In the morning madness and the stabbing light
She pours the coffee and she says "What was wrong with you last night?" "Dreams, just dreams my love, we're half asleep" But the headline's on tennis So it seems, everything's all right There's a girl from the Midwest, with a pretty face Scratched where it itched, they said it was a disgrace "I don't wanna go to work today Wanna stay at home and watch that girl play" Do you like tennis? Yes I do There are people in boats in the middle of the sea Crying and dying like Jews Do you like tennis? Freedom is the man with the red grenade She ran out of gas, got beat and raped Do you like tennis? Well do you like tennis? Yes I do |

I lie awake, late at night
I just don't seem to sleep at all Got so high, don't I know why Said man I got that Moon-dog call Stepping out into the street Gonna dance till my legs fall off Mister policeman say "what's wrong with you Why you behaving this way?" I said I'm hung on her sweet kiss My mama told me that the day would come So I don't need no alibi The judge looked down with a pointed frown And said "boy you got to explain why" Out on the street, late at night Dancing like a crazy fool Laughing and singing, what's wrong with you? Why you behaving this way? I said I'm hung on her sweet kiss And all the boys they're gonna laugh And all the girls gonna talk in class But I don't care, there's just no way I'm gonna let this feeling fade away I said I'm hung on her sweet kiss |

The gas-lamp flickers in the night
And jingle-jangles in the wind The pool-hall cowboys play and play 'Cos pool-hall hot shots don't go home And a lonely breeze sends shivers From a distant shore Since I don't see you anymore The morning curtains gently sway A gap throws light across the room You curse that noisy radio Even when you turn it down It tells us bad news of a distant war And I don't see you anymore Since I didn't see you Since I didn't see you Since I don't see you anymore No me da un bledo si senor Since I don't see you anymore I've always got time for one more Since I don't see you anymore And a lonely breeze sends shivers From a distant shore And the tears fall faster now love Much more than before Since I don't see you anymore Sing a song of love to me Sing a song of love to me As the shadows start to grow And I won't be sad and lonely Anymore 'Cos if you sing a song of love to me I will always find a smile That will warm my cold, cold heart Just for a while Songs of love I know so well Yea, I've seen some days and had some times Lucky boy I can hear you say You think my sun does nothing but shine |

It's all become a fantasy
She sits and reads about Tiffany's I moan all day about the state of the world And the sun beats down Her book if full of pastel shades Filigree Femmes in lusts of jade While all around the bullets flew And the sun beats down Oh heavy heart, as deep as the endless sea A thought for every fish, why don't you let them be Your book's so frivol, but I'm tired of mine Show me some Make me laugh and make me sing Dancing girls Make me laugh and make me sing Dancing girls So many years but nothing's changed We curse the fire but we still feed it's flames My cards repeating the same sad song Why don't you put them down? Tonight is young, as young as she needs to be There's room for love, as much as there needs to be Show me a drink, show me a smile Show me some Make me laugh and make me sing Dancing girls Make me laugh and make me sing Dancing girls |

Sat out a card game in a motel room
Don't let the muzak drive you crazy late at night They tell me it's all part of the deal I'm in Well I close my eyes, put memory into sight Every time I see you smile Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking An hour or so: I hope she's right on time And you dream away your touchdown destination Now single file and put yourself back in line But oh, every time I see you smile Now this old world don't give much for choosing You can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild But I can take it's punches laughing - don't mind losing Just as long as I get to see you smile every once in a while |

Don't ask me how long baby it's gonna take
I don't know honey, just give it a break Love don't happen to you overnight You got to feed it, leave it Give it some light Oh love, true love When it looks like you're winning Get it right on tee And the stars shine so brightly Just for you and me For ever and ever babe Is that what it takes? For ever and ever babe Is that when it stays for you and me? With every ray of sunshine sugar There's little bit of rain You got to take the bad times with the good times 'Cos no love's the same Oh love, true love When it looks like you're winning Get it right on tee And the stars shine so brightly Just for you and me For ever and ever babe Is that what it takes? For ever and ever babe That's when it stays When you've found your star love will know just who you are For ever and ever she'll stay For ever and ever babe Is that what it takes? For ever and ever babe Is that when it stays? |

He's watching the girls on the dance floor
He's watching the light in her hair He's praying that love's gonna come soon There's a sweet smell of hope in the air Just another boy from a steel town With the flash of the mill in his eye He don't move for hip cool or fashion But he knows where the deepest one lies And he'd love to be warm And he'd love to love you So give him some good news All the cards on the table But don't look that man in the eye Say a prayer for the dealer And kiss your old life goodbye Go to church light a candle But don't lose your head for God's sake Why is my heart beating faster Oh why do my hands start to shake 'Cos he'd love to be warm And he'd love to love you So give him some good news |

Sweet serenade, in your shade
May I rest Just for a while, won't stay long I'll do my best To help you help me to find some friends That I have lost Who lie in lands where memories And dreams are lost The breeze that blew around her hair that day The timeless dress that flowed in endless sway I almost touched her shoulder, she almost turned to face me A thousand distant summers... away |

I was down, nowhere bound
Needed love, any love Something new, breezy and bashful but true Changing my whole point of view Suddenly someone, a midnight romancer A Romeo dancer in blue But only with you Only with you No more rain, no more chains No more cold lonely sleepless nights Laughing eyes, wider than midsummer skies Crazy but don't ask me why Suddenly someone, a midnight romancer A Romeo dancer in blue But only with you Only with you Once a Lone Star rider who danced in super cool Now a Romeo, it's true But only with you Only with you |

The steel mill closes down tonight
As the dying embers fade And all the guys are too tired for tears Checking their final pay Those razored sabres of steel they made They never got to hold So many sold, millions Silence in the bar tonight And some aren't even here And red eyes gaze uncertainly Deep down into their beer And the Holy Ghost surrounds you with faith And peace of mind And love is all around you everywhere Stick it Stick it out We're sure if you try You'll get by Find a way Stick it Stick it out We're sure if you try You'll get by Find a way They tell you it's all over They don't need you anymore You hear him shout "bring the next one in" As you're walking out the door Decisions for so many dictated by so few A free man for the first time What are you gonna do now Stick it Stick it out We're sure if you try You'll get by Find a way |
