Snow in a soulless city. Covers up the cracks in the road. As a wastrel buys her cigarettes. And wipes her pretty nose. . Like a part-time Elvis imitator.
With all the stuff they sell you night and day. With all the trash they try to trick you with you lie to me. Well I don't need it, but I get it anyway.
You can grin but you can't hide. All the emptiness inside. Since she left you like. Spit in the rain. . Without doubt, it is true. She was the only love you knew.
With the sweet drip of every raindrop. Time brings you closer to me. And with each new sign, at every train stop. Another hour without you is consigned to history.
I must've had a million damn unlucky days. But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away. I've done my deal of livin', ran from place to place.
As the sun rises over Mexico. And sets on the African plains. On a tourist jet, the in-flight magazines. Sets out your rate of exchange. . While the unhealed and homeless are wondering.
Cry. Cry out your eyes forever. It wont go away. I. Im just a dumb observer. Its so stupid what I said. . Like everyone else will do. Im gonna lie to you.
She's passing this way. And if you're looking for love, she'll give it away. Yeah, we've all drunk from that cup. You'll be hooked within minutes of tasting a drop.
Walk into the lightning of a midnight bulletin. Our brave new world sits smiling with egg on its chin. And love gets so lazy, love gets so slow. We stopped making love in the hours of daylight, too many moons ago.
