Who's that stomping all over my face
Where's that silhouette I'm trying to trace Who's putting sponge in the bells I once rung And taking my gypsy before she's begun To singing in the meaning of what's in my mind Before I can take home what's rightfully mine Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhymes Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times Who's saying baby, that don't mean a thing 'Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing And who's all hung-up on that happiness thing Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings And who's in the corner and down on the floor With pencil and paper just counting the score Who's trying to act like he's just in between The line isn't black, if you know that it's green Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see Who's coming on like he wanted to be And who's coming home on the old nine-to-five Who's got the feeling that he came alive Though havin' it, sharin' it ain't quite the same It ain't no gold nugget, you can't lay a claim Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor There it is baby, don't you worry no more Who should be sleepin', but is writing this song Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong |

I don't tell no tales about no hot dusty roads
I'm a city boy and I stay at home I make no excuses I just don't want to roam And I don't like being alone I give you loving and a place to take off your shoes It does surprising things for a case of the blues It ain’t no club, you don’t have to pay no dues You just love me and I love you And if you take some pride In being alive If you're interested in looking inside Of yourself Just drop on by Baby ask me why At least you don't have to be by yourself Just come knock, most likely I'll be there Then you look around Find a comfortable chair And then you sit, and you might think about Why he's there, I can't tell you why, only where |

Is my world not falling down
I'm in pieces on the ground And my eyes aren't open And I'm standing on my knees But if crying and holding on And flying on the ground is wrong Then I'm sorry to let you down, But you're from my side of town And I miss you. Turn me up or turn me down Turn me off or turn me round I wish I could have met you in a place Where we both belong But if crying and holding on And flying on the ground is wrong Then I'm sorry to let you down, But you're from my side of town And I miss you. Sometimes I feel like I'm just a helpless child Sometimes I feel like a kid. But baby, since I have changed I can't take nothing home. City lights at a country fair Never shine but always glare If I'm bright enough to see you, You're just to dark to care. But if crying and holding on And flying on the ground is wrong Then I'm sorry to let you down, But you're from my side of town And I miss you. |

Been burned and with both feet on the ground,
I've learned that it's painful comin' down. No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay. Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin', No time left and I know I'm losin'. Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down, Crashed, and my ears can't hear a sound. No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay. Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin', No time left and I know I'm losin'. Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin', No time left and I know I'm losin'. Burned and with both feet on the ground. I've learned that it's painful comin' down. No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay. Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin', No time left and I know I'm losin'. |

Do I have to come right out and say it?
Tell you that you look so fine Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? If it was a game I could play it Tryin' to make it but I'm losin' time I got to bring you in, you're overworkin' my mind Indecision is crowding me I have no room to spare And I can't believe she'd care Like a dream she has taken me And now I don't know where And a part of me is scared The part of me I shared Once before Do I have to come right out and say it? Tell you that you look so fine (Look so fine) Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? Indecision is crowding me I have no room to spare And I can't believe she'd care Like a dream she has taken me And now I don't know where And a part of me is scared The part of me I shared Once before Do I have to come right out and say it, girl? Tell you that you look so fine (Look so fine) Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? If it was a game I could play it Tryin' to make it but I'm losin' time (Losin' time) I got to bring you in, you're overworkin' my mind Do I have to come right out and say it, girl? Tell you that you look so fine (Look so fine) |

Out of my mind
And I just can't take it anymore Left behind By myself and what I'm living for All I hear are screams from outside the limousines That are taking me Out of my mind Through the keyhole in an open door Happy to find That I don't know what I'm smiling for Tired of hanging on If you've missed me, I've just gone Cause they're taking me Out of my mind |

Well I heard the story once before
And I know what the tears are for That's a lie and I just can buy You came for me so don't try And I see another man in your eyes Yes, and you're old enough to know you can't live lies Yes, and so I'm telling you just exactly what to do 'Cause you can't have two tastes of advice Pay the price And if on another time or place Another day, another face I'm telling you babe it's all you know That one of us should have to go Listen I know you hate to see me cry But I have to go and I tell you why Without your love I can't go on It's easy and it’s wrong |
