get the sweet spot
in the line
when the first gun pops up
I leave them behind
and at the first turn
I always carve my line
'times I turn my head yeah
and wave goodbye
but I don't have my own car
and I have to race my friends
'cause I'm not a rich man's son no
I'm not a millionaire
no
no no no
no no
no
you are the only daughter of
a privileged second son
you say that I'm your lover but
I'm not the only one
no no
no no no
but I think if I had my own car
then I know that I could turn your head
take you up
to see the mountains and
sing you songs before you go to bed
yeah//yeah yeah yeah//yeah yeah//yeah
yeah//yeah//yeah//yeah yeah
'bout midnight
it's just Joe and me
while we clean the stands up
he sings me melodies
and on the bus home
route '95
see the love and the hatred and the boredom on the faces of passersby
and I know that I don't have my own ride but
I can teach you how to go real fast now
stick with me if you would like some wildness
stick with me and see the whole wide world
yeah//yeah yeah yeah//yeah yeah//yeah |

every day I take you
dancing in the garden
you could be my woman
that would be fine
if you'd be my baby
I would drive you crazy
every night and day
all of the time
look at me
looking at you
looking at me
looking in your eyes
look at me
looking at you
looking at me
looking in your eyes
and when you take me
into your garden
let me kiss your blossom
and make it mine
I just wanna drink your
sweet crystal clear water
and then help you turn it
into wine
look at me
looking at you
looking at me
looking in your eyes
look at me
looking at you
looking at me
looking in your eyes
and when you are sleeping
I can watch you breathin'
murmur in the dark
and call my name
and when I join you
underneath the blanket
I know I will never
be the same
look at me
looking at you
looking at me
looking in your eyes
look at me
looking at you
looking at me//looking in your eyes
(repeat x2) |

meet me in London city
beneath the slate grey sky
I've done it all without you
but that's no life
that's not the life
bring your grace to London city
I've been pinin' all my life
and if you don't make it through Heathrow
I just might die
yes I could die
and I know I wasn't pleasant
and I guess I never am
but if you come to me in London
I'll try again
I'll try again
come to London city
'cause this tour's just not the same
all the hotel rooms and faces
it just seems strange
yes it's strange
and I know I wasn't pleasant
and I guess I've never been
but if you come to me in London
I'll try again
I'll try again
meet me in London city
I'll make it worth your time
you're the only angel for me
and that's no lie
no that's no lie
no that's no lie |

her hair
fell like a waterfall
she was young lean and long
I thought
she was betrayin' me
now I find I was wrong
freight train
take me outta here
I don't care where you're bound
'cause I just
beat me a man tonight
who never done me wrong
I just got to be goin'
I just want to be outside
set me out in the middle of the desert tonight
so I can howl//to myself
love sings
like a whip-poor-will
but she don't sing for me
so I'm goin'
down to Mexico
they'll never find me
she'd be up the hill doin' laundry
I'd be mendin' the fence out back
she'd be talkin' 'bout little babies again
and I'd be smiling’
to myself
I hope
the road will take me back
company would be nice
I better bring
a bottle of wine tonight
might help break the ice |

Birth Of The Blues
it started a long time
it started a long time
it started a long time ago
it started with a whip
and a man went down
a boot on his head as he laid on the ground
but he didn't die
he got up
and start walking down that road
and the man was a black man
the man was a proud black man
try-y-ing to go home
and the man is hurt
his bloods on the ground
he needs some help
but he's got no-one around
so he digs down to his soul
and sings a song that goes a little somethin' like this
[...]
and the devil was there
the devil was there
you better believe the devil was there that day
but the devil wasn't walking with the black man
no the devil wasn't walking with the proud black man
no the devil was wiping the blood off his boots that day
and I can guarantee you brothers and sisters
within a hundred and ten percent accuracy baby
that jesus was walking with the black man that day
that's the birth of the blue-es |

well a white hot girl will shred you
if you don't know what you're doin'
she'll have you rearrange your mirrors
while she's kissing your best friend
but those lips those eyes that skin
anyway
you're fallin' down
and I say
don't do it
watch out boy
just run
well a white hot girl gets flirty
if you take her off her counter
you can wind her up with baubles
she love to see herself dance
but those lips those eyes that skin
anyway
you're fallin' down, yeah
and I say
don't do it
watch out boy
just run
let me tell you what you need boys
you need a girl to shake your branches
she'll have the curves you like to drive on
and save it all just for you
and if you want to find this lover
she's not the girl in the micro mini
she wouldn't need all that attention
she's standing right next to you
and her lips her eyes that skin
anyway
you'll fall down
and I'll say
go do it
don't wait boy
have fun
and her lips her eyes that skin
anyway
you're fallin' down
and I say
go do it
don't wait boy
have fun
whoa |

I know you
are tryin' to help me
when you say the things you say
but my head
can't wrap around it
that there could be another way
open your eyes
now you can see
I'm on my knees
I'm hopeless
you can give
up on me
it ain't no thing
anyway
I've played my hand
cast my lot in
now there ain't no looking back
but what that's done
and where it leaves us
oh my god it's looking black
open your eyes
now you can see
I'm on my knees
I'm hopeless
you can give
up on me
It ain't no thing
anyway
come to me
and lay your head down
close your eyes and fall with me
I won't think
about tomorrow
because tonight I'm feelin' free
layin' with me
girl can you see
I'm on my knees
I'm hopeless
you can give
up on me
it ain't no thing
anyway
open your eyes
now you can see
I'm on my knees
I'm hopeless
you can give
up on me
it ain't no thing
anyway |

Too Fast
I know you are going too fast
for me to ever sneak up on you
you don't want one pair of arms
to hold you night after night after me
you look at me with smoky eyes, sayin'
come over here fella and see how warm the water is
but you've got eyes from all the guys now
what's just one more
what am I like a potato chip to you
it sounds nice if it were true
last night I dreamt of you
but what does that mean anyway
it sounds nice if it were true
last night I dreamt of you
but what does that mean anyway
I know you are going too fast
for me to ever sneak up on you
and one night stands burn me so good but
I'm afraid I'd fall this time
and that wouldn't be so sexy to you |
