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.
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
You really don’t want me
You just keep me hanging on
Sloopy, I don’t care what your daddy do (ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause you know, Sloopy, girl, I’m in love with you (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And so I say now
Hang on, Sloopy, Sloopy, hang on
Hang on, Sloopy, Sloopy, hang on
I don’t care (he don’t care)
I don’t care (he don’t care)
I don’t care (he don’t care)
About this world
I don’t care (he don’t care)
About that girl
I don’t care (he don’t care)
Oh, and this boy would be happy
Just to love you, but, oh, my
That boy won’t be happy
Till he’s seen you cry
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?
Hey Joe, I said, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand? Oh
I’m goin’ down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin’ 'round with another man, yeah
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
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
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
I don’t like you, but I love you
Seems that I’m always thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly, you really got a hold on me
I’ve got you under my skin.
