Riot on the streets, the touch beneath the sheets It’s only gonna make me love you more The cops they got the guns, the night destroys the sun It’s only gonna make me love you more This old world, well, it was mine to take Faith can keep you warm, but I’ll teach you how [...]
Half past twelve And i’m watching the late show in my flat all alone How i hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds Blowing outside the window as i look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the phone There’s not a soul out there No one to [...]
“Ah the night…here it comes again” It’s on with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt How’d I end up feeling so bad For such a little girl And I hold you close in the back of my mind Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt And I’m too scared to know to [...]
Poor girl, no Ma Nothing much to speak of but a rough diamond Sleep now and your angels will come, dear Poor Matilda Handcuffed to the wheel And steering wildly Through love’s fields, so blindly Forever only takes its toll on some But, tonight you’re sleeping alone without him Tonight you’re sleeping alone without him [...]
Well, the night makes moves And it shatters like broken glass Better play it cool… better let it pass Have you been screening your smokes? And whispers in an all night bar Better off as the fool Than the owner of that kind of heart They don’t know you anyway They don’t know you and [...]
Black birds slow and softly breaks a glass of wine Broken bluesy whisper sing to me tonight Well, everybody wants to go forever I just wanna burn up hard and bright I just wanna be your firecracker And maybe be your baby tonight Maybe be your baby tonight Lady, your kicks of silence cough into [...]
Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July I had a firecracker waiting to blow Breakin’ like a rocket who makin’ its way To the cities of Mexico Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th Had myself a lover who was finer [...]
Did I slip? I know I stumbled Did I trip? ‘Cause I know I fell All’s I know is I’ll wake up here in my clothes tomorrow But oh, girl I wish I knew you well But oh, girl I wish I knew you well But I’m just sayin’ hi, to your answering bell Did [...]
Everybody wants you to be special And everybody wants you to be high They throw you down a rope when you’re in trouble, baby Screamin’, “Save me” Then they charge you with the rescue blues And everybody wants to see you suffer They know that you need the pain so much They throw you up [...]
I want to tell you something That I should’ve, long ago I wish that you and I had those kids Maybe bought us that home I wish that we were stumbling fast Down on Irving and 14th Street I wish that we were still in your room In your bed and you were holding me [...]
I wish I had a Sylvia Plath Busted tooth and a smile And cigarette ashes in her drink The kind that goes out and then sleeps for a week The kind that goes out on her To give me a reason, for well, I dunno And maybe she’d take me to France Or maybe to [...]
I knew I was never gonna talk to you tomorrow And oh, the birds how they sing If you were a bird could you sing me a song of sorrow ‘Cause all I know from you is grief But I never wanted to be your rolling train I never wanted to be your dancin’ shoes [...]
Enemy fire Enemy blanks Enemy colored roses Red colored tanks It’s too late baby Baby, it’s too late Learn how to change And maybe I could stay Enemy fire Enemy planes Enemy roses and red colored chains It’s too late baby Baby, it’s too late Learn how to change And maybe I could stay Um… [...]
Dancin’ where the stars go blue Dancin’ where the evening fell Dancin’ in your wooden shoes In a wedding gown Dancin’ out on 7th street Dancin’ through the underground Dancin’ little marionette Are you happy now? Where do you go when you’re lonely Where do you go when you’re blue Where do you go when [...]
It’s happening baby They’re putting up the chairs Zaking the money And all we can do is pray Pray for tomorrow So close your eyes So close your mouth And do this all in time to the music That screams like a child in the back of your mind In a clown’s saloon So goodnight [...]
