|
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness |
|
Yeah I' ll find a way to cure the pain |
|
If I said that you' re my friend |
|
And our love would never end |
|
How long before I had your trust again |
|
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside |
|
Hopin' that you' d find your own way in |
|
But how can I protect you |
|
Or try not to neglect you |
|
When you won' t take the love I have to give |
|
I bought me an illusion |
|
An I put it on the wall |
|
I let it fill my head with dreams |
|
And I had to have them all |
|
But oh the taste is never so sweet |
|
As what you' d believe it is |
|
Well I guess it never is |
|
It' s these prejudiced illusions |
|
That pump the blood |
|
To the heart of the biz |
|
You know I never thought |
|
That it could take so long |
|
You know I never knew how to be strong |
|
Yeah, I let you shape me |
|
But I feel as though you raped me |
|
' Cause you climbed inside my world |
|
And in my songs |
|
So now I' ve closed the door |
|
To keep the cold outside |
|
Seems somehow I' ve found the will to live |
|
But how can I forget you |
|
Or try not to reject you |
|
When we both know it takes time to forgive |
|
Sweetness is a virtue |
|
And you lost your virtue long ago |
|
You know I' d like to hurt you |
|
But my conscience always tells me no |
|
You could sell your body on the street |
|
To anyone whom you might meet |
|
Who' d love to try and get inside |
|
And bust your innocence open wide |
|
' Cause my baby' s got a locomotive |
|
My baby' s gone off the track |
|
My baby' s got a locomotive |
|
Got ta peel the bitch off my back |
|
I know it looks like I' m insane |
|
Take a closer look I' m not to blame |
|
No |
|
Gonna have some fun with my frustration |
|
Gonna watch the big screen in my head |
|
I' d rather take a detour |
|
' Cause this road ain' t gettin' clearer |
|
Your train of thought has cut me off again |
|
Better tame that boy ' cause he' s a wild one |
|
Better tame that boy for he' s a man |
|
Sweetheart don' t make me laugh |
|
You' s gettin' too big for your pants |
|
And I' s think maybe you should |
|
Cut out while you can |
|
You can use you illusion |
|
Let it take you where it may |
|
We live and learn |
|
And then sometimes it' s best to walk away |
|
Me I' m just here hangin' on |
|
It' s my only place to stay at least |
|
For now anyway |
|
I' ve worked too hard for my illusions |
|
Just to throw them all away |
|
I' m taking time for quiet consolation |
|
In passing by this love that' s passed away |
|
I know it' s never easy |
|
So why should you believe me |
|
When I' ve always got so many things to say |
|
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made |
|
' Cause playful hearts |
|
Can sometimes be enraged |
|
You know I tried to wake you |
|
I mean how long could it take you |
|
To open up your eyes and turn the page |
|
Kindness is a treasure |
|
And it' s one towards me you' ve seldom shown |
|
So I' ll say it for good measure |
|
To all the ones like you I' ve known |
|
Ya know I' d like to shave your head |
|
And all my friends could |
|
paint it red |
|
' Cause love to me' s a two way street |
|
An all I really want is peace |
|
But my baby' s got a locomotive |
|
My baby' s gone off the track |
|
My baby' s got a locomotive |
|
Got ta peel the bitch off my back |
|
I know it looks like I' m insane |
|
Take a closer look I' m not to blame |
|
No |
|
Affection is a blessing |
|
Can you find it in your sordid heart |
|
I tried to keep this thing |
|
tagether |
|
But the tremor tore my pad apart |
|
Yeah I know it' s hard to face |
|
When all we' ve worked for' s gone to waste |
|
But you' re such a stupid woman |
|
And I' m such a stupid man |
|
But love like time' s got its own plans |
|
' Cause my baby' s got a locomotive |
|
My baby' s gone off the track |
|
My baby' s got a locomotive |
|
Got ta peel the bitch off my back |
|
I know it looks like I' m insane |
|
Take a closer look I' m not to blame |
|
Yeah |
|
If love is blind I guess |
|
I' ll buy myself a cane |
|
LOVE' S SO STRANGE |
|
LOVE' S SO STRANGE |
