There was light in the room. Then you left and it was through. Then the frost started in my toes and fingertips.
and it spread and it spread into my heart. and it spread and it spread into my heart.
Then for I don't know how long, I settled in to doing wrong. and as the wind fills the sail, came the thought to hurt myself.
and it spread and it spread into my home. and it spread and it spread into my song.
well there are no lines. separating the truth from the lies. Then you came back from space, with a brand new laugh and a different face. You took my hand and held it up, and shot my arm full of love.
and it spread and it spread into the world and it spread and it spread into the world.
well there are no lines. separating the truth from the lies.
I'm a wanted man, wanted man... I'm wanted, I'm a wanted man... Oh yeah... yeah... ah honey, I'm a wanted man
I'm a wanted man in California, I'm a wanted man in Buffalo I'm a wanted man in Kansas City, I'm a wanted man in Ohio I'm a wanted man in Mississippi, they want me in old Cheyenne Wherever you may look tonight, you will see this wanted man
I might be in Colorado or Georgia by the sea, Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be If you ever see me comin' and you know justa who I am, Don't breathe a word to no one buddy, 'cause I'm a wanted man
Wanted man in Albuquerque, wanted man in Syracuse, Wanted man in Tallahassee, wanted man in Baton Rouge, Wanted man in Arizona, wanted man in Galveston, Wanted man in El Dorado, this wanted man's in great demand
If you ever catch me sleepin', just see the price flashin' 'bove my head, Well take look again my friend, that's a gun pointed at your head
Wanted man by Lucy Watson, wanted man by Jesse Brown, Wanted man by Nellie Johnson, wanted man in this next town
Wanted man by the Boller(?) Sisters, wanted man by Kid Galahad Hey Darlin' don't you tell me you don't want me, cause I'm a wanted man
A wanted man who's lost his will to live, a wanted man who won't lay down, There's a woman kneelin' on my grave, pushin' daisies in the ground
Wanted man in the Windy City, wanted man in Tennessee, Wanted man in Broken Arrow, wanted man in Wounded Knee Wanted man in Jackson Town, Wanted man in El Passo, I got bounties on my head in towns I wouldn't ever think to go
Wanted Man in Arizona, wanted man in Louisville, Wanted man deep in Death Valley, wanted man up in the Hollywood Hill
If the Devil comes collectin', cause he doesn't know I'm a wanted man, he'd better wear a six gun on his hip and hold another in his hand
If you love the wanted man, you best hold him while you can, cause you're gonna wake up one mornin' and find the man you wanted, he is gone
Wanted man in New York City, wanted man in San Anton' Wanted man down in Lorado, wanted man in Tupelo Wanted man in the state of Texas, wanted man in the state of Maine This wanted man's in the state of leavin' ya baby, jumpin' on a midnight train
Wanted man in every courthouse, wanted man in a many saloons, Wanted man is a ghost in hundred homes, a shadow in a thousand rooms
Wanted man down in St. Louis, wanted man in New Orleans Wanted man in Mussel(?) Bay, wanted man in Cripple Creek Wanted man in Detroit City, wanted man in San Anton' But there's one place I'm not wanted lord, it's the place that I call home
Wanted man... Wanted man... If the devil comes collectin' he better hold a six gun in his hand
Load the car and write the note Grab your bag and grab your coat Tell the ones that need to know We are headed north
One foot in and one foot back But it don't pay, to live like that So i cut the ties and i jumped the tracks For never to return
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
When at first I learned to speak I used all my words to fight With him and her and you and me Oh but its just a waste of time Yeah its such a waste of time
That woman shes got eyes that shine Like a pair of stolen polished dimes She asked to dance I said it's fine I'll see you in the morning time
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape im in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Three words that became hard to say I and love and you What you were then, I am today Look at the things I do
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age Your dreams to catch the world, the cage The highway sets the travelers stage All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say I and love and you I and love and you I and love and you
I'll wind off the river Smoke stacks fade to black This town's my own, ridin'free and alone And I'm not looking back Maybe I know some people Maybe I break some rules But this is the street, I've got to compete Baby, I ain't no fool
So I take a little bad with the good It ain't just black and white You've got to deal with the real Oh, living on the edge of the night
Every wild desire Beckons from the dark I've made my bed but I can't rest my head While I still swim with sharks Everyone needs something Sometimes they don't know why But so much good's been misunderstood In the blink of the eye
So I take a little bad with the good It still ain't black and white You've got to deal with the real Oh, living on the edge of the night
You say that you don't like it Or maybe it's just my life So you live yours and I'll keep mine Rolling like a wheel through the city On the edge of the night
And when the black rains down On this cold gray town I'll be waiting Waiting at the edge of the night Oh, living on the edge of the night Oh, living on the edge of the night
There's a red house over yonder, that's where my baby stays. There's a red house over yonder, baby, that's where my baby stays. Well, I ain't been home to see my baby in about ninety nine and one half days, 'bout time I see her.
Wait a minute, something's wrong. The key wont unlock the door. Wait a minute, something's wrong, baby. The key wont unlock the door. I got a bad, bad feeling that my baby don't live here no more.
I might as well go on back down, Go back 'cross yonder over the hill. I might as well go back over yonder Way back yonder 'cross the hill, (That's where I come from) 'Cos if my baby don't love me no more. I know her sister will!
The big silence is here again The big silence is here again tonight Will the love ever come back? Will the love ever come back? I know I've been pushing you away I know it's been going on for days Those awkward little things So endearing Those awkward little things Wear on me See, what we got here is a tired love What we got here is a lazy love It mooches around the house Can't wait to go out What it needs, it just grabs It never asks We sit and watch the divide widen We sit and listen to our hearts crumble With our only chance to jump Neither of us had the guts Maybe we're just too proud To say it out loud The big silence is here again tonight The big silence is here again tonight
When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears It was easy to see that you'd been crying Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns But who really profits from the dying I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever I could hold you in my arms I could hold you in my arms forever
When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions It's my worried mind that you quiet Place your hands on my face Close my eyes and say Love is a poor man's food Don't prophesize I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever And I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever
So now we see how it is This fist begets the spear Weapons of war Symptoms of madness Don't let your eyes refuse to see Don't let your ears refuse to hear Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness I could hold you in my arms I could hold on forever And I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever
The case was pulled from under the bed She made a call to a sympathetic friend And made arrangements The door was closed there was a note I couldnt be bothered Maybe Ill choke No more engagements
With where have you beens And faraway frowns Trying to be good By not being round And here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug That kills only love I want to be good Is that not enough
So play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart Then play me that song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart
I had excuses those little boy lies That she computed by watching my eyes And told me firmly
She couldnt stand it Im bad on her heart She dropped her makeup and I found the bar Now it concerns me
I've had a bad time Now love is resigned Ive been such a fool Ive loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar The piano mans found Another nail for my heart
Hold that chrysalis in your palm, see it split and change It won't do you any harm, it's just trying to rearrange It was born to live a day, now it flies up from your hand It's beautiful, it's the one they call your ever-loving man
Wolves have carried your babies away, oh your kids drip from their teeth The nights are long and the day is bitter cold beyond belief You spread yourself like a penitent upon the mad vibrating sand And through your teeth arrange to meet your midnight man
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wanna be your midnight man
Don't disturb me as I sleep, treat me gently when I wake Don't disturb me when I sleep even though your body aches Even though your body aches to serve at his command Between the wars she still adores her ever-loving man
Close your eyes, sleep in him, dream of your lost sons and daughters Me, I'll raise up the dorsal fin, and glide up and down the waters I'll glide up and down the waters, then I'll walk upon the land And call them out, the ones who doubt your midnight man
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wants to be your midnight man
It's early in the morning and I don't know what to do It's early in the morning and I can't believe it's true It's early in the morning and it's happening again I called you once, I called you twice, ain't I your midnight man?
Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round to my place Everybody's coming round, oh baby, don't you see Everybody wants to be your midnight man
Everybody's coming round Everybody's coming round Everybody's coming round To be your midnight man To be your midnight man
There aint no reason things are this way. Its how they always been and they intend to stay. I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday. Preachers on the podium speakin of saints in seance, Prophets on the sidewalk beggin for change, Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name. I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same, A window and a pigeon with a broken wing, You can spend your whole life workin for something Just to have it taken away. People walk around pushing back their debts, Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets, Talking bout nothing, not thinking bout death, Every little heartbeat, every little breath. People walk a tight rope on a razors edge Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons. It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen Or a thought or a word or a sentence.
There Ain't no reason things are this way. It's how they always been and they intend to stay I dont know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway. But love will come set me free Love will come set me free,I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set me free, yes.
Prison walls still standing tall, Some things never change at all. Keep on buildin prisons, gonna fill them all, Keep on buildin bombs, gonna drop them all. Working your fingers bear to the bone, Breaking your back, make you sell your soul. Like a lung thats filled with coal, suffocatin slow. The wind blows wild and I may move, The politicians lie and I am not fooled. You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth. The air on my skin and the world under my toes, Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes, Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.
Love will come set me free Love will come set me free, I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set me free, yes.
There ain't no reason things are this way Its how they always been and they intend to stay I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
Why don't you come out the guards have gone they forgot their purpose and shuffled their lungs have come feel the sun
Why don't you come out the dogs lie sleeping their lips they twitch with the chills in their dreams they come feel the sun
Why don't you come out and exact your revenge and the liers and wasters that call themselves friends for to forgive is overrated as they need but your affiance so come feel the sun
Why don't you come out we are missing your wife and babies that just want to hold you so come feel the sun touch your fears make everything the same as it was.
We lived in a time and a world of our own Making up the rules as we went along Just one coat between us and we never felt cold We were never gonna get old
Playing cards 'till the sun came up, rollin' dice Down to the club and listen to the blues all night Girls out on the corner get lonely now and then We'd never be that free again
It's been a long time since we laughed together It's been a long time since we cried Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time
Workin' just enough to pay the rent Money got made, baby, money got spent Sleeping when we had nothin' left to do Under the boardwalk and up on the roof
We never quite fit, baby, we never played the game Came out explodin' like a runaway train Up all night talkin' about dreams of better days Ain't it funny how some things don't change?
It's been a long time since we laughed together It's been a long time since we cried Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time
We lived in a time and a world of our own Making up the rules as we went along Just one coat between us and we never felt cold We were never gonna get old
It's been a long time since we laughed together It's been a long time since we cried Raise your glass for the comrades we've lost My friend it's been a long, long time
I was dressed for success But success, it never comes And I'm the only one who laughs At your jokes when they are so bad And you're jokes are always bad But they're not as bad as this Chorus:
Come join us in a prayer We'll be waiting, waiting where Everything's ending here And all the sterile striking it Defends an empty dock you cast away And rain upon your forehead Where the mist's for hire If it's just too clear Let's spend our last 1/4 stance randomly Go down to the outlet once again Painted portrait of minions and slaves Crotch mavens and one night plays Are they the only ones who laugh? At the jokes when they are so bad And the jokes are always bad But they're not as bad as this
(chorus)
And all the spanish candles unsold Have gone away to this And a "run-on piece of mount on" Trembles, shivers runs down the freeway I guess she spent her last quarter randomly I guess a guess is the best I'll do
Slow down, Lie down, Remember it's just you and me. Don't sell out, bow out, Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer, Is that alright? Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus:] Grant my last request, And just let me hold you. Don't shrug your shoulders, Lay down beside me. Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere, But one last time just go there, Lay down beside me
Oh, I've found, that I'm bound To wander down that one way road. And I realise all about your lies But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before.
I just want you closer, Is that alright? Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus]
Oh, baby, baby, baby, Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
I never tought that I could be so bold, to even say these toughts aloud. I see you with him, and your eyes just shine, while he stands tall and walking proud.
That look you give that guy, I wanna see... Looking right at me. If I could be that guy, instead of me... I'd never let you down.
It always seems like you're going somewhere, better than you've been before. When I go to sleep, and I dream all night, of you knocking on my door.
That look you give that guy, I wanna see... Looking right at me. If I could be that guy, instead of me... I'd be all I can be. I'd be all I can be.
I'm nothing like what I'd like to be I'm nothing much, I know it's true. I'd like to stand in a better view And my chances are so few
That look you give that guy, I wanna see... Looking right at me. If I could be that guy, instead of me... I'd give you all I got.
I never tought that I could be so bold, to even say these toughts aloud. But if let's say, it won't work out. You know where I can be found.
That look you give that guy, I wanna see... Looking right at me.
Somebody will know someday Will know why you walked out of me Somebody will know someday Will know why you walked out of me But nobody will know someday Nobody will know that I will never agree
So many will see someday Will see someday the tears that fills your eyes So many will see someday the tears that fills your eyes But nobody will see me when I get reconciled
One misty morning I'm gonna write your name in the sky One misty morning I'm gonna write your name in the sky And after that babe I run away at myself and cry
Maybe there comes a day that you come walking up to me Maybe there comes a day That you come walking up to me That day you know that I will be there
Don't you know that I still love you Can't you see I'm hiding myself In my lonely place, in my lonely place
