You saw me looking through your window
Chalk it up to curiosity
I made my shy advances
But pretty sure I knew
That I could really fall for a girl like you

I saw you looking through my window
You say you don’t believe in destiny
So you took your chances
And asked me what was new
I said I could really fall for a girl like you

Some people have it all together
But they’re so closed off you know
That no one else can enter

We found us opening up our windows
And felt at home in each other’s company
Ask me what romance is
I haven’t got a clue
But I could really fall for a girl like you

Lay beside you
For the evening
As I watch you while you’re sleeping, the air holds your cologne

Feel you near me
Safely keeping
Every heartbeat in your heartbeat, as if it were my own

Anywhere you go you know I’ll follow
I’d never find another you
Others had me all alone and hollow
Not like you, not like you

More than loving
It’s hand-in-gloving
Once in a lifetime, at the right time, you, love, came along

Anywhere you go you know I’ll follow
I’d never find another you
Others had me all alone and hollow
Not like you, not like you

If you had me
Answer truly
How I found you in a million, surely I don’t know
But here beside you
Holding onto
It’s forever to wherever they say the angels go

The sun is up, it’s a brand new day
You and I we’ll, we’ll slip away
And we’ll find a place
A private place to kiss

The sky is open, the road is callin’
We’ll drive all day until the nighttime’s fallen
But we’ll find a place
A private place to kiss

Don’t keep me waiting
I’ve been waiting far too long
No hesitating
Climb on the back
With your little ol’ suitcase
And we’re gone, gone, gone, gone

The sun is up, it’s a brand new day
You and I we’ll, we’ll slip away
And we’ll find a place
A private place to kiss
Yeah, we’ll find a place
A private place to kiss
Yeah, we’ll find a place
A private place to kiss

I’ve heard some wounds they never heal themselves
They just continue on bleeding softly
My words you hear and you say you understand
But if you really did I wouldn’t have to ask
Are you listening?

I’ve heard some birds fly high on broken wings
Their will to carry on has never left them
Inside shy men there lies a bold orator
Dying to get out but he himself has asked
Are you listening?

We know that love is blind
The eye can’t tell the right one from the left
And so the heart gives out a sigh
Who would have thought love might be deaf?
Might well be deaf

I’ve heard some wounds they never heal themselves
They just continue on bleeding softly
My words you hear and you say you understand
But if you really did I wouldn’t have to ask
Are you listening?

Monday’s gone, it won’t make a difference
Won’t be the last, you know
Tuesday’s done, it had no existence
Please be the last to go
You took what you hadn’t to
Now, I’ll show you what a fool can do
I’ll free my heart and make a brand new start by Wednesday

Thursday back, I couldn’t get enough of that
Friday night with you
Saturday rolled on right through Sunday
The last thing I meant to do
You took what you hadn’t to
Now, I’ll show you what a fool can do
I’ll free my heart and make a brand new start by Wednesday

Some little teeny in Vegas, looking more like twenty-nine
Said she could do me her wages
I said I’ll think it over — I thought it over
I got another love on my mind

Monday’s gone, it won’t make a difference
Won’t be the last, you know
Tuesday’s done, it had no existence
Please be the last to go
You took what you hadn’t to
Now, I’ll show you what a fool can do
I’ll free my heart and make a brand new start
I’ll take those things that you took apart
And I’ll pour me another shot for a good part of Wednesday
A good part of Wednesday

Would you be mad at me if I
Called you up at midnight for tea and cheese
Waken up from your beautiful beauty sleep?

Daytime is such a bore to me
Sunlight fades the life right out of me
Start to breathe when the sun melts into the sea

They say a person spends a third of their life
In a state of sleep
And I sure for a night from a third of your life with me
Beats counting sheep

Well, I must confess, darling
That when I saw you there that night in the Casbah
I was so taken up by your incredible beauty
That I lost my mind on that Friday night
And I’ve had trouble concentrating

They say a person spends a third of their life
In a state of sleep
And I sure for a night from a third of your life with me
Beats counting sheep

Could it be that I’m just a boy at heart
My verbosity hiding my fear of the dark
On a Freudian paradigm from the start?

But could you really be made at me if I
Called you up at midnight for tea and cheese
Waken up from your beautiful beauty sleep?

instrumental / no lyrics

We were in business I know who you are
There was a time when we were never apart
But now it’s fingers off
You used to think my hands were soft
Strangers in the beginning of love
Funny how it ends the same when it’s up
And it’s sad but true
I no longer know you

But they’ve heard you talkin’
When it’s me, the cat’s got your tongue

I couldn’t wait to feel the touch of your skin
A deeper, drunker love I’d never been in
And when the lights were out …
Oh, it’s sometimes all I think about
Over and over running through my head
I see you lying on the side of the bed
But with your back to me
As both of us lay silently

But they’ve heard you talkin’
When it’s me, the cat’s got your tongue

Well I have said all I have to say
I couldn’t make it any clearer today
Maybe in time I will
Listen to this song until
Strangers in the beginning of love
Funny how it ends the same when it’s up
And it’s sad but true
I no longer know you

But they’ve heard you talkin’
When it’s me the cat’s got your tongue

I tore my colostomy bag
Well it’s bound to be bad
Was the best I ever had
That ol’ colostomy bag

Stars in the sky tonight I cast a wish away
And if I may I might live long to see the day
Sunlight come shining through, I’d thank my lucky stars
To see your changed face and still know who you are

And somewhere down along the road
We’ll lighten up our load
And all the world will see
That somewhere down along the road
We’ll find a happy home
Made for you and me

The best laid plans of wiser men have gone awry
And every now and then I stop to wonder why
I wish that I could wipe the slate and start anew
But I know to carry on is all there is to do

And somewhere down along the road
We’ll lighten up our load
And all the world will see
That somewhere down along the road
We’ll find a happy home
Made for you and me

Stars in the sky tonight I cast a wish away
And if I may I might live long to see the day
Sunlight come burning down I’d curse my lucky stars
To see no change around us having come this far

And somewhere down along the road
We’ll lighten up our load
And all the world will see
That somewhere down along the road
We’ll find a happy home
Made for you and me

We’ll find a happy home
Made for you and me

See how all the leaves have fallen from the trees
Feel the North wind blowin’ down his cooler breeze
Summer’s moved along and Autumn holds the lease
Red and yellow, gold and orange take over the green

Ba ba ba baaa bup ba

It seems our budding love was like a springtime tree
New and fresh and full of great expectancy
Well, now I’ve hung around and shown my colours true
Deep and mellow, long and lasting I’ve fallen in love with you

Ba ba ba baaa bup ba

See how all the leaves have fallen from the trees
Feel the North wind blowin’ down his cooler breeze
Summer’s moved along and Autumn holds the lease
Red and yellow, gold and orange take over the green , yeah yeah

Ba ba ba baaa bup ba

There are things that I can’t change
‘Cause time won’t let me
If we never meet again
Will you forget me?
Everybody’s got some things
They’d do different if they could
Oh, darlin’, please, forgive me

There are things that I can’t change
Like that you met me
But if I had to do it all again
On that you could bet me
There are just too many things
In this world we can’t control
Oh, darlin’, please, forgive me

Everybody’s wanting you to come home, to come home
But our fate is on the wind and who knows where it’ll blow. Ooo

They say there are things that change
And things unending
Well, I’d have tried to ease your pain
If you had let me
But if you wind up all alone
And you need someone to call
Oh, darlin’, please, forgive me
Oh, darlin’, please, forgive me

Two friends close together
Yet still some miles apart
And one hopes that the other
Has a place within her heart
For more than just acquaintance
And meaningless good-byes
‘Cause both are finer people
Than their lovers realize
And something magic happens
Like you read about in books
When two special people get together

Could two so close together
Be standing back to back
At a love so near but never
Had the chance to run the track
And just like two young school kids
On a common pathway home
Walking with each other
Have seen how both have grown
And something magic happens
Like you read about in books
When two special people get together

She stood on the balcony
Looking down on the ground for me and I knew
That this was no way to start our honeymoon
As we wondered what to do
Fingertip-blown kisses flew, and I drew
A plan up in my head
It’s going to work out nice with a little imagination
A little imagination
A little imagination

Her mom and papa sleeping in their bed
Through enough noise to wake the dead ‘cause I goofed
I thought those garbage cans would hold my weight
My love was getting madder
Said,”Go try the ladder.” So I did
And laid it up the house
Looks like it’ll work out nice with a little imagination
A little imagination
A little imagination

Sweaty palms and a hangin’ tongue
Climbed to heaven rung by rung, ‘til I fell
Down through the roof of my white ragtop car
Her mom slammed the window
I know but I don’t know what I did
But I’m going to win her back
‘Cause I’ll be working out with a little imagination
A little imagination
A little imagination

One day I’ll be back up on my feet, yeah
Walking with my head up down the street, yeah
Beggars that I meet they’ll beg
The dumb incline to speak

Ahh, send heartache on the run
Lead me back to my fair one

One day I was lame, I was down, yeah
With a happy-sad face on me like a clown, yeah
With all the card tricks up my sleeve
And dove-things on the ground

Ahh, send heartache on the run
Lead me back to my fair one

Ahh, send heartache on the run
Lead me back to my fair one
That’s the matter
‘Til the day is done
Nothing matters
‘Til that day is done
Lead me back to my fair one

Here, upon the wall,
I’m breaking and I got to say
But where am I to fall
If you won’t catch me anyway?
Will I be left to wonder?
Wondering about the spell I’m under

Maybe I’m to blame
I can’t make my mind up
Maybe that’s the name of the game
But I can’t quite define it
Will I be left to wonder
Wondering about the spell I’m under

I know that you will never
See things through my eyes
My heart’s like the Eggman’s cracks
And heaven knows what all the king’s men tried

Here, upon the wall,
Teetering every day
And here, before I fall,
There’s one thing I got to say
Will I be left to wonder
Wondering about the spell I’m under
Whoa, whoa

Friends say I been making sad music
Dwelling on a broken heart
They say like a drug I abuse it
Push a good thing way too far
I was never tough enough
Love and misery fit like hand in glove
And somewhere I read:
Life is a sea and love is a fog
Who killed the lighthouse keeper?

Post offices picturing an outlaw
Under the legal age
Last night I had her in the back seat
She smiled and pulled my leg
There’s never room enough
No one loves loving quite enough
And somewhere I read:
Life is a sea and love is a fog
Who killed the lighthouse keeper?

Once I had a woman
She was sweet as she could be
But won’t you tell me woman
What is to become of me?
I gave her all I had to give
And one thing I did learn
You don’t give anything for free
Without a guaranteed return
Well, she helped herself to my love
Now the love’s run dry
Now the love’s run dry
Now the love’s run dry

Some guys suck on fingers
Some guys suck on toes
Well, I was sucked into her heart
By her Roman Catholic nose
And being too dumb about her background
She took the Bible from the shelf
And read to me the part where the Lord helps
Those who help themselves
Yeah, she helped herself to my love
Now the love’s run dry
Now the love’s run dry
Yeah, the love’s run dry

On Sunday morning
The light shines through your bedroom shade
And I lie there awake, wondering
Why can’t we fly away like the birds do
And build a little nesting place?
But every time I raise this subject
Baby, you shy away
Your body’s just as close to me as always
But your mind is a million miles away
I hope that maybe
We’ll come to some agreement down the line
And put all fear, my dear, aside
I know its hard to see the days when we’re older
But you know there’ll come a time

When you’ve got to
Make up your mind
You’ve got to
Make up your mind

Why can’t we fly away like the birds do
And build a little nesting place?

Well you’ve got to
Make up your mind
You’ve got to
Make up your mind
You’ve got to
Make up your mind

Baby said good-bye
And so we split today
And I don’t feel alright
Trouble just got in the way
I see her leave from the apartment window
Out to a cab and into it she goes away
Maybe she’ll call tonight
Maybe she’ll call tonight

Everyone said, “Whoa,
We saw it coming.”
And my reply was, “No,
You don’t see nothing.”
I see her leave from the apartment window
Out to a cab and into it she goes away
Maybe she’ll call tonight
Maybe she’ll call tonight

Nothing lasts forever, I know is certain
Every play in town has a final curtain
And if you want to know what I’m going to do
I’ll be here waiting on you
I’ll be here waiting on you

Baby said good-bye
And so we split today
And I don’t feel alright
Trouble just got in the way
But you know that I believe
That one day she will return to me
Maybe she’ll call tonight
Maybe she’ll call tonight

I see you walking and I start to sway
And everything inside me wants to say
I like the way you make me feel
I like the way you make me feel

I ain’t no nervous hare who’s running late
I got to tell you ‘cause I just can’t wait
I like the way you make me feel
I like the way you make me feel
I like the way you make me feel
I like the way you make me feel

I’d explain it one more time
Like the other nine hundred ninety-nine
Give alms or lead a life of crime
If I thought it would make you mine
Make you mine all mine
Make you mine all mine

That little blind boy hit his mark
And turned the flesh that’s weak as hard as rock
I like the way you make me feel
I like the way you make me feel

I’ll explain it one more time
Like the other nine hundred ninety-nine
Give alms or lead a life of crime
If I thought it would make you mine
Make you mine all mine
Make you mine all mine

If we go down that river
The river of no return
We can dance all night in the pale moonlight
‘Cause the sun there don’t shine, it burns

If we be takin’ the high road
Tryin’ to avoid the low
We just hitch our guitar to a travellin’ star
And a roadside Romeo

Yeah, yeah, yeah – round we go
Yeah, yeah, yeah – where it stops, daddy, no one knows

When the Devil is taking the hindmost
We look up to a heavenly glow
I say the guy in the sky is a cover-up lie
Don’t say I never told you so

Taken to task is the real world
Tied up on a railroad track
I see a black handlebar in a getaway car
It’s a road I ain’t travellin’ back

Yeah, yeah, yeah – round we go
Yeah, yeah, yeah – where it stops, daddy, no one knows

When I was younger and all too naive
I thought trouble could always be worked out
But now I’m older with scars upon my knees
I’ve been down before but never for the count

But there always seems to come a time
For the parting of a friend
Though you promised me a million times
You’d be there ‘til the end
So take this time to think
Though you may disagree
But I just can’t see any other way out

Yeah, there always seems to come a time
For the parting of a friend
Though you promised me a million times
You’d be there ‘til the end
So take this time to think
Though you may disagree
But I just can’t see any other way out
No, I just can’t see any other way out

Well, it broke my heart
When they took apart everything that I knew
Nothin’ they could ever give me
Nothin’ that could easily be
Could make up for you

So, they fake being kind
They mistake me for blind, that’s a dumb thing to do
Nothin’ they could ever give me
Nothin’ that could easily be
Could make up for you

When I held you close all the stars up above could see
In every one of those is a world and a lifetime there for you and me

When I think back now
Figurin’ out how such a thing they could do
Nothin’ they could ever give me
Nothin’ that could easily be
Could make up for you

When I held you close all the stars up above could see
In every one of those is a world and a lifetime there for you and me

So, they fake being kind
They mistake me for blind, that’s a dumb thing to do
Nothin’ they could ever give me
Nothin’ that could easily be
Could make up for you
Nothin’ they could ever give me
Could make up for you
Nothin’ that could easily be could make up
Make up for you

Here we are
We’ve come to do a job
We’ve come to do a job that no one else will do
And so, by gar
We’ll have no attitude
No room or latitude, we’ll leave it up to you

Help me now,
Faster, faster, darlin’, kiss me once before I leave
Hold me now,
Court disaster, darlin’, kiss me one more time for me
Don’t leave me now, what’s it gonna be
For the sole survivor of what was only but a dream

Here we are
We thought we had it made
Our fathers’ debt was paid, then came along the war
And from afar
We drew new battle lines
And set our life aside like dust upon the floor

Here we are
Our nether job is done
Another setting sun, new morn and daytime, too
But we’ll return
Don’t know just when or how
But on this we make a vow, we’ll leave it up to you

Help me now,
Faster, faster, darlin’, kiss me once before I leave
Hold me now,
Court disaster, darlin’, kiss me one more time for me
Don’t leave me now, what’s it gonna be
For the sole survivor of what was only but a dream

Soon or later pieces come to fall
All that was now isn’t after all
A hard thing finding out
Is anyone in doubt
That everything about
Will come to fall

You and I had plans upon our sleeve
Then wiped our brow that gathered from the heat
A hard thing finding out
Is anyone in doubt
That everything about
Will come to fall

Baby, we had good times on a streak
And ‘round about the world, I was cigarette-weak
Ah, little by little
Ah, little by little
Ah, little by little – Oh!

Tell me, Doctor, do: the patient saved?
That Lazarus ain’t got nothin’ on this grave
A hard thing finding out
Is anyone in doubt
That everything about
Will come to fall

He fell in love with a tailor’s judy
She had the form and all he wanted was happy some day
And the chalk draws away

He fell in love like madly, truly
She hadn’t arm or leg but he knew that that’s okay
Just a pin drop away

Quiet girl, don’t you lie to me
Needles on the floor, I’m on my knees
Quiet girl, stop your teasing me
Bleeding on the floor, I’m begging please

Ahh Ooooooo Ahhh

So, in his eyes he hoped to newly
Wed the doll in all her class and ultimate charm
Tell me, who sees the harm?
And so he said to his tailor’s judy
We’ll have a torso tussle, lady, happy some day
Gimme a wink and we’re away

Quiet girl, don’t you lie to me
Needles on the floor, I’m on my knees
Quiet girl, stop your teasing me
Bleeding on the floor, I’m begging please

Quiet girl, don’t you lie to me
Needles on the floor, I’m on my knees
Quiet girl, stop your teasing me
Bleeding on the floor, I’m begging please

Ahh Ooooooo Ahhh

All along you said I’d rue the day
For every sad mistake I’d have to pay
Take everything that I am
Run just as fast as you can
I’ll be lonely and down
I’ll be down for the rest of the day

Now, you can turn me out if you had enough of me
But it wouldn’t be right to say good night and then leave
Take everything that I am
Run just as fast as you can
I’ll be lonely and down
I’ll be down for the rest of the day

Only if I’d known it would take all that money
Only if I’d known in time
‘Cause when we’re talking dough I’m kinda funny
Honey, I go deaf, dumb, and blind

Well, if it please ya, baby, can I come out to play
I’ll take the hurt and make it go away
Take everything that I am
Run just as fast as you can
We’ll be rolling around
No more lonely and down for the day
We’ll be rolling around
No more lonely and down for the day
We’ll be rollin’ around
No more lonely and down for the day

Last night I was dreaming
Dreaming of a life where all we do is laugh and love
And in this life I’m dreaming, baby
All of our toil we’ll rise above, oh yeah
‘Cause I know now who’s been fooling who

‘Cause I know what you’re thinking
I see it in your eyes
I know you ain’t diggin’ another paradise

One day when I’m needy
Greedy for a life where all I ever want is you
But wants are funny things now, baby
Don’t they cost more than they produce? oh yeah
Like as if you said those words to me

‘Cause I know what you’re thinking
I see it in your eyes
I know you ain’t diggin’ another pony ride
I know what you’re thinkin’
Like it was meant to be
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking
Socrateasing me

‘Cause I know what you’re thinking, I see it in your eyes
I know you ain’t diggin’ another paradise
I know what you’re thinkin’ like it was meant to be
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking
Socrateasing me

There’s no, there’s no foolin’ you
There’s no, there’s no foolin’ you
There’s no, there’s no foolin’ you

Love on a loading dock, mega-machine
Did she hear what I said? Does she know what I mean?
Swore she had worn her halo to bed
But it’s only a smoke ring that circles her head
And he comes and she goes
And they say so it goes
But I’ll never know why

Once in a daydream there was a need
‘Til they rode on a nightmare instead of a stead
Called to reflections down in a well
Threw a penny for hope and a dollar for help
And he comes and she goes
And they say so it goes
But I’ll never know why

Back in the land of green evertrees
What I thought was forever was only a tease
She wore a hangman’s knot for a jewel
And he was a lover who flunked out of love school

Love on a loading dock, mega-machine
Did she hear what I said? Does she know what I mean?
Swore she had worn her halo to bed
But it’s only a smoke ring that circles her head
And he comes and she goes
And they say so it goes
But I’ll never know why

Some say it’s murder
To suffer for your art
Folks think you’re crazy
To put the strain on your heart

Ain’t never no money
It ain’t a practical life
They want you married
With a job from nine to five

But that would be murder
Murder to me
Between a rock and a hard place
Ain’t no place to be

What burns at both ends
Burns twice as bright
And we need those candles
To illuminate the night

But some say that’s murder
To suffer for your art
But we won’t know murder
‘Til they’ve killed the Arts
No, we won’t know murder
’Til they’ve killed the Arts

I heard it from a reliable friend
That something good is going to happen again
Relief from darkened days’ll finally arrive
And everyone’ll feel glad they’re alive

I don’t think everything will shine
But there’s gonna be some peace of mind

Out on a lonely sea of nights without end
A rescue party on the shore to attend
But all that negativity is behind us
For we have moved on and they’ll never find us

I don’t think everything will shine
But there’s gonna be some peace of mind

The sky is clear not a cloud to be found
The sun is up and the flowers are out
I heard it from a reliable friend
That something good is going to happen again

Something in her drives me mad
I don’t know what power she has
But all my rain clouds they just pass away
Something in her makes me feel that way

Ahhhh, I’m in Sunshineland

Something ‘bout her makes me smile
Makes my whole damn day worthwhile
All my rain clouds they just pass away
Something in her makes me feel that way
Ahhhh, I’m in Sunshineland

When she’s with me I feel proud
That I can shout the words out loud
That all my rain clouds they just pass away
Something in her makes me feel that way

Ahhhh, I’m in Sunshineland

I’m in Sunshine, Sunshineland
I’m in Sunshine, Sunshineland
I’m in Sunshine, Sunshineland

You feel like days of old, we got us a mantra
Hip, hip hooray for our side
But I think of all the ways I know it’ll haunt you
If we tag along on this ride
You know the way a thug surprise you

Another unfortunate bygone
Something we’ll later all pine
I shake my head and I walk on
Can’t leave the future behind

I was a happy lad with life in the backyard
It’s all I needed to know
I liked it, cool enough, with life on the retard
Until a stranger said no
You know the way a thug surprise you

Another unfortunate bygone
Something we’ll later all pine
I shake my head and I walk on
Can’t leave the future behind

You know the way a drunk surprise you

Another unfortunate bygone
Something we’ll later all pine
I shake my head and I walk on
Can’t leave the future behind
Ahhhhh ahhhhh
Ahhhhh ahhhhh

What did we do wrong this time?
Someone’s holding the Bible
Saying we been playing with fire
And we’re asking for trouble
I always thought that if it felt good
How could they say it was wrong?
But we’ve been told we’re on a downward road to nowhere
And we have lost our way home

What did we do wrong this time?
Here we are we’re on trial
When someone’s hurt you gotta to do right
There ain’t no denial
We went and ate up everything that was real good
All we got left are the bones
They say you really don’t know what you been missing
‘Til what you’re missing is gone

What did we do wrong this time?
Someone’s got us on trial
Saying we been playing with fire
There ain’t no denial
I always thought that if it felt good
How could they say it was wrong?
They say you really don’t know what you been missing
‘Til what you’re missing is gone

Sonny, tell me true, what will become you?
Sonny, tell me true, what will you do?
Life’s but a game of roulette
Give’r a spin and you’re on your way
There you go, it just is what it is what it is

Honey, tell me true, where are you going to?
Honey, tell me true – you know I love you
Lookin’ in your eyes on that day
Said everything your arrival could say
There you go, it just is what it is what it is
Tell me

Babies, tell me true, what are you going through?
Babies, tell me true, help me to see
I gave it as good as I know
But then you don’t know what you don’t know
There you go, it just is what it is what it is
Tell me

Ahhh ahhh ahhh Oo oo
Ahhh ahhh ahhh Oo oo

You could call me back
But everybody’s leaving
You ought to know by now
That I ain’t just some other clown
That you can jerk about
And call up when you’re feeling
You left it far too long
And yet the memories still are clear
Of how I loved you so
And even then believed it
God in heaven knows
Why and what you did to me
And what I did to you
Were we that mistaken?
You hurt me more than most
But I ain’t going to cry about it now
I’ll let you in on a secret
I didn’t want to be telling you
I’ll let you in on a secret
The only thing I know that’s true
You see I never
Got over
You

I’ll let you in on a secret
I didn’t want to be telling you
I’ll let you in on a secret
The only thing I know that’s true
You see I never
Got over
You
