Once I smoked a Danneman cigar
I drove a foreign car
Baby, that was years ago
I left it all behind
I had a friend, I heard she died
On a needle, she was crucified
Baby, that was years ago
I left it all behind for my
Cheap wine and a three-day growth
Cheap wine and a three-day growth
Come on...
Wan' tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
Ah, come to loving
She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
42-39-56
You could say she's got it all
Never had a woman, never had a woman like you
Doin' all the things, doin' all the things you do
Ain't no fairy...
I watch my t.v. screen, life flashing before me
So tell me what does that mean? And why does it bore me?
C'mon, let me show you how to do it
I hear the radio and the songs they play
Makin' my stomach turn
I just want to hear some rock 'n' roll
I watch my radio burn
C'mon, let me show you how to...
Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting to sleep
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a seat
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away
Thousand miles away
Working for yourself...
(I feel ashamed posting this)
I've been missing wishing missing your strawberry kisses
I've been missing wishing missing your strawberry kisses
(C'mon) I've been missing wishing missing your strawberry kisses
(Oh-oh) I've been missing wishing missing
(Yeah-yeah)
(Sorry about the obscure Australian pub rock band lyrics but it's the music I grew up on and is usually the first thing that comes to mine)
She's standing on the corner
And she looks so alone
And she sacrifies her money
To a god she doesn't know
"Go repent," said the preacher
With his hands...
God only knows how far you've come
It must be light years from here
Some distant star you call the Sun
Does someone miss you back there?
Another world is calling you
Another world is coming through
You look like me, you talk like me
I could believe you're human
But, late at night...
Ask me questions, get no answers
Give me nothing, take no chances
Show me books with empty pages
Wind your clocks and read your gauges
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
Tell me truths that have no meaning
Live in rooms that have no ceiling
Now your friends are all departed
So, your...
Try not to break me baby you're so strong
You mightn't think so but I know, you're so strong
You picked me up and took me home
Straightened me out but didn't leave me alone
The way you hug the way you kiss
I don't know how much more I can take of this
Try not to break me baby you're so strong...
Yesterday, there was so many things I was never told
Now that I'm starting to learn, I feel I'm growing old
'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Time just fades the pages in my book of memories
Prayers in my pocket, and no hand in destiny
I'll keep on movin'...
Get down, deeper and down
Down, down, deeper and down
Down, down, deeper and down
Get down, deeper and down
I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing
And you're laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again
And deeper and down
When I get home I found you sleeping
I said the words you know are true
And I'm stone
Stone cold in love with you
You don't have to turn the light on
Ain't had more than just a few
And I'm stone
I'm stone cold in love with you
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boyfriend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
Most people I know think that I'm crazy and
I know at times I act a little hazy but
If that's my way
And you should know it then
In every way help me to show it
Oooooooo yeah, yeah, yeah
