Pete Way

Well, I've stuck out in your street
And I'm looking for some kind of halo
When somebody says to me, boy
She's too young to know

*Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don't you think you show
I guess I'll have to teach you how to roll

Met you outside school
When sure no one was looking
And your teacher looks at me
All his envy growing

*Repeat

I said, take it easy baby
You sure know what's showing
And I can't help myself
Without your friends all knowing

*Repeat x2

You got a long, long way to go

Standing by the roadside
Future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground

*Crystal light shining bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passing by
Trying not to see
Like a fool I hit that road
Did my time at sea
Life was only fooling me

Oh despair, it bums my lungs
Find it hard to breathe
The hospital shut their gates
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream
Stumble the road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream
Haven't found a dream

*Repeat x2

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh,
the mess I'm in
She walked up to me
and really stole my heart
And then she started to
take my body apart

*Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Oh I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment
She's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy

**Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as
I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength,
and I can't take any more


*repeat
**repeat

Going through pages and looking down lines and lines
Space of your life is only passing you by

Space child ages as he turns and faces the lie
Then after laughter was caught in his throat as he died

Fly on homeward

Worlds spinning by brings clouds in your eye tonight
The space of your life is only passing you by

Seventeen a nature's queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, a long one,
and you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet
--Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
* Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow work is closin' in above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down free to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the, hands on your clock
Heaven don't open when you knock
* Repeat

With all darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul
one sweet kiss on your clay cold lips
Ill know sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here

* Repeat
* Repeat

Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town
Wonderin' the hang where
To turn each time around
Look in your mirror just to see my face
Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real
Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel
When ya dance,
I move and they look me in the eye
Two way time, baby, it's no lie
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed

-long, long year I've sat in this place
Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go
Find a reason love's left me cold

I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with the sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand

Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had
My lost feelin' made me so sad
Tried so hard, the smile on my face
Can't get it back a gain, back home with you

* repeat
* repeat

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold
But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know
That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

But I got everything all the good girls need
I ... I love you baby
I ... I love you baby
But I got everything all of the good girls need

And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold
Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul
I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up in my eyes
Symbols of the morning comin' on
With the love that's got too strong to hold
If I'd been so much wiser then
I would have known which path to choose
Heaven help the lucky one
Heaven help you

Heard the news come on the radio
About the loves and the flame
I'd already heard before

Baby, two years ago

Say it's too hard to return
Now it seemed just like a dream
I saw and already seen it
On my tv screen

Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on
Don't you think you could show some thanks
I just might give you a standin' ovation
When I'm here and gone

You knock me out you're like a well oiled Smith & Wesson
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15, there's no question
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe

Don't need I.D. and there's no house detective to crowd you...
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Slip in the back door and slip out of what ever your into
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe (2x)

---(instrumental)---

I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe (2x)
