What time is it?. Four thirty. It's not late, naw, naw,. Just early, early, early. . President, he sweat through his talcum. News paper man, he watch like a falcon.
It's a funny way to tell you baby,. What could I do?. I've been talkin to the preacher,. And he sent me to you.. There's a penny on the sidewalk,. But you stepped on a crack.
Moonlight through the chicken wire, humming windowpane,. Lukewarm water gasping down a rusty drain. Big town's in need of mending, street lights make tooth some seams.
I've been thinking lately. How to get you off my line. Don't seem all that easy but it. Feels alright. I've gotten rid of expectations. that I used to have.
Been a whole lot easier since the bitch left town. It's been a whole lot happier without her face around. Nobody upstairs gonna stomp and shout. Nobody at the back door gonna throw my laundry out.
I don't think I can handle this. A cloudy day in metropolis. Well I think I'll talk to my analyst. I got it so bad for this little journalist. . Drive me up the wall and through the roof.
The streets are lined with gold. The cheese is full of mold. Oh, come into the fold with me. Global domination. While it sparks my imagination. It kills the vegetation.
This is my house where I hang around. As soon as I get up, I start to get down. You don't need a place to stay. Our house is any old place we play. . This is my house if you don't like it.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.. And the more it rains, the less I know.. Why do these foreign skies change the way home?. Why do these hotel walls hang their strangeness on my own?.
Tears for souvenirs. Tears are not enough. Tears for shields and spears. Tears are not enough. . Searching for certainty. When it's such an unstable world.
When your world is full of strange arrangements. And gravity won't pull you through. You know you're missing out on something. Well that something depends on you.
The message is perfectly simple. The meaning is clear. Don't ever stray too far. And don't disappear. No don't disappear. . Ever had that feeling. Almost broke in two.
I've seen the future, I can't afford it. Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it. Say Mr. Whispers, here come the click of dice. Roulette and blackjacks, build us a paradise.
I, I would swim the seven seas. I, I would crawl upon my knees. I, I climb mountains high for you. I, I would guarantee your every dream come true. Come true.
Welcome to the great republic. Guess I should show you 'round. Where once I was a king. And now I am a clown, well, baby. . The love that we once shared.
I had dreams and crazy schemes. Never felt this way before. I had days when I god raged. Never felt like this before. Endless nights that end in flights.
Sun beats hard on Sunset Boulevard. Much harder still in Notting Hill. A north wind blows and carries me home. Carries my heart, carries my soul. . When cool silks they turn to suede.
Well you took me home. And you took me back. But deep down inside. The feeling just died and I. Couldn't see why?. . From indigo through to royal blue.
Politicians preaching. (On TV). Saying nothing but. (Vote for me). . Everybody, eh, everywhere. We got a love, got a love. Got a love we gotta share. .
Rich and wealthy canvas. Clustered up in jewels. Finding all your heavyweights. Are featherweights and fools. . Broken all your promises. Broken all your paper plates.
