Monday mornin’ feels so bad  
Ev’rybody seems to nag me  
Comin’ Tuesday I feel better  
Even my old man looks good  
Wed’sday just don’t go  
Thursday goes too slow  
I’ve got Friday on my mind

Eight days a week  
Is not enough to show I care

Spend your lives in sin and misery

Our house is a very, very, very nice house  
With two cats in the yard  
Life used to be so hard

We’ve come to scream in the happy house  
We’re in a dream in the happy house  
We’re all quite sane

This is the happy house  
We’re happy here in the happy house  
To forget ourselves-and pretend all’s well  
There is no hell

Well I never kept a dollar past sunset  
It always burned a hole in my pants  
Never made a school mama happy  
Never blew a second chance, oh no

I need a love to keep me happy  
I need a love to keep me happy

I need a woman 'bout twice my age  
A lady of nobility, gentility and rage  
A splendour in the dark, lightning on the draw  
Who’ll go right through the book and break each and every law

There is a lady sweet and kind,  
Was never face so pleas’d my mind;  
I did but see her passing by,  
And yet I love her till I die.

Her gesture, motion, and her smiles,  
Her wit, her voice, my heart beguiles,  
Beguiles my heart, I know not why,  
And yet I love her till I die.

There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold  
And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven  
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed  
With a word she can get what she came for  
Ooh, ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to Heaven

Oh, I know it’s strange  
But I think that it’s about to change  
So I’ll take the chance  
To get back into the straight again

Heaven only knows I’m really on the level  
Heaven only knows I’m trying to find a way  
Heaven only knows I’m walking down  
A straight and lonely road today

Well, I’m so tired of crying  
But I’m out on the road again  
I’m on the road again

But I’m out on the road again  
I’m on the road again  
I ain’t got no woman  
Just to call my special friend

And here I go again on my own  
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known  
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone  
'Cause I know what it means  
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

In the middle of the night  
I go walking in my sleep  
From the mountains of faith  
To the river so deep

I must be looking for something  
Something sacred I lost  
But the river is wide  
And it’s too hard to cross

Wide awake in the middle of the night  
I wonder how she’s feelin’  
Is it just a trick of the light  
Or is her ceiling peeling?

Out in the street, it’s 6 am  
Another sleepless night  
Three cups of coffee, but I can’t clear my head  
From what went down last night

I know we both have our own little ways  
But somehow we keep it together  
You hear me talk, but you don’t hear what I say  
I guess it don’t even matter
