Bus stop rat bag  
Ha, ha, charade you are  
You fucked up old hag  
Ha, ha, charade you are  
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass  
You’re nearly a good laugh  
Almost worth a quick grin

Another one rides the bus  
Another one rides the bus  
And another comes on, and another comes on  
Another one rides the bus  
Hey! He’s gonna sit by you!  
Another one rides the bus

It’s midnight at the depot  
And I drag my bags in line.  
Travelin’ light, I got to go  
But the bus won’t be on time.  
Everybody’s looking half alive.  
Later on the bus arrives.

They punch my ticket  
I find a seat  
And we move out past the lights.  
Come on Driver, where’s the heat?  
It’s cold out in the night.  
I keep telling to myself that I don’t care.  
Come tomorrow, I’ll be there.

</div>

And oh, I’ll be there to comfort you  
Build my world of dreams around you  
I’m so glad that I found you  
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong  
I’ll be your strength  
I’ll keep holdin’ on (holdin’ on)  
Yes I will, yes I will

When I think about the good love you gave me  
I cry like a baby  
Livin’ without you is drivin’ me crazy  
I cry like a baby  
Well, I know now that you’re not a play thing  
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

Scream like a baby  
Sam was a gun  
And I never knew his last name  
And we never had no fun

Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun of your hand?

When she woke up and found, that her dream of love was gone.  
Madam.  
She ran to the man who had lead her so far astray.  
And from under a velvet gown,  
She drew a gun and shot her lover down,  
Madam.  
Miss Otis regrets she’s unable to lunch today.

Her eyes they shone like the diamonds  
You’d think she was queen of the land  
And her hair hung over her shoulders  
Tied up with a black velvet band

Sun - help me when I run - bleedin’ from the moonlight  
Nurse - help me with a verse - I need to sing the tune right  
Days - I wasted in the maze - Raise your eyes above the ways  
To keep a silver spoon bright - fly up to balloon height…  
To ride the spotlight in the sky  
But did you ever stop to wonder why?

Yes, I remember what you said last night  
And I know that you see what you’re doing to me  
Tell me why

When I look into your eyes, you don’t believe me  
I can see it in your eyes, you don’t believe  
And the face I see before me  
Is both sides of a mirror  
You really know you’ve got a hold on me  
And the face you’re looking into  
Is both sides of a window  
Any way you look, you see through me
