Every day you pass her in the hall. You just pretend that you don't see her at all. You wanna tell her how much you care. You wanna call her but you just don't dare.
Oh, its cold and lonely here. Here in this telephone booth. Theres three sides to every story, baby. There's yours and there's mine and the cold, hard truth.
Like every young man. I had some things that I wanted to say. Ere I could begin. You know the world got in my way. . Oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby. To open the window and feel the fair wind.
Well, it's up in the mornin', everybody off and runnin'. Everybody got some place to be. Some people never go walkin', some people just stop talkin'. And I was slippin' away, you came and pulled me through, baby.
Football, baseball, basketball games. Drinkin bear, kickin ass and takin down names. With the top down, get-a-round, shootin the line. Summer is here and Johnnys feelin fine.
While you were sleeping. They came and took it all away. The lanes and the meadows. The places where you used to play. . It was an inside job. By the well-connected.
I know you love me. You know I love you too. You know I always will. No matter what you do. . Say you haven't got another lover. Say you only want to make the scene.
Hey! You're leavin' tongue marks on the carpet. I know what you're lookin' at. You would walk on your lips through busted glass. If you could get next to that.
The rains have come early, they say. We're all gonna wash away. Well, that's all right with me. If Heaven's torrent can wash clean. The arrogance that lies unseen.
Baby picks off your plate, yours looks better. And she throws hers on the floor. Here in the home of the brave. And the land of the free. The first word that baby learns is more.
I hate to tell you this but I'm very very happy. And I know that's not what you'd expect from me at all. I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully.
Maybe just a good nights sleep. Would have changed your troubled mind. From that rather permanent decision. So tragic, so unkind. . Now pain is what you've given.
The power of reason, the top of the heap. We're the ones who can kill, kill baby. The things we don't eat. . Sharper than a serpent's tongue. Tighter than a bongo drum.
I watch you sleeping. My weary heart rises up on wings. I hear your laughter. Something, deep down inside me sings. . Way down here in the land of cotton.
I used to work for harvester. I used to use my hands. I used to make the tractors and the. Combines that plowed and harvested this great land. . Now I see my handiwork on the block.
City girls just seem to find out early. How to open doors with just a smile. A rich old man and she won't have to worry. She'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
Nobody on the roads, nobody on the beach. I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach. Empty lake, empty streets, sun goes down alone. I'm drivin' by your house, though I know you're not at home.
Look at us, baby, up all night, tearing the love apart. Aren't we the same two people who lived through the years. In the dark? Oh, no, every time I try to walk away.
The fires of hate burn deep inside. You swear it's truth, but I know you lied. I never thought that you would try to take me, break me. For all the years of pain and tears.
Nobody on the road. Nobody on the beach. I feel it in the air. The summer's out of reach. . Empty lake, empty streets. The sun goes down alone. I'm drivin' by your house.
