Time it tells, living in my hometown
Wedding bells, they begin easy Live it down, baby don't talk that much Baby knows, but baby don't tease me In the park, we could go walking Drown in the dark, or we could go sailing On the sea Always here, always on time Close call was it love, or was it just easy Money talks, when people need shoes and socks Steady boys, I'm thinkin' she needs me I was just, sippin' on somethin' sweet I don't need, political process I got this feelin' that they're gonna break down the door I got this feelin' that they're gonna come back for more See I was thinking that I lost my mind But it's been gettin' to me all this time And it don't, stop, draggin' me down Silently reflection turns my world to stone Patiently correction leaves us all alone And sometimes I'm a travel man But tonight this engine's failing And I still hear the children playing Kick the can, kick the can skip and play jacks Steal a car, and ring around Rosie Rock and roll, Candy Land boogieman Run away, and give me your sneakers Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain We began, the weeping and wailing A hurried high, from pestilence pills and pride It's a shame, we could have gone sailing But heaven knows, heaven knows everything Tranquilize I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more See I was thinking that I lost my mind But it's been gettin' to me all this time And it don't stop draggin' me down Silently reflection turns my world to stone Patiently correction leaves us all alone And sometimes I'm a travel man But tonight this engine's failing And I still hear the children playing Dead beat dancers come to us and stay Lou Reed: 'Cause I don't care where you been And I don't care what you seen We're the ones who still believe And we're lookin' for a page In that lifeless book of hope Where a dream might help you cope Where the Bushes and the bombs Uh huh, tranquilize |

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you Well I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you In a room without a window in the corner I found truth In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left I did everything, everything I wanted to I let them use you for their own ends To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you |

Shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go
Got a new place and how it's so much better Falling over myself, the television's on I turn it off and smile Oh Jennifer, you know I'll always try Before you say goodbye Leave the bourbon on the shelf And I'll drink it by myself And I'll love you endlessly Darling, don't you see I'm not satisfied Until I hold you tight Give me one more chance tonight And I swear I'll make it right But you ain't got time for this And that wreckin' bell is ringin' And I'm not satisfied Until I hold you Jennifer, tell me where I stand And who's that boy holdin' your hand? Oh Jennifer, you know I'll always try Before you say goodbye Leave the bourbon on the shelf And I'll drink it by myself And I never liked your hair Or those people that you lie with But I'm not satisfied Until I hold you tight And I'll love you endlessly Darling, don't you see I can't be satisfied Until I hold you tight Leave the bourbon on the shelf And I'll drink it by myself And I'll love you endlessly Darling, don't you see I'm not satisfied |

Lift me up on my honour
Take me over this spell Get this weight off my shoulder I've carried it well Lose these shackles of pressure Shake me out of these chains Lead me not to temptation Hold my hand harder Ease my mind Roll down the smokescreen And open the sky Let me fly Man, I need a release from This troublesome mind Fix my feet when they're stumbling And well, you know, it hurts sometimes You know it's gonna bleed sometimes Dig me out from this thorn tree Help me bury my shame Keep my eyes from the fire They can't handle the flame Grace cut out from my brothers When most of them fell I carried it well Let me fly Man, I need a release from This troublesome mind Fix my feet when they're stumbling I guess you know it hurts sometimes You know it's gonna bleed sometimes Now hold on I'm not looking for sweet talk I'm looking for time Time for tower and sleep walk Brother, 'cause it hurts sometimes You know it's gonna bleed sometimes Hold on You know it's gonna hurt sometimes When you call me, hold on Hold on Hold on I'm gonna climb that symphony home and make it mine Let his resonance light my way See, all these pessimistic sufferers tend to drag me down So I could use it to shelter what good I've found |

She's got her halo and wings
Hidden under his eyes But she's an angel for sure She just can't stop telling lies But it's too late for his love Already caught in a trap His angel's kiss was a joke And she is not coming back Because heaven sends and heaven takes Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied up to a dream And only she can set him free And then he says to me Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Yeah she's got a criminal mind He's got a reason to pray His life is under the gun He's got to hold every day Now he just wants to wake up Yeah, just to prove it's a dream Cause she's an angel for sure But that remains to be seen Because heaven sends and heaven takes Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied up to a dream And only she can set him free And then he says to me Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Stupid on the streets of London James Dean in the rain Without her it's not the same The same, the same, but it's alright Because heaven sends and heaven takes Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied up to a dream And only she can set him free And then he says to me Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Again and again |

Take me to the place where the white boys dance
Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance They hug in silence As the sun sets On their empty street Her suspicions, well they're rising high And the man who sweeps him off she doesn't meet She walks inside and Pours a strong one To put her mind at ease It's the calm before another storm And her brain shifts from the whiskey to the keys Take me to the place where the white boys dance Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance Her heart is racing She phones a friend and says "I'm in an awful place That fool's been messing 'round on me I've seen it in his eyes and on his face" Hold on a minute You're talking crazy Don't be that jealous, girl Just tell Levon you need an hour or two 'Cause we're gonna go and change somebody's world Take me to the place where the white boys dance Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance (It's the calm before another storm) It's the calm before another storm And her brain shifts from the whiskey to the keys Take me to the place where the white boys dance Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance |

Last time I said I was in control
I had 25 depths and we both know When you come back now, you'll see my face I said 25 depths and we both pray While I move away Hard times don't come until tomorrow These eyes don't see Take your skin off when you listen to me Move away Hard times don't come until tomorrow These eyes and me Take your skin off when you're talkin' to me Me Oh, what a world that we both come in I said hold it to the rock and let it in Oh, what a whirlwind that we are in I said hold it to the rock and we're both in While I move away Hard times don't come until tomorrow These eyes don't see Tear your skin off when you listen to me Move away Hard times don't come until tomorrow These eyes don't see Take your skin off when you listen to me Don't worry 'bout what might have been Just tell your woman that you're sorry And you jumped out of your skin Listen closely to your mother Don't worry 'bout what might have been Tell the jury that you're sorry And just jump out of your skin I wanna jump out of my skin I wanna jump out of my skin And watch the clouds Move away I'm never gonna live it down Move away Move away Move, move, move away Move away Move away Hard times don't come until tomorrow These eyes don't see Take your skin off when you listen to me Move away Hard times don't come until tomorrow Move away Move away Move away Move away |

Who let you go? Who let you go?
Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? I feel it inside, down in my soul And I just can't hide these things I know We could be friends And I promise that it won't go bad But hopefully this story ends But you ain't got nothing I never had So let's take it slow Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Someone must have loved you Not the way that I do You're missing what I'm trying to say Ain't nothing getting in my way So tell me that's fantastic And promise me, you'll always sigh I find it so romantic When you look into my beautiful eyes And lose control Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? I don't know what it means But I've been wondering Who let you go?

Michael plays with stars
Soul Sister, won't you take a ride in his car? Late to call When you wanted to be all Baby, baby, don't be so shy Rock children hold your head up high In the night while I try And tell the ballad of Valentine You got it bad, but you know it's true I caught up with a friend in Dallas We took a trip to New Orleans Those black-eyed ladies Won't say they're sorry We finally caught a train to Memphis Where everybody talks the same Those blue suede babies All know my name And I said hold tight Can't you see that it's hurting me? But I've got the buzz Like Marlon Brando Michael Valentine, can't we unite? We ended up in North Dakota Although my heart's in Mexico My munequita Abre tus ojos With your new suit, and your black tie Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like I broke to the right and I caught your eye Shut your mouth and wave goodbye tonight I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade And I said hold tight Can't you see that it's hurting me? But I've got the buzz Like Marlon Brando Straight-faced with misery tonight And I will not lie When I say I ain't cold no more But I've got the buzz Like Greta Garbo Walking forward to the sun And I've got a cold tale left to write Well, uh-oh I know he's gonna be there tonight |

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere? The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town It wasn't me that started this whole crazy Asian war But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore Yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be Oh Ruby I still need some company It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realize But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door The way I know, I've heard it slam one hundred times before And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town Oh Ruby For God sakes turn around |

I'll tell you what you wanna know
But boy, you better listen close People gonna tell you lies Don't let it come as a surprise That woman's on my back again I know she's got the best intentions But you begin to realize You know you got your daddy's eyes And there's something I wanna say I love her too And all of this has got nothing to do with you And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been foolin' around and I know That you called because you never even knew that it was hurtin' me When you put it on the other hand When you're old enough to understand That glove will bring it all to life I didn't say that made it right Cause that woman's on my back again I know she's got the best intentions When you begin to realize You know you got your daddy's eyes And there's something I wanted to say I love her too And all of this has got nothing to do with you And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been foolin' around and I know That you called because you never even knew that it was hurtin' me And I'd like to stay but I can't because I've been foolin' around and I know That you called because you never even knew that it was hurtin' me But sometimes people get tired And I woke up a little too late to lie Well, dreams should last a long time This is not what I'd call goodbye I'd love to stay but I can't because I've been foolin' around and I know That you called because you never even knew that it was hurtin' me And I would love to stay but I can't because I've been foolin' around and I know That you called because you never even knew that it was hurtin' me Me I love her too |

Nobody ever had a dream 'round here
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me I've got this energy beneath my feet Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me I've got this sentimental heart that beats But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now "Why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of what they'll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Oh, have you ever seen the lights? Have you ever seen the lights? I took a shuttle on a shock-wave ride Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade I took a bullet and I looked inside And running through my veins an American masquerade I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake Got never really known anybody to die before Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake My brother, he was born on the Fourth of July, and that's all "So why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of letting me shine But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Every now and then You know, I see London, I see Sam's Town Holds my hand and lets my hair down Rolls that world right off my shoulder I see London, I see Sam's Town now |

On the corner of Main Street
Just tryin' to keep it in line You say you wanna move on and You say I'm falling behind Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? I never really gave up on Breakin' out of this two-star town I got the green light, I got a little fight I'm gonna turn this thing around Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The good old days, the honest man The restless heart, the Promised Land A subtle kiss that no one sees A broken wrist and a big trapeze Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go Can you read my mind? It's funny how you just break down Waitin' on some sign I pull up to the front of your driveway With magic soakin' my spine Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The teenage queen, the loaded gun The drop-dead dream, the Chosen One A Southern drawl, a world unseen A city wall and a trampoline Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go Tell me what you find Can you read my mind? Slippin' in my faith until I fall He never returned that call Woman, open the door, don't let it sting I wanna breathe that fire again She said, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Put your back on me Oh, put your back on me Oh, put your back on me The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun Can you read my mind? |
