Been some time since the first night I saw you. Had some good, had some bad times since then. And through all of these moments that I've gotten to know you.
Look up, child. The world is born. Shoe's untied. And your soles are worn. . Windows are rolled down. Sun is setting high. Windows are rolled down. I'm fixing to die.
And no one says a word to me. They're concerned with my jealousy. Well, I guess that's how it's gotta be. From now on. . And time, it swallows everything.
Lately I. I've been heading for a breakdown. Every time I leave my house. Well, it feels just like a shake down. . Between street sweepers and the pushers are the lawyers.
It ain't no jive. I was burnin' alive. Whenever you walked in the room. It happened so quickly. I was feelin' so sickly. Like a lover who lost his muse.
Sweet pea, apple of my eye. Don't know when and I don't know why. You're the only reason I keep on coming home. . Sweet pea, what's all this about?. Don't get your way, all you do is fuss and pout.
He got a new mercy, a new grace. Street corner preacher with the angry face. He got 2 years off for good behavior. Back in the neighborhood working for the savior.
Somethin gotta give with the way Im livin. Seems Im gettin down everyday. The more I strive, the less Im alive. And it seems I'm gettin further away. .
Did you believe them. When they told you they discovered you. And that everything is free. As long as you do what they tell you to. You think it's true.
I don't know if I can do this alone. Oh, after all our sweet love is flown. I've been a running, I've been skipping like a stone. And I don't know if I, I can do this alone.
A thousand empty window. And only half the lights are out. I wonder what these people's lives. What they might be all about. . Do they got a lover. And could they have a family.
Go ahead baby, run away again. Im growin' tired of chasin' you. I know you only have time to love me. You've got nothin' better to do. . Whos bold enough to believe.
Yes, I dug you in a bulletproof vest. 'Cause you can't walk straight with a bullet in your chest. Another man down with a flag to fold. It takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold.
I aint no wide eyed rebel. Oh, but I aint no preachers son. And now I see the trouble. And all the loving that I have done. . And the world aint no harder.
Hey baby, it's all gravy. We all do what we got to do. Hey darling, I'm broken hearted. I've been crying but my crying is through. . And I've learned a lot.
Been kicked around so long you're starting to get used to how it feels. The taste of blood that's in your mouth that still somehow it always heals. Don't know how you keep on getting up from all those ghostly blows.
Well I walked over the bridge. Into the city where I live. And I saw my old landlord. Well we both said, "Hello". There was no where else to go. 'Cause his rent I couldnt afford.
The one I love is lost without the least bit of explanation. Just goes to show the futility of self-preservation. Now all I seem to see is all this war and goin' amongst our nation.
Sally Jane, how did it end up this way. With our boxes packed and not one word to say?. The children play as your car pulled away. I didnt realize til then it was really goodbye.
Hello again,. I know it's been a long time coming. You say you've been, out there a long time running. . You used to be so beautiful. But you lost it somewhere along the way.
