| Hey boys. |
| I’ve come a long way
|
| Along in the sun and the rain
|
| What am I doing here? |
| No-star hotel
|
| Wasting my wealth
|
| Telling myself to go to hell
|
| Arm in a cast, heart like a corncob
|
| Do not disturb sign hangin' on the door knob
|
| Brain unplugged, my whole life in my luggage
|
| My cruelty is dependable
|
| And my ugliness is rugged
|
| Smoke still slow dances out of my barrel
|
| In the distance I can hear a kid
|
| Singing a Christmas carol
|
| And this is terrible, gorgeous and sinister
|
| The pillow still smells like the secrets of my visitor
|
| Nobody needs to know about this kind of thing
|
| Blood on my back from the attack of her diamond ring
|
| Me of all people, my mind’s in a tail-spin
|
| I’m just a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman
|
| Part of me feels like dirt, the rest doesn’t know
|
| She said I’m a way better lover than her husband
|
| I’ve had a whole lot of fights
|
| Along in the sun and rain
|
| Where am I going? |
| Backwards to nowhere
|
| In another man’s shoes instead of my own pair
|
| I promised discretion and to be at her beck and call
|
| I look like a dandelion and feel like a wreckin' ball
|
| I ran out of wishes and then she came to offer hers
|
| Lookin' at myself in the mirror
|
| I’m at a loss for words
|
| I’m good at my job, goin' out of my mind kinda
|
| Holding my face in my hands like fine China…
|
| I’ve seen a whole lot of towns
|
| Along in the sun and rain
|
| We met up again, went undercover literally
|
| I told her about Cuba, I told her about Italy
|
| Physics and photography, a little
|
| Russian history
|
| Everything about her to me was such a mystery
|
| I gave her the once over
|
| She gave me the blood blister
|
| She had no idea that I was fallin' in love with her
|
| Call me mister. |
| Crucial inspiration
|
| All she wanted was my lust and useful information
|
| What am I putting myself thru this crap for?
|
| Feels like I’m standing on top of a trap door
|
| Lost at sea, tangled up in golden hair
|
| Scavenger-hunter my life is like a folding chair
|
| My daily routine is down to a system
|
| I give regular people truth and wisdom
|
| That’s what I do -it's my job- the prophet/profit
|
| I can see the future and make money off it…
|
| I’ve kissed a whole lot of lips
|
| Along in the sun and rain |
