Lyric | Song |
Pretty little girl running up and down the street with no shoes on, I got a pretty little girl of my own at home | |
Oh people, look around you, the signs are everywhere, you've left it for somebody other than you, to be the one to care | |
Make room for my 45's along beside your 78's nothing survives, but the way we live our lives! | |
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me, one says she's a friend of mine | |
Now for me some words come easy, but I know that they don't mean that much, compared with the things that are said when lovers touch | |
Never should've had to try so hard to make a love work out - I guess. | |
This friend of mine said,'close your eyes, and try a few of these' - I thought I was flying like a bird, so far above my sorrow | |
If you ever need holdin', just call my name, I'll be there | |
Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them | |
Just make sure you've got it all set to go, before you come for my piano | |
In '65 I was 17 and running up 101, I don't know where I'm running now | |
I was just trying to hear my song | |
And California's shaking like an angry child will, who has asked for love and is unanswered still | |
| Lyric | Song |
Now let the music keep our spirits high, and let the buildings keep our children dry | |
Caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender | |
No matter how close to yours, another's steps have grown - in the end there is one dance you'll do alone | |
Now I'll be leaving in the morning, leaving half of me behind, to find the pieces life's been torn in, and take whatever love I find | |
So leave them in their frozen worlds, come and be my lover | |
I heard that highway whisper inside, 'are you ready to fly?' | |
Chased from the gates of the city where no one had touched me | |
To catch the love that I'd heard of in books and films and songs, now there's a world of illusion and fantasy in the place where the real world belongs | |
But he only came to say that he can't breathe here | |
It's like your standing in the window of a house nobody lives in, and I'm sitting in a car across the way (let's just say) It's an early model Chevrolet | |
But with all my expectations long abandoned - my solitary nature notwithstanding. You're the one who pulled me out of that crash landing | |
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you, and I took your childish laughter by surprise, and at the moment that my camera happened to find you... | |
