You come out at night That's when the energy comes And the dark side's light And the vampires roam You strut your rasta wear And your suicide poem And a cross from a faith that died before jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church where you sleep with voodoo dolls And you won't give up the search for the ghosts in the halls You wear sandals in the snow and a smile that won't wash away Can you look out the window without your shadow getting in the way
Oh you're so beautiful with an edge and a charm But so careful when I'm in your arms
'Cause you're working, building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery and choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud A prayer from your secret god You feed off our fears and hold back your tears Give us a tantrum and a know it all grin Just when we need one when the evening's thin

you told me that you want to die. i said i've been there myself more than a few times. and i go back every once in a while. you called me lucky, you... you called me lucky. you said tonight is a wonderful night to die. i asked you how you could tell, you told me to look at the sky. look at all those stars, look at how goddamn ugly the stars are. it's one or another. between a rope and a bottle. i can tell you're having trouble breathing, cause you'll never be o.k., you'll never be o.k. (you'll always be in pain). you'll always feel this way. cause things they never work out right (the wrong way, the lonely way). you'll always be in pain. you told me that the daylight burned you and that the sunrise was enough to kill you. i said maybe you're a Vampire . you said it's quite possible, i feel truly dead inside. it's one or another. between a rope and a bottle. i can tell you're having trouble breathing, cause you'll never be o.k., you'll never be o.k. (you'll always be in pain). you'll always feel this way. cause things they never work out right (the wrong way, the lonely way). you'll always be in pain. don't forget to let your life rot you inside out. don't forget to let your life rot you inside out. don't forget to let your life rot you inside out.

Beneath the city two hearts beat Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked In whispers of soft refusal and then surrender in the tunnels uptown The Rat's own dream guns him down as shots echo down them hallways in the night No one watches when the ambulance pulls away Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light

Oh oh, come take my hand We're riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh oh oh oh, Thunder Road Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road Lying out there Like a killer in the sun Hey, I know it's late, We can make it if we run Oh oh oh oh, Thunder Road Sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road

It's leaving time again I'm headed out With all my friends It's a roll of the dice I've never thought twice About the way I've been spending my time Trying my guts out For every dime Working in an Office building tall You don't know Who's next to you at all But being out here The blood, the guts, the beer Is a test Only time will tell It brings you close, man Closer than hell
We're leaving Leaving again Can't recall Where are we been I guess we'll just go Go till we're too old Or we run out of road Jewel - Till We Run out of Road

In a world that can be so insane I don't think it's very strange For me to be in love with you I wanna know more than your brain
Into my life you were injected Not something that I expected Now I smile from your affection We have made a soul connection Just for whom does your bell toll Don't be cold show me your soul

As the island slowly sank The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room. The dealer said, "It's too late now. You can take your money, but I don't know how You'll spend it in the tomb." The tiny man bit the soldier's ear As the floor caved in and the boiler in the basement blew, While she's out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her, "My darling, je vous aime beaucoup." She sheds a tear and then begins to pray As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away From Black Diamond Bay.

My mind wanders as I,m trying not to fall in love with you 'Cause everytime I wake I ponder on my mistakes of what I said, it is always my esteem that I sure lose playing those stupid games as I always end up chasing you
I can't help myself anymore rehearsing my thoughts as I,m to scared to come to your door I pushed it all aside just stand next to you Now you won't talk to me for something I didn't do It's not going to work
And I'm trying not to think of you I'm all confused as I think of the things that I would do I'm all shook up as I get all nervous inside My emotions are something that I will always hide away

I went with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering
I went drifting Through the capitals of tin Where men can't walk Or freely talk And sons turn their fathers in I stopped outside a church house Where the citizens like to sit They say they want the kingdom But they don't want God in it

Consider the odds, Consider the obvious . The martyr is meaningless, The campaign has died. In the planning stages and the fallen faces Are the singular proof that it was ever alive.
This purchased rebellion has been outbidded, Denounced and rescinded and left to die championless. I begged you not to go. I begged you, I pleaded. Claimed you as my only hope And watched the floor as you retreated.
Hope has sprung a perfect dive A perfect day, a perfect lie. A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat.
Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight? Basking in your victory, Hollow and alone While you boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen. While you're left with nothing tangible to gain.

Ooh, you switched on me! I can handle that.
She runs through the streets With her eyes painted red Under black belly of cloud in the rain In through a doorway she brings me White gold and pearls stolen from the sea She is raging She is raging And the storm blows up in her eyes She will...
Suffer the needle chill She is running to stand still.

I was hoping to post this one LAST post. But this'll do.
Oh well, you've got me under your spell and I don't think that I'm kidding around. I don't think I can forget you now. I once sat up on my roof and examined the planning of my town. I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass and I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants. I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us rolling around down along the ground. I saw myself touch your face and I noticed jets begin to race above our heads. But I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me. I remembered the fact that I can't see what you need and I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place and how sh***y this town would seem without you in it. When you aren't around I let the shades fall down to shut out all the sun's light and make myself feel all right. What am I doing with my life? Remember that the only things we need sometimes are chilly nights and warmer thighs, 'cause there's nothing like being held.

Well, I had three weeks' vacation time coming After working all year down at Big Roy's Heating and Plumbing. So one night when the family and I were gathered 'round the dinner table, I said, "Kids, If you could go anywhere in this great big world, now, where'd you like to go ta?" They said, "Dad, We wanna see the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota." They picked the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota!
