I wish my heart would burn I wish it up in flames I'm giving up the fight, my Lord Man come to take me away
I'm letting go my bike I laid it down the front lawn I'm driving now, this ride from hell You can hear me going but I'm already gone
My pocket knife, my lucky charm One pebble black and smooth and worn My checkerboard shoes, my basketball Was just a child, that's all
I wish my heart would burn I wish it up in flames I'm giving up the fight, my Lord When it calls, he whispers my name
I'm letting go my room, Mom You can give it to my brother All my stickers and my records I got sickness in my blood And it's rocking me so hard I won't need to bring along my stereo
We got girls, we got women We got rye, we got wine We got music on a movie Make you shake your behind We got red, we got yellow We got tiny little white Gonna lift me up and let me go I'm flying, yes I oh
I wish my heart would burn I wish it up in flames I'm giving up the fight, my Lord I'm the man in the suit I'm the man I'm the man in the suit I'm the man in the suit I'm the man I'm the man in the suit, yes I am
I'm sharpening my teeth Someday, I think we'll meet again Dark alley somewhere Nobody will hear Just you and me, my dear I'm taking you out
It used to be the case I'd happily erase The feeling I was robbed The feeling I was raped I'm taking you out (x3)
It's true, you're looking good A man inside a pair of shoes Silver leather jacket too What about the way you dance The way you move I'm taking you out (x7)
It's true, you're looking good A man inside a pair of shoes Silver leather jacket too What about the way you groove You're so groovy
I'm teetering in heels Stiletto babe and pinking shears A razor's sharp will pierce your ears Nudie suit, you look so cute I'm taking you out
It's true, you're looking smooth A man inside a pair of shoes Silver leather jacket too Mmm, you own this town Don't you I'm taking you out (x7) I mean it
You put your dollar down You want to paint the town But then you never, never, never know How red the lights can be When you're alone with me You live so fast, why don't you take it slow
And when you find your card up on the tabletops And dear, you never, never, never know How lovely life can be When you're alone with me You live so fast, why don't you take it slow
Tell me again I'm everything I know I am Poor darling dear You never know the party's here
Tell me again I'm wonderful, I know I am Poor darling dear You never know the party's here
Oh mister, where you are Is smoke on his cigar And then you never, never, never know How lovely life can be When you're alone with me You live so fast, why don't you take it slow, slow, slow down
Tell me again, again I'm everyone I know I am Poor darling dear You never know the party's here
Tell me again I'm wonderful, I know I am Poor darling dear, dear You never know the party's here You never know the party's here, right here, man You never know the party's here, I'm here, man You never know the party's here
My clock said one When he entered through the back door Easily quietly How could i have known Heavily i slept while Stealthily he crept from room to room
He left my platinum diamond ring And never checked to see my color tv Surely i'd regret my life meant nothing to him Anything i kept barely managed to amuse him
Oh endlessly i miss you Endlessly i forget you Endlessly i forget
The minutes marched in tall black boots Time went on and came back again What grew in place of his heart jumped out of his chest I would've called out I think that i didn't
Endlessly i miss you Endlessly i forget
His hand was full and human Over my mouth Rush of lightning pulled me to consciousness Dear one i was a friend to life How could you let me lose it

Turn a dime, into a dollar Steal a kiss, shake a hand Make a friend, hustling around Running through the paper Keep an eye out For the big money maker Life is so short equipment in cars Big wad of cash Deep in your trousers Baby won’t forget The moment that you had The moment that you had The moment that you had

He thinks he's in love with this girl But I know that he can't be in love with her He's in love with me

Pauline More than a memory girl Got to tell you what Smells like a magazine Tastes like a watermelon Looks like, looks like, looks like We've got a problem

Pauline More than a memory girl Got to tell you what The lad looked down While the record player turned I was sweet and pretty Like a Chinese glamour girl

With a lousy, little grand he'd pay off everyone he owed Drive the fleet-side; take the stake-bed; cafe handlebars My brushed chrome Wrap his ring around my finger with a tire iron There's too much money in the world for my Nickel Plated Man I love him
Now stop going 'round with those sleazy little pigeons Hanging from a slack wire, but sweet my little dove Looking for a good time, a bite to eat, And strutting 'round on those pigeon feet There's too much money in the world for my Nickel Plated Man I love him
I hear them coming for the bottles in the late night/early morn I never even read the paper 'cause they took it from my door And I hardly took the trash out, now they're coming back for more Oh, there's too much money in the world There's too much money in the world There's too much money in the world for my Nickel Plated Man I love him, I love him, I love him.
Hack Jimmy, he would know Just read his long expression Here in the neighborhood He watches his reflection Somehow I never knew Just what to make of him But if he asked me to I'd let him take me for a spin
Hack Jimmy, he would know Just how you pose the question Tough in his leather boots He watches his reflection Somehow I understood Just was his foolish pride But if he asked me to I'd let him take me for a ride
Hack Jimmy, he would know Just kiss me pure confection Still says that he's no good He watches his reflection Somehow I never knew Just drifted out of sight But if he asked me to I'd let him take me home tonight
Close your eyes What she wore What she wondered about a boy Who would it be? He'll never know and always wonder why Sarah never said goodbye
Would she ride? If you see her passing Don't forget to ask her Would she remember, Believe he's waiting for her To arrive? Sarah never said goodbye
When hearts are young and tender When the night is cold and he can't defend her He swears to God that he'll never surrender Hope to see her again
Close your eyes To dream of Sarah What she wondered about the stars in the sky What she wanted He'll never know and always wonder why Sarah never said goodbye
