You'll get hooked, you'll get drugged. She'll be your essence, she'll be your blood. And you'll want her more and more but you'll never get enough. And that's the first rule of love.
Tell her not to go. I ain't holding on no more. Tell her something in my mind. Freezes up from time to time. . Tell her not to cry. I just got scared that's all.
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 ain't gonna laugh at this no more. Or let it just slip by. I ain't gonna watch this till I choke on the lie. . I ain't gonna take this anymore. I ain't sitting quiet.
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.
Look around your world pretty Baby. Is it everythin' you hoped it'd be?. The wrong guy, the wrong situation. The right time to roll to me. Roll to me.
She stepped off the bus with a burst suitcase and a frown. And she could smell the breweries and abattoirs on the edge of town. And the man who owes her money won't even lend her an ear.
He was a self made man. Made a killing on copper mine. Loved beautiful girls. Got a taste for fancy wine. And the suits he wore. Were paper thin. . He built a big white house.
You hold the key to whether we will ever last. I know I can't forever hide behind this mask. 'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past. . You'll hear my reputation anywhere you ask.
We could be away from here. By ten o'clock tonight. Pennies won't get us to heaven, I know. But a borrowed car just might. . Look through my wallet. There's enough for a hotel room.
So long, hope your dreams come true. Now I've gone I know you're gonna bloom. And did you want me to say I'd die for you?. . And what you wanted I couldn't give.
One more last hurrah. One more fearless stand. At some nightclub bar. . One more last hurrah. Gonna kiss our friends. And then crash our cars. Crash our cars.
Post office clerks put up signs. Saying, 'Position Closed'. And secretaries turn off typewriters. And put on their coats. . Janitors padlock the gates.
