Harry rag, harry rag  
I’ll do anything just to get a harry rag  
And I curse myself for the life I’ve led  
And roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed

You know I like to party  
And I like to have fun  
So take 'em off and spread 'em baby  
Here I come

I’m rockin’  
Rockin’ my life away  
I’m movin’ and groovin’  
I’m havin’ fun night and day

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent  
you asked for the latest party  
With your silicon hump and your ten inch stump  
Dressed like a priest you was,  
Todd Browning streak he was  
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee,  
I’m sure you’re not protected, for its plain to see  
Diamond Dogs are poachers, and they hide behind trees  
Hunt you to the ground they will,  
mannequins with kill appeal

Man, the drunks were verbal in the takeaway  
Beating up the Chinee at the counter  
I put a few inside me at the end of the day  
I took out my revenge on the revolution counter

Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage  
You’d think by now at least  
That half a brain would get the message

</div>

The incense burned away and the stench began to rise  
And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others’ eyes  
And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil  
And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil  
No one respects the flame quite like the fool who’s badly burned  
From all this you’d imagine that there must be something learned.

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last  
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast  
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun  
Crying like a fire in the sun  
Look out the saints are comin’ through  
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Some day you’ll know i was the one.  
But tomorrow may rain, so i’ll follow the sun.  
And now the time has come  
And so my love i must go.  
And though i lose a friend,  
In the end you’ll know, oooh.  
One day you’ll find that i have gone.  
For tomorrow may rain, so i’ll follow the sun.  
Yes, tomorrow may rain, so i’ll follow the sun.

There is a lake between the sun and moon  
Not too many know about  
The gap between actor and act  
The space between wishes and fact

There is a town in north Ontario,  
With dream comfort memory to spare,  
And in my mind  
I still need a place to go,  
All my changes were there.

I still don’t know what I was waiting for  
And my time was running wild  
A million dead-end streets  
Every time I thought I’d got it made  
It seemed the taste was not so sweet

Just sixteen, a pick-up truck  
Out of money, out of luck  
Got no place to call my own  
Hit the gas and here I come  
I’m running free, yeah  
I’m running free

Live free and beauty surrounds you  
The world still astounds you  
Each time you look at a star

Stay free, where no walls divide you  
You’re free as the roaring tide  
So there’s no need to hide

Then the tide rushes in, and washes my castles away.  
Then I’m really not so sure which side of the bed I should lay.

And so castles made of sand  
Fall in the sea  
Eventually

Don’t let it bring you down  
It’s only castles burning  
find someone who’s turning  
and you will come around.

When I got back home I found a message on the door  
Sweet Regina’s gone to China crosslegged on the floor  
Of a burning jet that’s smoothly flying  
Burning airlines give you so much more

We’re coming home on a plane crash  
We trip away through the night  
We’re breaking up on impact  
We’ll bring it to you live

We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde, comes on at 5  
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye  
It’s interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry

Feel like I’m flying, I’m dying to say  
Want you forever and easy

Don’t you know what I’m saying?

Why in the world would anybody put chains on me?  
I’ve paid my dues to make it.  
Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be.  
I’m not happy when I try to fake it. No!
