And I’m far, far away
With my head up in the clouds
And I’m far far away
With my feet down in the crowds
And I’m loose around the world
But the sound of home is loud
Still as loud
Home
Where my thought’s escaping
Home
Where my music’s playing
Home
Where my love lies waiting
silently for me.
No more cows to be ropin’,
No more strays will I see,
Round the bend she’ll be waiting
For my rifle, my pony and me
Bus driver please look for me
'Cause I couldn’t bear to see what I might see
I’m really still in prison and my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon’s what I need to set me free
I love to hear those convicts squeal
It’s a shame these slugs ain’t real
But we can’t have dancin’ at the local county jail
Load up your bullets
Shot me through the head
Gasp from where your standing
You might think I’m dead
When I hit the ground
Look at me bleed
Old man your sympathy is something I don’t need
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, have some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste
Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything’s okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything’s alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume
Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dreaming 'bout green shoes
Haircuts and cake
And then he wishes
The world away
And then he kneels
As if to pray
Make the world go away
Get it off my shoulder
Say the things we used to say
And make the world, make it go away
Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway
Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Won’t you come and join the party
Dress to kill.
Why don’t you stay for the night ? (night !)
Or maybe a bite ? (bite !)
I could show you my favourite obsession.
I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
I miss her so much I could die
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
Here comes the woman
With the look in her eye
Raised on leather
With flesh on her mind
Words as weapons
sharper than knives
Makes you wonder how
the other half die
I found my own true love once
On a blue Sunday.
She looked at me and told me
I was the only… one in the world
Now I have found my girl
Said youd be true to me You said our loves never gonna die
Said youd be true to me But baby you didnt even try.
I`ll make it alright
From Monday morning till Friday night
Oh, those lonely weekends.
Everybody’s working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody’s goin’ off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
I’m not angry, I’m just saying…
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
And the heartache
The risk you run
The chance you take when you love someone
And the sorrow
For the lonely one
When the heartache comes
