Oh god I fell for you She is benediction, benediction She is addicted, addicted to thee She is the root connection, root connection He is connecting, connecting is he Here I go, and I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be she's taking over me? I'm dancing barefoot Heading for a spin Some strange music draws me in Makes me come on like some heroine, like some heroine She is sublimation, she is sublimation She is the essence, the essence of thee She is concentrating, concentrating on He who has been chosen, chosen by she Here I go, and I don't know why I fell so ceaselessly Could I lose my sense of gravity? She is re-creation, she is re-creation She is intoxicated by thee She has the slow sensation, slow sensation that He is levitating, levitating with she I'm dancing barefoot In mid-air I spin Some strange music draws me in Makes me come on like some heroine, like some heroine The plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face The mystery of childbirth, childhood itself Grave visitations What is it that calls to us? Why must we pray screaming? Why must not death be redefined? We shut our eyes We stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass Affixation, a fix on anything: the line of life, the limb on a tree The hands of he, or the promise that she is blessed among women
Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere I've told you everything I possibly can Nothing left inside of me I poured it on, and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much I care I'm tired of words, and I'm too hoarse to shout But you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears And all I can do is keep on telling you I want you (I want you) I need you (I need you) But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you So don't be sad, two out of three ain't bad Come on don't be sad (don't be sad) 'Cause two out of three ain't bad I can't lie I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not No matter how I try I'll never be able To give you something Something that I just haven't got There was only one time I ever been in love And that was so many years ago And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door She packed her bags and turned right away Packed her bags and turned away Packed her bags and turned away And I can still hear her say And she kept on telling me Yeah she kept on telling me You know
Images of you, only this and nothing more Worried shades of blue, dancing on the thinnest floor Reaching out for you, you are slipping through my hands You are here, then you're gone, once again I am alone The more I seek, the less I find, but still you're always on my mind I'm chasing your ghost, your ghost, chasing your ghost I hear your voice, but day by day your apparition fades away I'm chasing your ghost, your ghost, chasing your ghost Shadows in my bed, how could I be so mislead? Voices in my head, am I living, am I dead? Wandering the hall, come closer, I can't see you at all I need to hold you near, your disappearing is my fear The more I seek, the less I find, but you are always on my mind 'Cause I'm chasing your ghost, chasing your ghost I hear your voice day by day, but your apparition slips away I'm chasing your ghost, your ghost, chasing your ghost
There's an army on the dance floor It's a fashion with a gun my love In a room without a door A kiss is not enough in Love my way It's a new road I follow where my mind goes They'd put us on a railroad Dearly make us pay For laughing in their faces And making it our way There's emptiness behind their eyes There's dust in all their hearts They just want to steal us all And take us all apart but not in Love my way Love my way Hey it's a new road I'm gonna follow Swallow all your tears my love Put on your new face You can never win or lose If you don't run the race
Walk with personality Talk with personality Walk with personality Talk with personality Well it's gonna be a pretty bad week And my friends don't want another speech But there ain't gonna be a better day To say what I got to say 'Cause I got a personality crisis I got it while it was hot (it's always hot because) Frustration and heartache is what I got I got a personality (walk), yeah, yeah, yeah (talk) Well now I wanna be something, now I wanna do something I wanna be someone who cow wow wow wows But I'm thinkin' about the times I did, they took every ounce Yeah but I don't feel that ounce of shame when I start to scream and shout 'Cause I got a personality crisis I got it while it was hot (it's always hot because) Frustration and heartache is what I got Talkin' about my personality, yeah, yeah, yeah, (walk) with personality (talk) Well with all the taunts and fates that mother nature sends My mirrors getting jammed up with all my friends Too much personality when my mind starts to bend Too much personality impression of a friend, Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend Too much personality, everything's startin' to blend Just like my personality crisis
Is it a star, or is it me You say you believe in? And the nights When my stage smile not so wild, ain't coming easy. Can't you see it's me All broken down inside? Can't you see it's me All broken down inside? Can't you see it's me All broken down inside? Can't you see it's me? Honey, you've been dreaming Then they meet you on the streets, and say they've had A crush on you for a year or two, maybe it was three And they say "Hi, how you doing," but is it really me, or you, You say you believe in Baby, you've been dreaming Baby, you've been dreaming Is it a star, or is it me You say you believe in? And all the nights When my stage smile lasts awhile, coming easy.
Standing in a corn field, hat in your hand, the wind is whipping at the weather vane Just a young girl in a big wide world, the days seem to last forever I pull up on a tractor, an old John Deere, smile, and offer up some water The clouds are rolling, the corn is growing, the kids are playing by the chicken shed Then I wake up in our apartment, and we're down on the lower east side You tell me what you dreamed about, it keeps me up all night You tell me your dreams, I give you my heart You tell me your dreams, I give you my heart Flying down a staircase, a cat in your arms, a man is crouching by the living room There's blood in his eyes, and no place to hide, just you and him You're floating above it, just out of his reach, he smiles and looks just like your brother The cat is purring, the carpet's burning, and the walls close in Then I wake up in my apartment, and I'm far from the lower east side You call me on the telephone and keep me up all night
In a way the sun has shone on me Makes it easy to make it hard Take an inch, take a yard, take it all I don't need it at all Any day the sun could shine on you Makes it silly to make it bad Take it good, take it glad, take it all Don't you know there's a stronger thing Keeping us together Don't you know there's a song to sing Sing on, let the feeling take you high Any day the sun will shine on you Makes it silly to make it bad Make it good, take it glad, take it all I don't need it at all, I don't want it at all, I don't need it at all
Well I saw you today and realized How I missed my peace of mind I feel your breath in my ear Late at night it's you I always think about That little girl inside of you I once knew I should have known better But still the smell of you is on my face But you were too busy to notice me last night Now I can't take it alone I can't make it alone I can't take it alone I can't make it alone I can't take it I can't make it alone Oh no, ooh whoo, oh no Well I tell myself I'll put you down Don't wanna see your face around Don't call me up anymore When I hear your voice, it's in my ear You're kisses on the phone It makes it all come clear I try to tell myself Don't need you anymore Don't want you hangin' around my door Oh no Now I can't take it alone I can't make it alone I can't take it alone I can't make it alone I can't take it I can't make it alone Oh no no I can't take it I can't make it alone You know how much I tried I can't take it I can't make it alone Ooh my pretty baby I can't take it I can't make it alone
Dear God, hope you got the letter, and I pray you can make it better down here. I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer, But all the people that you made in your image, See them starving on their feet 'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God. I can't believe in you. Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears, And all the people that you made in your image, See them fighting in the street, 'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God. Now I can't believe in you. Did you make disease and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too! Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book. Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, And all the people that you made in your image Still believing that junk is true, Well I know it ain't, so do you, dear God. I can't believe in, I don't believe in I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, And it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax, And if you're up there, you'd perceive That my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe It's you. Can't believe in you. Don't believe in you. Won't believe in you. It's you, dear God.
Out of my mind, I must be out of my mind To let a thing like real, real pain, you left me out in the rain, oh wo wo How many times must I keep moving on when I already was there? How many years must I live alone, tie me on your bed of nails and Hit me over the head! Spit in my face! Bang on the drum! I must be blind, I must be blind Hit me over the head! Step on my feet! Make me feel numb! I must be blind, I must be going out of my mind... and it's worrying me Out of control, I must be out of control To let a silly thing like this hurt my soul, I must be out of control whoa whoa whoa How could a thing like this get me down, I'm a militant man? How many times must I carry on? Tie me on your bed of nails and Hit me over the head! Spit in my face! Bang on the drum! I must be blind, I must be blind Hit me over the head! Step on my feet! Make me feel numb! I must be blind, I must be out of my mind She should have told me, she could have let me down easy That woman should have told me, but I've got to pay for it now
You see your chance for life You see it pass you by You see your chance for life It makes you want to cry You see that spark called life You know the reason why You see your chance for life And you just can't let it die You feel her in the room You feel her in the night She's sent to share your gloom And turn it into light Her presence in the room Touches you late at night And you can feel her love She makes everything all right 'Cause she's everything, perfection Like a circle 'round the sun She's everything, perfection She's somewhere in the heart of everyone There is no time like now No better place than here Don't ever wonder how Baby just believe I'm here There is no time like now No better place than here Don't ever wonder how Just as long as you are near 'Cause you're everything, perfection Like a circle 'round the sun You're everything, perfection Somewhere in the heart of everyone
Walk like a man. Talk like a man. Walk like a man. You can call me your man. Little girl asked me what am I gonna' do, When I get old and blue and worn half through? And I said, by that time I'll be in my prime, I'm gonna' strut like a cock until I'm ninety-nine. I'm gonna walk like a man. Talk like a man. Gonna walk like a man. You can call me your man. Sometimes I feel like it's gettin' late, And all that settlin' down can wait. Before my routine days all seem the same, I've got to get on out, I gotta play my game.
Realize When you go out on the road, you keep looking behind you And you're leaving no trail around, so nobody can find you When the rain comes pouring down, got nothing to hide you When the cold freezes the ground, there ain't nothing inside you When you gonna realize you've got nothing to lose? (realize?) When you gonna realize you've got nothing to lose? And when that train pulls out, you better know that she's leaving She took away any shadow of doubt, left you nothing to believe in
