I'm dirty as a man hole cover I'm lookin for my long lost lover She turned me out and now I'm sinkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin' I'm talking with a tight red sweater I'm feelin' like Eddie Vedder Only twice as cool when she starts winkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin' I'm loyal as a dog but I'm a hog for that sexual attraction It starts up in my mind and makes a bee line below the belt No consequences just satisfaction Baby in my heart I'm faithful This two headed monster is so distasteful Forgive me when my instincts start stinkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin' Think about it... Forgive me if my instincts start stinkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
Well, those electric sheep to the valley they keep walkin On the radio waves selling tennis shoes and beer It induces sleep when that DJ starts his squawkin' I'm lookin' for one song to save me on this midnight clear CHORUS: So how far do we have to go to hear that Pirate Radio? One song that could steal our hearts Before they turn into silver and gold Well I'm drivin' my car real slow and my baby wants to know When we gonna hear our song on that Pirate Radio? One star in the sky so I named it Otis Redding Or maybe Marvin Gaye lookin' for his Tammi Terrell There ain't no mountain high enough to stop this wedding Rollin' out of Memphis to Detroit I can hear those bells REPEAT CHORUS Well, we've been drivin' all night, ever since we were teenagers, Up to that border town where the outlaw station air waves Where the DJ's outta sight and his heart is so courageous And he loves every song that he's puttin' on for the free and brave REPEAT CHORUS
My sweet girl with you eyes so bright Don't leave me in the dark tonight The sun's turned down, the moon is low And I know secrets you don't know Do you hear the wind whispering "You're the one I love" The summer breeze tells the trees I'm the one, because You're my sweet girl Hold me now in this sweet life I will take you for my wife We can walk the aisle in this city park And I will offer you my heart Married by a firefly They're coming back, you know And I'm the man who knows he can Provide an afterglow For you, my sweet girl Cause you're my sweet girl Do, do, do.... My sweet girl, do you know you are My lovely dream, my little star In a blanket made of earth and sky Curled up with my sweetie pie The love we make, it merely takes Our breath out of the air We kiss and then we breath again The wind blows through your hair It's whispering, "You're my sweet girl" Can you hear it? It's saying, "You're my sweet girl" You're my sweet girl Do, do, do...
I thought I had to curl up from my head down to my toes But heaven knows that I was wrong, I'm feeling again Holding my breath and holed up in this cheap motel, I feel like hell I'm holding my own heart, I'm feeling again When I get that feeling like a bass drum Pounding til my head is numb Electric onion peeling within I got that feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again And all those nights just kill a billion brain cells Now I'm swelling up inside with teeth and nails, I'm feeling again From the bottoms up I put the top down on this town And drove it around till I passed out, I'm feeling again When I get that feeling like a bass drum Pounding til my head is numb Electric onion peeling within I got that feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again Morning comes like Catholic guilt, wilted lettuce from The family farm on false alarms, I'm feeling again Holding on to fear and lust and hate, now it's too late To spin the wheel, it's drink or feel, I'm feeling again When I get that feeling like a bass drum Pounding til my head is numb Electric onion peeling within I got that feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again (I got that) Feeling again

You told me you'd hold me Now I know better All you did fold me honey Like a dear John letter You put me in a box With God and his uncle Like a pair of gym socks Lookin' like Artie Garfunkle You took my heart The check's in the mail We'll do lunch when you get out of jail Sure Pinocchio Anything you say Sure Pinocchio Have it your own way You took me for a ride Well, I'm crawling out of this gutter You hurt me down inside What was that you muttered Somethin' bout wishing on a star for a fish out of water Well, I know who you are Your Gepetto's wicked daughter This hurts you more that it hurts me You never inhale, yeah, and cops eat free Sure Pinocchio Anything you say Sure Pinocchio Have it your own way Sure Pinocchio What hurts me makes you stronger Sure Pinocchio That nose keeps gettin' longer and longer You took my heart The check's in the mail We'll do lunch when you get out of jail Sure Pinocchio Anything you say Sure Pinocchio Have it your own way Sure Pinocchio Anything you say Sure Pinocchio That nose keeps gettin' longer and longer
On the outside, a beautiful thing On the inside, a bird with a broken wing Chances taken, now the dark angels circle in the wind You're mistaken, but still you'll do it all again As he shakes his fist, somethin' dribbles down his chin Can you live like this Just crawlin' underneath their skin CHORUS: Better run...runaway, there is no reason to stay Run...runaway Better run...runaway, fast as these words that I say Run...runaway From the ashes you will rise Distant crashes in your eyes Though he's made you into an image of his pain Cut and shaved you Like a prisoner on a train There are broken limbs And tangled power lines No songs like hymns No flowers in the springtime REPEAT CHORUS TWICE I found your heart on Valentine's Day I tore it apart, with all I do, with all I say Just run.... Better run....runaway There is no reason to stay Run...runaway You just run...runaway Fast as these words that I say Run...runaway Better run....runaway There is no reason to stay Run...runaway Better run...runaway Fast as these words that I say Run...runaway
She was a woman sawed in half It was done by a bad magician There was a point at which she just had to laugh You could appreciate her position Her legs in one way, and her head another She just kept thinking about walking away They tried to put her back together underneath the cover But her heart kept getting in, getting in the way She was a woman sawed in half Lets cut to the chase, love, this was showtime And he was sweating bullets, and walking on glass Somewhere between the evening news and tomorrow's headline (Buzz awhile..) She was a woman sawed in half It was done by a bad magician Yeah, it was a clear cut thing, no, you didn't have to ask She was gonna have to make her own decisions Her legs got up and walked away, and her head came rolling Oh, the room was painted black night, and turning dayglow She wound up in two places at once, her heart was swollen He played his musical saw in the streets of San Diego Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya She was a woman sawed in half, her legs in Tijuana She was a bodyless head and trapeze artist in a circus in Bombay Now a woman's gonna do exactly what a woman's gonna Yeah, some bad magicians wouldn't have it any other way She holds on to that trapeze by the skin of her teeth, or so they say REPEAT VERSE
Broken love out on the highway I thought I knew you like the back of my hand Pick him up, he's just a ghost from the old days That's just about as far as we go from here That's just about as far as we go He wants a ride out of Montana Back to the girl with the West in her eyes Before the wagons rolled out of Indiana That's just about as far as we go from here That's just about as far as we go That's just about as far as we go from here That's just about as far as we go And you and I know That this road don't go back there anymore Just let him rest He's the best of you and me Just let him be I never knew so much time was passing And who'd have thought we'd be haunted by dreams Dreams of love so true and everlasting That's just about as far as we go from here That's just about as far as we go That's just about as far as we go from here That's just about as far as we go
After all this time I'm glad your loving me 'Cause after all this time So many disagree To turn off the lights Or pull down the shade Don't be afraid After all this time And after all this time I'm glad that you can see After all this time And I'm the man I want to be Strong as your love Free as the wind Each day we begin After all this time After all this time You love someone And love's becoming you After all this time Face the sun Everyday is new After all this time I'm glad I'm loving you After all this time We are the only two Here in this world A love that time forgot But darlin' we will not After all this time (repeat)
As the darkness sets like a hand on a stone And the stars become your body All those places I have known And the -- -- -- down the miles of memory Well I wake up in the dreaming Do you ever dream of me 'cause I'm long gone - long gone from your love And the morning sun just like one big ol' headlight Seperates my sandy eyelids from the desert of my life All's I see is road devils dancing in the heat as it rises from the asphalt as my leaving just repeats And I'm long gone - long gone from your love You don't have to ask me where I'm going to because I never turned around to watch it burning I see you through the screen door but I'm long gone from your love And girl, I don't know when I'll be returning 'cause I'm long gone, yes, long gone from your love As the darkness sets like a hand on a stone And the stars become your body All those places I have known
I heard this poor town --'s daddy --- like he was just some kind of crazy old fool Maybe he is, maybe he ain't - hey, I don't know But I know that boy loves his daddy just about as much as he can stand Cruel words get spoken and hearts get broken It's hard to understand That's the trouble with blood, your sons and your daughters That's the trouble with blood, it's thicker than water I heard his mama screaming at her daughter the other day that she wished she'd never been born All those tears welling up in both of their eyes You know that mama never had more joy than when that baby come into this world The pain and the sorrow will be there tomorrow It's hard to understand That's the trouble with blood, your mothers and fathers That's the trouble with blood, it's thicker than water You can't wash it out, no, no You can curse it you can swear it That's the trouble with blood, you just gotta wear it It's hard to understand...etc
When I was a kid I travelled the rooftops of my town Trying to raise up above a family I look at those houses when I'm standing on the ground Over impressed with gravity Me and Joe H- we rode 'em tall like sailing ships Two Magellan's heading on out to the sea And up on those eaves, just about anything you'd believe You could get your heart to see CHORUS: I roll it over in my mind I roll it over in my mind I roll it over in my mind Five hundred miles and a day behind Tomorrow that sun is gonna shine I roll it over in my mind We sailed Indiana just like it was the Bering Sea Riding on those -- waves of green And up on that roof, well you didn't need no proof There was gonna come driving rain So batton down the hatches yes and landlock all their hearts Up on the rooftops we'll be free to sail our ships out past the cornfields and -- strips(?) carried away by the deep blue sea REPEAT CHORUS What I was thinking, yeah, somewhere in my brain Me and Joe H -- might have had it right Just high enough to see what we did not wanna be I think I'm gonna ride the roof tonight REPEAT CHORUS
