But I’ve got to creep down the alleyway  
Fly down the highway  
Before they come to catch me I’ll be gone  
Somewhere they can’t find me

But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo  
What the hell am I doing here?  
I don’t belong here

</div>

I don’t know whose side I’m on  
I don’t think that I belong round here  
If I left the stage would that be wrong?

I tried to find myself a better way  
I got religion but I went astray  
They took my money and I lost my faith

Rain keeps crawling down the glass  
The good times never seem to last  
Close your eyes and let the thought pass

</div>

Lay your head upon my pillow  
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine  
Hear the whisper of the raindrops fallin’ soft against the window  
And make believe you love me one more time  
For the good times

You don’t have to mean it  
You just got to say it anyway  
I just need to hear those words for me  
You don’t have to say too much  
Babe I wouldn’t even touch you anyway  
I just want to hear you to say to me

Tell me lies  
Tell me sweet little lies  
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)  
Oh, no, no you can’t disguise  
(You can’t disguise, no you can’t disguise)  
Tell me lies  
Tell me sweet little lies

Lies, lies, you’re tellin’ me that you’ll be true  
Lies, lies  
That’s all I ever get from you  
Tears, tears  
I shed a million tears for you  
Tears, tears  
And now you’re lovin’ someone new  
Someday I’m gonna be happy  
But I don’t know when just now  
Lies, lies  
A-breakin’ my heart

Too many teardrops  
For one heart to be cryin’  
Too many teardrops  
For one heart to carry on

You’re gonna cry 96 tears  
You’re gonna cry 96 tears  
You’re gonna cry, cry cry cry, now  
You’re gonna cry, cry cry cry

Too many puppies are being shot in the dark  
Too many puppies are trained not to bark  
At the sight of blood that must be spilled so that we may maintain our oil fields

Too many puppies  
Too many puppies

Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river  
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea  
You lay your bets and then you pay the price  
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

Little things that you do make me glad I’m in love with you  
Little things that you say make me glad that I feel this way

And when I’m down you always understand

There’s an old voice in my head  
That’s holding me back  
Well, tell her that I miss our little talks  
Soon it will be over and buried with our past  
We used to play outside when we were young  
And full of life and full of love  
Some days I don’t know if I am wrong or right  
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear

'Cause though the truth may vary  
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

</div>

I want to be with you  
I want to be clear  
But each time I try  
It’s the voice I hear  
I hear that voice again

I’m listening to the conversation:  
Judge and jury in my head  
It’s coloring everything  
All we did and said  
And still I head that sharp tongue talking  
Talking tangled words  
I can sense the danger  
Just listen to the wind

No good, can’t speak, wound up, no sleep  
Sky diver insider her, skip rope, stunt flyer  
Wounded lover, got no time on hand  
One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam  
Pause for business, hope you’ll understand  
Judge and jury walk out hand in hand

My eyes are sore  
My body weak  
My throat is dry  
I cannot speak  
My words are dead

Falling like feathers to the floor

Because I’m somewhere in between  
My love and my agony  
You see, I’m somewhere in between  
My life is falling to pieces  
Somebody put me together

I fall to pieces  
Each time I see you again  
I fall to pieces  
How can I be just your friend?

So dear friends your love is gone  
Only tears to dwell upon  
I dare not say as the wind must blow  
So a love is lost, a love is won
