I'm not a loner No sack-cloth and ashes Just a heart on a tether with a vagabond mind But this will be a broken man Come shivering out of his wintertime
I'm a broken man, a broken man Outcast on the outskirts of the promised land A broken man A broken man A broken man

Here she comes, you better watch your step She's going to break your heart in two, it's true It's not hard to realize Just look into her false colored eyes She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown 'Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale) The things she does to please (She's a femme fatale) She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale)

Ah we're drinking and we're dancing and the band is really happening and the Johnny Walker wisdom's running high And my very sweet companion she's the Angel of Compassion she's rubbing half the world against her thigh And every drinker every dancer lifts a happy face to thank her the fiddler fiddles something so sublime all the women tear their blouses off and the men they dance on the polka-dots and it's partner found, it's partner lost and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops: It's closing time

Welcome to the lonesome *world* of Abel, where every brother's knife is set to slay you... paranoia keeps you healthy, crooked deals can keep you wealthy, serum vials to help you when you're sad. Every other face is bent and broken. Wrap your teeth around the only game in town. Made your clothes from insolation, break the day for pay and ration, serum vials to help you when you're sad. Killed by an *angel,* lost inside amazing colors... it's never how you feel. It comes in a bottle. Let's say you found a gun, how long would your bad side burn? It's never how you feel. It comes in a bottle.

Come over to the window, my little darling, I'd like to try to read your palm. I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy before I let you take me home. Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
So Long, Marianne Leonard Cohen (The Essential Leonard Cohen)

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm This one, this form I hold now. Embracing you, this reality here, This one, this form I hold now, so Wide eyed and hopeful. Wide eyed and hopefully wild.
We barely remember what came before this precious moment, Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside... This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

Met the ghost of Steven Foster at the Hotel Paradise. This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes- Rooms were made for carpets, towers made for spires, ships were made for cannonade to fire off from inside her.

There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time, walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea. But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

O baby I waited so long for your kiss for something to happen, oh something like this.
And you're weak and you're harmless and you're sleeping in your harness and the wind going wild in the trees, and it ain't exactly prison but you'll never be forgiven for whatever you've done with the keys.

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you.

My lungs take in the fragrance of remorse, what is the cost, am I living, If you let your lungs fill up with pain then you will drown in your own regret. My arms feel so numb my heart palpitates missing a beat. the blood freezing in my veins. the taste of rust in my mouth. But today I just threw it all away Though the light burns my eyes I will not be blind, If you blink you could miss so much. Please don't ever close your eyes.
