I can't believe the things I've seen I wonder bout some things I've heard Everybody's crying mercy When they don't know the meaning of the word A bad enough situation Is sure enough getting worse Everybody's crying justice Just as long as there's business fir...

Don't tell me you don't know what love is When you're old enough to know better WHEN YOU FIND STRANGE HANDS IN YOUR SWEATER When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote I'm a man on a mission in two or three editions And I'm giving you a longing look Everyd...

I marvel at the wonder of it in our souless age Fast flow the tears upon the page Don't be alarmed, I am her friend Will I be excused if I presume As it's more than disappointment that we share You share the same sorry life, the families fight That unhappy bl...

All the leaves are turning yellow, red and brown Soon they'll be scattered as they tumble down Although they may be swept up so invitingly I never did what I was told I trampled though the amber and the burnished gold But now I clearly see how cruel the young...

Figure hanging on a leather band Cog consults the watch he cups in his hand Bejeweled movement measures lost and vanished time Pray for the boy who makes his bed in cold earth and quicklime So stay the hands, arrest the time Till I am captured by your touch B...

Here she comes, you better watch your step She's going to break your heart in two, it's true It's not hard to realize, just look into her false colored eyes She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown 'Cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale) The...

I remember that dance On the roof of my car When St. Lucy's mad torch Took away our best bar Say we drank And we prayed Some just sat like a choir Came the smoke In the night Came the heat Came the fire Ember glow lagered ash I was pissed as a fart Stricken...

That all could gather That we could marry Still Faces absent That she could see this As if time hovered That he'd caress him That jars and lads and Carol Ann were Shouts from brilliant corners Word 'n tears confused Sparks long sky bound Long sky bound Had I...

Now you've heard our refrain And this story must end 'Cause the stars can't stay up They can only descend Say we drank And we prayed Some just sit like a choir Came the smoke In the night Came the heat Came the fire Timber tender Tender will you remember Gri...

When Sunday morning dandruff turns out to be confetti And the cost of living in sin would make a poor man out of Paul Getty The girl in your dreams would have you up on an under age charge And the man of the moment is the lifer at large Chorus: If you've got...

Maybe you'll recognize in time Maybe one day you will discover All the pain that lies behind You and your unfortunate love Somebody might be more Unsuitable and strange With eyes that offer everything That are capable of danger My mind turns over lies you to...

I don't know what I would do If this letter should fall into Other hands than it should pass through For other eyes He said, "It was nothing, it's over and done." But the rotten worm was burrowing still It's spirit invades me bleeding me white For other repli...

Oh, a TV went off like three day old milk That shook this town down better than most And it always was less of an idea and more of a boast Oh, you're burning in the bloom of life Till you're powder in the grave Or you're pounding In the counter begging for mo...

Oh it's not easy to resist temptation Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination Taking ev'ry word she says just like an open invitation But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation Chorus: Like a finger running down a se...

Oh, well, now you're the girl I'm simply mad about. Oh yes, I'm really glad it's been me. Oh yeah. I hope that you've been getting ready, 'Cause I'm gonna ask you to go steady with me. I got two eyes that happened by ya, And when they saw you, they said they k...

Like a full force gale I was lifted up again I was lifted up again by the Lord No matter where I roam I will find my way back home I will always return to the Lord In the gentle evening breeze By the whispering shady trees I will find my sanctuary in the Lor...

Georgie grew to hate her name It sounded like a tiny man And the one she had said "I can't see you But I'll call you whenever I can" Sometimes the phone would ring, when she was half-asleep A voice would drag her down with its suggestions Though she often fel...

At last I've awakened to see what you've done. All I can do is pack up and run. Now I know the rules. Find yourself another fool. You said that you loved me. I was yours to command. Your kind of loving, my heart couldn't stand. You played me for a fool. Find y...

I'm packing up my memories And I'm gonna move all out of your heart I'm turning in my keys And I'm gonna move all out of your heart 'Cause there ain't room enough for two In dreams that were made for me and you I'm telling you, it's getting mighty crowded Too...
