keep your railway to the sun
Just leave any time you choose
Tell me what you hope to find
I'll tell you what you've got to lose.

Throw away the map
That way, you can't find your way back
So before you leave
You better find out where it's at.

What's inside your heart ?
Tell me, what's inside your mind ? Woo-hoo
I wonder if I look, I wonder what I'll find.

I've gotta tell you
How come you can't see ?
Everybody's saying, she'll come right on back to me, woo-hoo.

Keep your railway and your gun
Just leave any time you choose
Tell me what you hope to find
I'll tell you what you've got to lose, woo-hoo, woo-hoo.

If the day was any longer,
Could I change your mind,
If your love was any stronger,
You'd stay behind.

Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time,
Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time.

If the day was any brighter,
You'd have seen the signs,
If your love begins to wander,
Should I count the times?

Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time,
Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time.

If the day was any day,
You would forget my name,
But the things that I am saying,
They'd still mean the same.

Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time,
Will I lose my mind,
Just to past the time.

Looks like the morning sun that's come to play outside my window
Another night has gone, if something's changed then it does not show
She shines so brightly and make your two eyes blink
But you know she can't be found when the sun begins to sink.

She looks like the morning sun but you must remember
She's as cold as December, I can't remember what I've done.

She looks like the morning sun but you must remember
She's as cold as December, I can't remember what I've done.

Looks like the morning sun that's come to play outside my window
Another night has gone if something's changed then it does not show.

I'll eat my words, I swear I will
If I am wrong I'll pay the bill
No cards for me, I'll look what's dealt
There's one here up my sleeve.

Well, if I'm wrong I'll never win
But I've been ‘round one time for sin
Will I miss you ? I bet I will
I might even lose some sleep.

I'll eat my words, I swear I will
If I am wrong I'll pay the bill
No cards for me, I'll look what's dealt
One here up my sleeve.

I'll eat my words if I am wrong
You can count when I sing my song
You don't hate me, you hate my tongue
You won't even read my will
Won't even read my will
Won't even read my will.

Eat my words
Eat my words
Eat my words
Eat my words.

Someone has taken my day, turned it to night
Who turned out the light ?
But hatch from the things, I don't know what it means
But it was too much to bear.

If I had taken my time, counted my steps
I might have no regrets
You might still be here yet and not in my dreams
It's too late to care.

Somehow the world is a-gone, please, give me the keys
And open the door
Where is the floor ? I don't know what it means
It's too much to bear.

It's too much to bear.

See here, I believe in my dream
See here, do you know what I mean ?
Be here, let me tell you what I've seen
Be here and you could be in my dream.

Go near but as near as far away
Have no fear, just listen when I say
That it's clear that in time you'll come my way
How near ? In a year or just a day.

Everyone is saying what to do and what to think,
And when to ask permission when you feel you want to blink.
First look left and then look right and now look straight ahead,
Make sure and take a warning of every word we've said.
Now you lay you down to sleep make sure and get some rest,
Tomorrow is another day and you must pass the test.
Don't try and think too different now what we say is best,
Listen little man you're no better than the rest.
Don't lay beside the wayside all around the road we've set,
Smile and look happy fool or we'll throw you in the wet.
Now if you learn your lesson well and step upon the line,
Save your breath until forever we should get along just fine.
We'll bend your heart until it breaks make sure you feel no pain,
We'll be the one to crush you and give you to the rain.
But now you want to run away oh can I see you run,
Run across the frozen air try resting on the sun.
And if you feel it burn you don't yell out in pain,
Or wish you had a velvet sponge full of soothing rain.
So let's have that stiff upper lip now take a long deep breath,
Close your ears you cannot hear the rules are all pre-set.
You thought we were illusions but we meant the word we said,
We're in command, you tiny fly, we'll crush you till you're dead.

Oh well tell me sugar mama,
Where in the world,
Where in the world,
Where in the world,
Where in the world,
Where in the world,
You get your sugar from.

Tell me sugar woman,
Where in the world did you get your sugar from.
Down in Louisiana,
I was workin' on your daddy's,
Working on your daddy's,
Working on your daddy's,
Sugar farm.

Owww...

You know they're braggin' about your good sugar,
You know they're braggin' all over town.
You know they're braggin' about your sugar babe,
I swear they're braggin' all over town.

Come on sweet woman,

I like my coffee sweet in the mornin',
Woman I'm crazy about my tea at night.
I like my coffee sweet in the mornin',
You know I love my tea at night.

Come on sweet woman,
If I don't get my sugar three times a day,
Oh darlin' I don't feel right.

Sugar mama, sugar mama, sugar,sugar.

Woooo...

Ahh ... sugar mama, I just want you tonight.

Born on the wrong side of time,
Even your best friend,
Is ready, to watch you die.
You don't want to live on the street,
So you've got to sweat till your'e dead,
To make ends meet.
Born on the wrong side of time,
Your days are so cold,
That you curse, just something to cry.
That you should be living in fear,
When you cry out,
Your friends just don't want to hear.
And you dream, of the day,
When the great mastertime,
Will call us .... to his side.
And you watch, your brothers,
Shake with fear, as they watch,
His serpintine .... eye.
And you can smell, their fear,
As they stand, and curse,
The fact that they're .... alive.
Born on the wrong side of time,
Pretend to yourself,
That some day, you'll do just fine.
You know that you live through a lie,
You'll only find out what went wrong,
When the sun makes us cry.

Same old story, night and day,
Same old story since you went away.
I'm walking out my shoes,
You can't count the tears I spill.
Come back baby,
Your place no one can fill,
It'll be the same old story,
Yes it will.
Same old story, I can't believe,
Same old story, that you wanna leave.
Without you it's a nightmare,
And the air is chill,
Get the next train home,
Your place no one can fill,
It'll be the same old story,
Yes it will.
Same old story, am I really down?
Same old story, in this one horse town.
Walking out my shoes,
You can't count the tears I spill.
Come back women,
Your place no one can fill,
It'll be the same old story,
Yes it will.
Same old story, am I really down?
Same old story, the earth goes round?
Walkin' out my shoes,
You can't count the tears I spill.
Come back baby,
I'm standing by the window sill,
It'll be the same old story,
Yes it will.

Well I wish I was a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea.
All you pretty womens,
Fishing after me,
Fishing after me.
Well, I went down to my baby's house,
And I sat down on the steps.
She said, "Come on in and have me,
My old man just left,
Just now left".
Well, there's two trains a runnin',
And there's not one, goin' my way.
One runs at midnight,
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.

She's alright with me.

Swimming in the deep blue sea.
