There’s a knife in his back  
That keeps the blood from running out  
He says it’s been there for years  
He laugh when he cries  
He’s got a crooked old spine  
He drinks a wine made of tears

Don’t Forget the Sky

What they do?  
(They smile in your face)  
All the time they want to take your place  
The back stabbers (back stabbers)

Two times, told about the women like you  
Two times, told about the things you do  
I used to think that you were sugar and spice  
I shoulda listened to my ma’s advice

Kicked in the teeth again  
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win  
Kicked in the teeth again  
Ain’t this misery ever gonna end?

My mama done tol’ me,  
When I was in knee pants,  
My mama done tol’ me, Son!  
A woman’ll sweet talk  
And give ya the big eye;  
But when the sweet talkin’s done,  
A woman’s a two face  
A worrisome thing  
Who’ll leave ya t’sing  
The blues in the night

There are women and women, and some hold you tight  
While some leave you counting the stars in the night.

Women who fall in love  
Women who need a shove  
Women who can’t be beat  
Get that woman in the back seat, yeah yeah  
Women in the U.S.A.  
Those women steal your heart away  
Women into rock ‘n’ roll  
Women who steal the show, go, go, go

Tonight I’m gonna take that ride  
Across the river to the Jersey side  
Take my baby to the carnival  
And I’ll take her on all the rides  
'Cause down the shore everything’s all right  
You and your baby on a Saturday night  
You know all my dreams come true  
When I’m walking down the street with you  
Sha la la la la la la  
Sha la la la la la la la la  
Sha la la la la la la la  
Sha la la la I’m in love with a Jersey girl

And her kisses taste like myrrh  
Her love is lost, like the man on the cross  
And no more, the awful ache

Musta got lost, I got lost, girl  
Give away the days you were mine

We can beat around the bushes  
we can get down to the bone

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down  
I had the radio on, I was drivin’  
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin’ Little Runaway  
I was flyin’

That never would come to me  
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads  
Runnin’ down a dream
