I’ll never be your beast of burden
I’ll never be your beast of burden
Never (never) never (never)
Never (never) never be
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I’ll be your baby tonight.
My old man’s drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don’t care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Ramblin’ around this dirty old town
And singin’ for nickels and dimes
Times gettin’ rough
I ain’t got enough
To buy me a bottle of wine
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true?
That I get a Kick! Out of you
Kicks just keep gettin’ harder to find
And all your kicks ain’t bringin’ you peace of mind
Before you find out it’s too late, girl
You better get straight
I can grasp your hand so tightly, never feel my touch
You can always feel the pain, but you never feel the love
Hard times are harder when you can’t quite find the beat
You must search down deep down inside you
To find the peace that you seek
You’ve been learnin’, baby, I’ve been yearnin’,
All them good times, baby, baby, I’ve been yearnin’,
Way, way down inside honey, you need it,
I’m gonna give you my love… I’m gonna give you my love.
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
One day I noticed the world at my feet
Next day comes and it rolls into the street
Gathering speed, paying no heed
That made me bleed until I was blue
Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn’t hold you so I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
And I took off to find the sky
Sky pilot…sky pilot
How high can you fly
You’ll never, never, never reach the sky
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
Yes, and Joy was just a thing that he was raised on
Love was just a way to live and die
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field
Blue was just the Kansas summer sky.
Jupiter Island is full of meadows
Fertile pastures for growing rainbows
Illuminated portraits from strange orchestrations
Lost in a collage of its own creations
Never a chance to wave goodbye
Take my hand and we’ll fly
Snarling equinox among the rocks will seize you
And the fahrenheit comes out at night to freeze you
Wild duodenum are lurking in the trees
And the jungle swarms with green apostrophes
Oh, the Amazon is calling me
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone
Someone has been removed-what happened to her?
She got lost somewhere between
There and here, somewhere between
So far so near she got lost somewhere between
What happened to her?
And I know I was wrong when I said it was true
That it couldn’t be me and be her
Inbetween without you, without you
