Crawl, crawl, clock on the wall,  
Eternity is shorter  
Than waiting for an errant love  
An hour and a quarter.

</div>

Staring blindly into space  
Getting up to splash my face  
Wanting just to stay awake  
Wondering how much I can take

Should I try to do some more?  
25 or 6 to 4

There’s a strange new light in my eyes  
Things I’ve never known  
Changin’ my life  
Changin’ me

I’ve been searchin’  
So long  
To find an answer  
Now I know my life has meaning  
Oh oh

We’re gonna have a wing, ding doodle tonight  
But right now

I’m looking for a fox

What the fox say?

Big blue eyes  
Pointy nose  
Chasing mice  
And digging holes  
Tiny paws  
Up the hill  
Suddenly you’re standing still

Maybe you’ll get a replacement  
There’s plenty like me to be found  
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny  
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

How does it feel?  
How does it feel  
To be without a home  
Like a complete unknown  
Like a rolling stone ?

Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)  
Wherever he laid his hat was his home  
And when he died, all he left us was alone

Like a rolling stone.  
Like the FBI, and the CIA And the BBC,  
BB King And Doris Day, Matt Busby  
Dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it.

There is good reason, I guess  
Having it once gone too far  
When you clean out the hive does it make you want to cry?  
Are you still being followed by the teenage FBI?  
Someone tell me why  
Someone tell me why

Why does the sun go on shining  
Why does the sea rush to shore  
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world  
'Cause you don’t love me any more

</div>

You cry out in your sleep  
All my failings exposed  
And there’s a taste in my mouth  
As desperation takes hold  
Just that something so good just can’t function no more

But love, love will tear us apart again

you were there  
Two worlds collided

Sliced incision, zero vision, loss of vital signs  
Skin contortion, bone erosion, your life becomes your fine  
Ripping apart, severing flesh  
Gouging eyes, tearing limb from limb

My foot’s on the throttle and it’s made of lead  
But I’m a fast ridding daddy with a real cool head  
I’ma gonna pass a truck on the hill ahead-  
[Scrreeech-BANG, tinkle]  
Transfusion, transfusion  
My red corpsuckles (sic) are in mass confusion  
Never, never, never gonna speed again  
Pass the crimson to me, Jimson

Dead Man’s Curve, it’s no place to play

Won’t come back from Dead Man’s Curve

Wake up, wake up dead man  
Wake up, wake up dead man.

Jesus, were you just around the corner?  
Did you think to try and warn her?  
Were you working on something new?  
If there’s an order in all of this disorder  
Is it like a tape recorder?  
Can we rewind it just once more?

Wake up, wake up dead man  
Wake up, wake up dead man.  
Wake up, wake up dead man.

Wake me up before you go go  
Don’t leave me hanging on like a yo yo  
Wake me up before you go go  
I don’t want to miss it when you hit that high
