Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Everybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that --
I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men
Secret compartments hide all their skeletons
Little girl wants to make her home with him
In the middle of the shore, she wonders
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know **** well where you'll go
I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all
From their coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls
With their bones they'll scratch the window, I hear them call
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."
Stay with me under these waves, tonight
Be free for once in your life tonight

While this town is busy sleeping,
all the noise has died away.
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
'cause she'll never change her ways.
Don't fool yourself,
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Ah, my heart feels so still
as I try to find the will to forget her,
somehow.
Her love is a rose, pale and dying,
dropping her petals in land unknown,
all full of wine the world before her
was sober with no place to go.
Well my tears are falling down as I try to forget,
her love was a joke from the day that we met.
All of the words, all of her men,
all of my pain when I think back to when.
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
the smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done,
tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again.
But don't fool yourself,
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Oh, my heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's out there somewhere now.

Eternal Life is now on my trail,
got my red glitter coffin, man,
just need one last nail,
while all these ugly gentlemen
play out their foolish games,
there's a flaming red horizon
that screams our names
and as your fantasies
are broken in two
did you really think
this ****** road would
pave the way for you?
You better turn around
and blow your kiss hello
to life eternal, angel.
Racist everyman,
what have you done?
Man, you've made a killer
of your unborn son...
Crown my fear your king
at the point of a gun,
all I want to do
is love everyone...
There's no time for hatred
only questions,
Where is love?
Where is happiness?
what is Life?
Where is peace?
When will I find the strength
to bring me release?
And tell me where is the love
in what your prophet has said?
Man, It sounds to me just
like a prison for
the walking dead
Now I've got a message
for you and your twisted hell,
You better turn around
and blow your kiss goodbye
to life eternal angel...
angel...

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
and be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because (it) brings me back you...
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...

Love,
let me sleep tonight on your couch
and remember the smell of the fabric
of your simple city dress.
Oh, that was so real
We walked around
until the moon got full like a plate,
the wind blew an invocation,
could have fell asleep at the gaze
and I never stepped on the cracks
because I knew I'd lose my mother,
and I couldn't awake from
the nightmare that ****** me in
and pulled me under,
pulled me under.
Oh, that was so real
I love you but I'm afraid to love you
Oh, that was so real

There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time
Of time
Wait in the fire...
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and i believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave
Leave behind
Wait in the fire...
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
I'm only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
Hmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd
I'm a stranger in this town
You're free with me
And our eyes locked in downcast love
I sit here proud
Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me
Oh, I'm only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
I know the tears we cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There's nothing in our way
My love
Don't you see, don't you see?
You're just the torch to put the flame to all our guilt and shame
And I'll rise like an ember in your name
I know I, I know I
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
Oh let me show you
That love can rise, rise just like embers
Love can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,
And I know they all looks so good from a distance
But I tell you I'm the one
I know everybody here, well, thinks he needs you
Think he needs you
And I'll be waiting right here just to show you.

Looking out the door I see
the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
parading in a wake of sad relations
as their shoes fill up with water,
and maybe I'm too young
to keep good love from going wrong,
but tonight you're on my mind
so you never know.
Broken down and hungry for your love
with no way to feed it.
Where are you tonight, child
you know how much i need it.
Too young to hold on and
too old to just break free and run.
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
when he feels like he should be having his fun
and much too blind to see the damage he's done.
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really,
he has no-one.
So I'll wait for you... and I'll burn,
will I ever see your sweet return,
Oh will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
Lonely is the room, the bed is made,
the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
that will never come
It's never over,
my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over,
all my riches for her smiles
when I slept so soft against her
It's never over,
all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over,
she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Well maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong
Oh... lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
