Remember when you said we'd marry
|
On the wilder shores of love
|
The tide, it changes fast
|
Oh when you're fast it never lasts
|
|
I cannot read between your lines
|
You cannot make me read your tiny mind
|
Oh who's got the time
|
Oh you'd go blind
|
|
Jesus & Mary are taking me down
|
To the other side of town
|
Where they don't count the days
|
With steel blades on the walls of time
|
They just dance naked in the sun all the time
|
|
She's the jewel in your crown
|
But I'm the gold that's gonna wear you down
|
I'll keep you around this dirty old town
|
|
Every time I put the stove on
|
Dinner's cold by the time you come over
|
Oh you turn over on that cold shoulder
|
|
Jesus & Mary are taking me down
|
To the other side of town
|
Where they don't count the days
|
With steel blades on the walls of time
|
They just dance naked in the sun all the time
|
|
When you call and you call my name
|
Baby, hazy, lazy
|
Oh I'll sign on the dotted line
|
When I lie back, I lie on my back
|
Baby, hazy, lazy
|
Oh I am not an animal
|
|
Don't bring me down
|
Don't bring me down
|
Don't bring me down
|
Don't bring me down
|
Don't bring me down
|
Don't bring me down
|
