When the pages of life Get worn, burnt and torn When your eyes are red And you can't remember what was said Call me once or twice baby I promise to never say maybe
When haste drips like paste Like paint from a babies fingers Don't sit down and linger For the smoke in your mind is for real Just call on me once or twice baby And I won't tell you maybe
Make your way to my place I'll shout out "This is what it's all about!" And the grey clouds will turn white No longer having to put up a fight Call on me once or twice baby You won't ever be hearing maybe
If you start to believe our worries And dogs no longer bark but growl You say hello to strangers And they won't even hand you a towel Just call on me once or twice baby, You won't ever hear a maybe
After the sun has set And the fishermen have reeled in their nets Your stomach is done n' empty And death starts to look temping Call on me once or twice, Cause you'll never be hearing maybe
I am back where I started Like time stopped and im back in it The lonesome whisper Those lonesome sisters They make you cry and they Make your heart sigh
Pass the sergeant whose *** knee Is broken and is about to sneeze All this repetition is bringing to fruition A new kind of terror that This mind can't handle and the Body melts like a candle
The bed is burning as I'm yearning For another shot of the hard stuff and A kiss from a lover that seems to hover Across the floorboards of my flat as she Wears an old worn coonskin cap
Repeated love affairs that bare A resemblance to the rear of a steer Cause' that is the way time works on us Forcing us to remember though All we want is to forget an' disregard
And in the heart of the black night That dances with no shame only ****** Her finger is naked where the gold used to be Pale in the sunlight that strikes her stony bones Hearts hear the beating of their own and Love is alone sitting atop its private throne
Coursing where the blunt fact of our age Shakes trembles crumbles in the hands Of the judges whose chocolate smudges Remind me of their nubile weak baby bodies Protruding their souls out from their mothers womb Cracking their lips and knuckles from the Chill wind now alone with tasks and obligation Falling to the way side
Former ways of living are now taken aback They are heated in the sun across the lake of tons Misunderstood medallions with princes and their wives Dancing to the music they will hear when they die No note knows no length or death For in that final step to rest be not afraid Friends will guide your hand like the wind Does the sane
I scratch my eyes as I think of Alice Alone in the far away from me Her sight vanishing like our love just the same The smoke still resting on the waves The bears still resting inside their caves Ice on the horizon where inside is the stink Tell me what I am as my speech turns to a drawl Out of the states so far away Inside I know these words will make it all O.K.
But now with the droopy piano man And whispers that aren't mine but his I recall a guy I used to stare at and know He mentioned his name before he had to go Cause' now I am a new man With nothing and everything left to give Attention to the pain of the people around me Save the love for the one that deserves it She was the one and I let her slip away And for that I pay and pay Every single day
Let me let you in a little secret Hot like an iron and sweet like a rose An alley where no one ventures or goes A tune that is quiet but you try and deny it Let me let you where I have been In between living and the fall of the dice Where time has no face and The joker's are always present Where money moves through your sheets Like your long cheating husband or The smell of cheap bourbon
In this hour years turn to sand and The thought of yourself turns blue Out of breathe the sirens of the sea call And misery makes its final chess move They is a maddening presence where Every pain in the world is true You cannot escape from the maze like labyrinth It tells you it loves you so You have nowhere to go and nothing else To do
Dream through the mist where clouds are the mountains And rivers are painted with flecks of metallic gold Candy cane tongues with a chocolate kiss eyes Her way was forbidden but never in the sky A shout from the corridor a murmur from the hall Tell the tale loudly or the pail of life will seem pale
There is nowhere to go from here You are here with me We are here together And there is no where new to go from here Do not fret, no Do not whimper and please Do not be scared We are meant to be here together You are forever here with me We will learn how to love How to live and Learn to see All over again
And the ways that were have now changed "Culture will turn into steam" "Hearts will turn to stone" "Minds to mush and computers to man" Forgetting the way the wind blows through the thicket The moon casting its white hate on the lovely night Creaking boards as crippling rivers Collect their wares and head down the road Strangers to a home they have always known Gibberish in the eyes of God and his counterparts Confusion: the only comfort in a world of immediacy The only sanity in a world of the opposite
There must be a way out of this way There must be another bay It is on the horizon or this is a lie Entranced by the entrance Not myself, no not this time A shake and a cry never mentioning the whistling lie Forbearance here weighs out its own death Too much here rather too much then there
Poor joe that tells himself he stills sane That music is the only way out The only price that one can pay The crouched hidden gem that litters his ears Standing on the street corner florescent and majestic Glitter in his eyes and fire in his soul Not a thought in his mind only the notes in his hand Telling the bar man just him and her on the next one That this is the place where they place his favorite song And the haste at which his fire was made God's hands were blistered for he didn't have a plan Knocking around the **** like he whipped out at the john And the ball is outta' the park and the girls are all screaming A leaning beaming loud crack of all reasons Mentioning professionalism at a bar filled with shining stars The bathroom is broken so shake on out and grab your sandals Oh yeh oh yeh oh yeh oh oh yeh They tell me I belong here but most days I just don't see it
