Tell Mama,  
And all the folks back home,  
Sometimes a man just feels  
He’s got to make it alone

When you’re alone and life is making you lonely  
You can always go Downtown

</div>

This city desert makes you feel so cold.  
It’s got so many people, but it’s got no soul  
And it’s taken you so long  
To find out you were wrong  
When you thought it had everything.

</div>

All my designs, simplified  
And all of my plans, compromised  
And all of my dreams, sacrificed

Ever had the feeling you’ve been here before?  
Drinking down the poison the way you were taught  
Ever thought from here on in your life begins  
And all you knew was wrong?

Arriving somewhere but not here

</div>

I just can’t put my finger on what it is,  
That says to me, “Watch out, don’t believe her”  
I can’t give any reasons girl,  
My thoughts are bound down in a whirl  
I just can’t think who in the world was that girl,  
I know I met her somewhere

Diamonds, Daisies, Snowflakes,  
That Girl  
Chestnuts, Rainbows, Springtime…  
It’s That Girl  
She’s tinsel on a tree…  
She’s everything that every girl should be!

Who can turn the world on with her smile?  
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?  
Well it’s you girl, and you should know it  
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Her ass is a spaceship,  
I want to ride.  
(Her ass)  
She’s sexy.  
Move, she wants to move,  
But you’re hoggin’ her.  
You’re guardin’ her.  
She wants to move.

Hey  
I was just a skinny lad  
Never knew no good from bad  
But I knew life before I left my nursery  
Left alone with big fat Fanny  
She was such a naughty nanny  
Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me  
Hey hey!

I’ve been singing with my band  
Across the wire, across the land  
I seen every blue eyed floozy on the way  
But their beauty and their style  
Went kind of smooth after a while  
Take me to them dirty ladies every time

Oh won’t you take me home tonight?  
Oh down beside your red firelight  
Oh and you give it all you got  
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin’ world go round

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin’.  
That’s what I said.  
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand,  
Or so I have read.

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo.  
I like to sink her with my big torpedo.

Big bottom! Big bottom!  
Talk about bumcakes,  
My girl’s got 'em.  
Big bottom, drives me out of my mind,  
How could I leave this behind?

</div>

Leave Them All Behind  
Wheels turning around  
Into alien grounds  
Pass through different times

Leave them all Behind  
Just to see  
We’ve got so far to go  
Until we get there

Just let it flow  
Colours shining clear  
Fading into night  
Our grasp is broken

There’s nothing we can do  
I Don’t care about the colours  
I don’t care about the light  
I don’t care about the truth

Now the big one turns by faith,  
And the little one turns by the grace of God.  
There’s a wheel in a wheel,  
Way in the middle of the air.

You know God walked down in the cool of the day  
And called Adam by his name  
And he refused to answer  
‘Cause he was naked and ashamed  
Who’s that writin’, John the Revelator  
Who’s that writin’, John the Revelator  
Who’s that writin’, John the Revelator  
Wrote the book of the seven seals

Seven, seven, seven…deadly sins  
That’s how the world begins  
Watch out when you step in  
For seven deadly sins  
Seven deadly sins  
That’s when the fun begins

At school they taught me how to be  
So pure in thought and word and deed  
They didn’t quite succeed  
For everything I long to do  
No matter when or where or who  
Has one thing in common, too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin  
It’s a sin

Be sure it’s true when I say,‘I love you’  
It’s a sin to tell a lie.  
Millions of hearts have been broken  
Just because these words were spoken

Why can’t you see  
What you’re doing to me  
When you don’t believe a word I say?

We can’t go on together  
With suspicious minds  
And we can’t build our dreams  
On suspicious minds

It started out with a kiss  
How did it end up like this?  
It was only a kiss,  
It was only a kiss

Now I’m falling asleep,  
And she’s calling a cab  
While he’s having a smoke  
And she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bed  
And my stomach is sick,  
And it’s all in my head -

But she’s touching his chest now,  
He takes off her dress now,  
Let me go…

And I just can’t look, it’s killing me  
And taking control

I can picture every move that a man could make  
Getting lost in her lovin’ is your first mistake  
Sundown ya better take care  
If I find you been creepin’ ‘round my back stairs  
Sometimes I think it’s a sin  
When I feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin again

What holds your hope together,  
Make sure it’s strong enough  
When you reach the end of your tether  
It’s because it wasn’t strong enough,  
I was going to drown,  
Then I started swimming  
I was going down,  
Then I started winning  
Winning - winning

When you’re on the bottom  
Crawl back to the top  
Something pulls you up,  
and a voice you can’t stop,  
I was going to drown,  
Then I started swimming,  
I was going down  
Then I started winning  
Winning - winning.
