Lyrics

[00:48.220] Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
[00:53.000] Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
[00:56.900] If I said that you're my friend
[01:00.060] And our love would never end
[01:04.350] How long before I had your trust again
[01:05.580] I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
[01:08.850] Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
[01:13.080] But how can I protect you
[01:15.190] Or try not to neglect you
[01:17.170] When you won't take the love I have to give
[01:21.520] I bought me an illusion
[01:23.410] An I put it on the wall
[01:25.620] I let it fill my head with dreams
[01:27.570] And I had to have them all
[01:29.770] But oh the taste is never so sweet
[01:31.730] As what you'd believe it is-
[01:33.690] Well I guess it never is
[01:35.440] It's these prejudiced illusions
[01:37.510] That pump the blood
[01:38.940] To the heart of the biz
[01:48.380] You know I never thought
[01:49.970] That it could take so long
[01:51.900] You know I never knew how to be strong
[01:53.830] Yeah, I let you shape me
[01:57.800] But I feel as though you raped me
[01:59.650] 'Cause you climbed inside my world
[02:01.440] And in my songs
[02:03.920] So now I've closed the door
[02:05.280] To keep the cold outside
[02:07.890] Seems somehow I've found the will to live
[02:11.810] But how can I forget you
[02:13.780] Or try not to reject you
[02:15.860] When we both know it takes time to forgive
[02:22.650] Sweetness is a virtue
[02:24.470] And you lost your virtue long ago
[02:26.330] You know I'd like to hurt you
[02:28.410] But my conscience always tells me no
[02:30.740] You could sell your body on the street
[02:32.920] To anyone whom you might meet
[02:35.010] Who'd love to try and get inside
[02:36.970] And bust your innocence open wide
[02:39.730] 'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
[02:41.920] My baby's gone off the track
[02:43.160] My baby's got a locomotive
[02:45.320] Got ta peel the bitch off my back
[02:47.850] I know it looks like I'm insane
[02:52.170] Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[02:56.490] No
[03:05.500] Gonna have some fun with my frustration
[03:08.460] Gonna watch the big screen in my head
[03:12.460] I'd rather take a detour
[03:14.460] 'Cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
[03:16.310] Your train of thought has cut me off again
[03:20.220] Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
[03:23.330] Better tame that boy for he's a man
[03:28.820] Sweetheart don't make me laugh
[03:30.490] You's gettin' too big for your pants
[03:32.340] And I's think maybe you should
[03:34.380] Cut out while you can
[03:37.230] You can use you illusion-
[03:38.710] Let it take you where it may
[03:40.980] We live and learn
[03:42.200] And then sometimes it's best to walk away
[03:44.970] Me I'm just here hangin' on
[03:46.900] It's my only place to stay at least
[03:49.170] For now anyway
[03:50.840] I've worked too hard for my illusions
[03:52.830] Just to throw them all away
[04:03.390] I'm taking time for quiet consolation
[04:07.100] In passing by this love that's passed away
[04:11.090] I know it's never easy-
[04:12.810] So why should you believe me
[04:14.890] When I've always got so many things to say
[04:18.970] Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
[04:22.220] 'Cause playful hearts
[04:24.140] Can sometimes be enraged
[04:27.630] You know I tried to wake you-
[04:29.370] I mean how long could it take you
[04:31.490] To open up your eyes and turn the page
[04:37.610] Kindness is a treasure-
[04:39.340] And it's one towards me you've seldom shown
[04:41.640] So I'll say it for good measure
[04:43.570] To all the ones like you I've known
[04:45.730] Ya know I'd like to shave your head
[04:47.690] And all my friends could
[04:50.060] paint it red
[04:52.210] 'Cause love to me's a two way street
[04:52.770] An all I really want is peace
[04:53.890] But my baby's got a locomotive
[04:57.010] My baby's gone off the track
[04:58.720] My baby's got a locomotive
[05:00.750] Got ta peel the bitch off my back
[05:03.150] I know it looks like I'm insane
[05:04.870] Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[05:11.580] No
[05:42.550] Affection is a blessing
[05:44.360] Can you find it in your sordid heart
[05:46.150] I tried to keep this thing
[05:48.340] ta-gether
[05:49.100] But the tremor tore my pad apart
[05:50.840] Yeah I know it's hard to face
[05:52.540] When all we've worked for's gone to waste
[05:54.650] But you're such a stupid woman
[05:56.540] And I'm such a stupid man
[05:58.170] But love like time's got its own plans
[06:00.220] 'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
[06:01.350] My baby's gone off the track
[06:02.890] My baby's got a locomotive
[06:04.980] Got ta peel the bitch off my back
[06:07.320] I know it looks like I'm insane
[06:10.910] Take a closer look I'm not to blame
[06:14.580] Yeah
[06:17.670] If love is blind I guess
[06:21.540] I'll buy myself a cane
[06:58.260] Love's so strange
[07:05.370] Love's so strange
