When I want some lovin’  
And I gotta have some lovin’  
He says please, stop it, please  
He’s so unusual…

Ain’t good looking, but you know I ain’t shy  
Ain’t afraid to look girl, this is why  
So if you need some lovin’, and you need it right away  
Take a little time now, and maybe I’ll stay  
But I got to ramble…

Everyday is not enough of your love  
Everyday  
I need the day and every nighttime too  
Everyday  
Everyday  
Don’t you know what I’ve got inside  
A love that’s been denied  
A love that’s growing day by day  
You’re such a pretty child  
You’re about to drive me wild  
Come on Babe  
Now what you say

Everyday, it’s a-gettin’ closer  
Goin’ faster than a roller coaster  
Love like yours will surely come my way  
(A-hey, a-hey, hey)

And I’ve been riding on a ghost train  
Where the cars, they scream and slam  
And I don’t know where I’ll be tonight  
But I’d always tell you where I am

Mental wounds still screaming  
Driving me insane  
I’m going off the rails on a crazy train

Two kinds of people in this world  
Winners, losers  
I lost my power in this world  
'Cause I did not use it

So I go insane  
Like I always do  
And I call your name  
She’s a lot like you

Yes I’m going insane  
You know I’m laughing at the frozen rain  
And I’m so alone  
Honey, when they gonna send me home?

Inside outside  
Leave me alone.  
Inside outside  
Nowhere is home.  
Inside outside  
Where have I been?  
Out of my brain on the five fifteen  
Out of my brain on a train.

Condensation on the windows  
Peering back at myself  
Through the webs we have weaved  
'Til this radiant morning somewhere else

Oh where have I been

Sorry I’m not home right now  
I’m walking into spiderwebs  
So leave a message  
And I’ll call you back  
A likely story, but leave a message  
And I’ll call you back

Long distance directory assistance, area code 212  
Say hey, A&R, this is Mr. Rhythm and Blues  
He said, “Hello” and put me on hold  
To say the least the cat was cold  
He said, “Don’t call us, child, we’ll call you”

If that cat could talk what tales he’d tell  
About Della and the dealer and the dog as well,  
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin’ word.

To change the mood a little I’ve been posing down the pub  
On seeing my reflection, I’m looking slightly rough  
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash  
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash  
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash  
And by the time I’m sober, I’ve forgotten what I’ve had  
And everybody tells me that it’s cool to be a cat  
Cool for cats

Well honey it ain’t your money  
'Cause baby I got plenty of that  
I love you for your pink Cadillac  
Crushed velvet seats  
Riding in the back  
Cruising down the street  
Waving to the girls  
Feeling out of sight  
Spending all my money  
On a Saturday night

We always take my car cause it’s never been beat  
And we’ve never missed yet with the girls we meet

None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn’t be right  
To leave their best girl home now on Saturday night

I get around  
Get around round round I get around

Tooling down the highway doing 79  
I’m a twin pipe papa and I’m feeling fine  
Hey man dig that was that a red stop sign  
(Screeching bang! tinkle)  
Transfusion transfusion  
I’m just a solid mess of contusions  
Never never never gonna speed again  
Slip the blood to me Bud

Jerry was a race car driver  
He drove so goddamn fast  
He never did win no checkered flags  
But he never did come in last  
Jerry was a race car driver  
He’d say “El Sob number one”  
With a Bocephus sticker on his 442  
He’d light 'em up just for fun

Well-weathered leather  
Hot metal and oil  
The scented country air  
Sunlight on chrome  
The blur of the landscape  
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me  
Across the mountainside  
A gleaming alloy air car  
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide  
I spin around with shrieking tires  
To run the deadly race  
Go screaming through the valley  
As another joins the chase

He sort of smiled, and kissed me goodbye  
The tears were beginning to show  
As he drove away on that rainy night, I begged him to go slow  
But whether he heard, I’ll never know (No, no, no, no, no, no, no)  
Look out, look out, look out, look out!
