|
|
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
|
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
|
If I said that you're my friend
|
And our love would never end
|
How long before I had your trust again
|
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
|
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
|
But how can I protect you
|
Or try not to neglect you
|
When you won't take the love I have to give
|
I bought me an illusion
|
An I put it on the wall
|
I let it fill my head with dreams
|
And I had to have them all
|
But oh the taste is never so sweet
|
As what you'd believe it is-
|
Well I guess it never is
|
It's these prejudiced illusions
|
That pump the blood
|
To the heart of the biz
|
|
|
You know I never thought
|
That it could take so long
|
You know I never knew how to be strong
|
Yeah, I let you shape me
|
But I feel as though you raped me
|
'Cause you climbed inside my world
|
And in my songs
|
So now I've closed the door
|
To keep the cold outside
|
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
|
But how can I forget you
|
Or try not to reject you
|
When we both know it takes time to forgive
|
|
|
Sweetness is a virtue
|
And you lost your virtue long ago
|
You know I'd like to hurt you
|
But my conscience always tells me no
|
You could sell your body on the street
|
To anyone whom you might meet
|
Who'd love to try and get inside
|
And bust your innocence open wide
|
|
|
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
|
My baby's gone off the track
|
My baby's got a locomotive
|
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
|
I know it looks like I'm insane
|
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
|
No
|
|
|
Gonna have some fun with my frustration
|
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
|
I'd rather take a detour
|
'Cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
|
Your train of thought has cut me off again
|
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
|
Better tame that boy for he's a man
|
Sweetheart don't make me laugh
|
You's gettin' too big for your pants
|
And I's think maybe you should
|
Cut out while you can
|
You can use you illusion-
|
Let it take you where it may
|
We live and learn
|
And then sometimes it's best to walk away
|
Me I'm just here hangin' on
|
It's my only place to stay at least
|
For now anyway
|
I've worked too hard for my illusions
|
Just to throw them all away
|
|
|
I'm taking time for quiet consolation
|
In passing by this love that's passed away
|
I know it's never easy-
|
So why should you believe me
|
When I've always got so many things to say
|
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
|
'Cause playful hearts
|
Can sometimes be enraged
|
You know I tried to wake you-
|
I mean how long could it take you
|
To open up your eyes and turn the page
|
|
|
Kindness is a treasure-
|
And it's one towards me you've seldom shown
|
So I'll say it for good measure
|
To all the ones like you I've known
|
Ya know I'd like to shave your head
|
And all my friends could paint it red
|
'Cause love to me's a two way street
|
An all I really want is peace
|
|
|
But my baby's got a locomotive
|
My baby's gone off the track
|
My baby's got a locomotive
|
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
|
I know it looks like I'm insane
|
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
|
No
|
|
Affection is a blessing
|
Can you find it in your sordid heart
|
I tried to keep this thing ta-gether
|
But the tremor tore my pad apart
|
Yeah I know it's hard to face
|
When all we've worked for's gone to waste
|
But you're such a stupid woman
|
And I'm such a stupid man
|
But love like time's got its own plans
|
|
|
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive
|
My baby's gone off the track
|
My baby's got a locomotive
|
Got ta peel the bitch off my back
|
I know it looks like I'm insane
|
Take a closer look I'm not to blame
|
Yeah
|
If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane
|
|
|
Love's so strange
|
