Buckskin Wall Lyrics - Jerry Leger

BUCKSKIN WALL (Leger) 

The searchers are restless 

When you put up your buckskin wall 

They don't want your body 

They just want your naked talk 

You're so cool 

I love the words you choose 

You know when it's time to go 

But it's the stories that you lose 

Freddie's got the shingles 

Joselyn's homesick on the train 

Four kettles on the burners 

Like a symphony of pain 

And the weather is sick to death 

And it's tears are only saying 

I can't stay no more 

I can't stay no more 

I can't stay 

You don't tolerate losers 

With their machine gun charms 

Talk circles around the actors 

Who'll never know who they really are 

Let's burn the script 

Draw a future with the ashes on the floor 

You got adventure in your eyes 

When I can't take this town anymore 

Freddie's got the shingles 

Joselyn's homesick on the train 

Four kettles on the burners 

Like a symphony of pain 

And the weather is sick to death 

And it's tears are only saying 

I can't stay no more 

I can't stay no more 

I can't stay 

Raindrops on the rooftop 

Wet leaves on thirsty dirt 

The beggars run for shelter 

The rich dance in their sense of worth 

I'm a young man in an old suit 

And you love me just the same 

We hitchhike for the romance 

Sleep in the alleyways 

Visitors on the prowl 

Can't hide enough in time 

You don't always want a conversation 

During your theatre of the mind 

Spinning tales and popping pills 

Quiet at the borderline 

We'll be somewhere else by the rising 

If they don't catch us in a lie 

Freddie's got the shingles 

Joselyn's homesick on the train 

Four kettles on the burners 

Like a symphony of pain 

And the weather is sick to death 

And it's tears are only saying 

I can't stay no more 

I can't stay no more 

I can't stay
