I got love but I feel so bad I got love but I feel so bad I used to feel so good and strong Only you know what went wrong I got love but I feel so bad I’ve been crying on a sunny day I’ve been crying on a sunny day I’ve seen people walking in the park I’ve been hiding out until dark I’ve been just crying on a sunny day The good lord knows I’m down here But he’s just watching me die He knows I need to suffer Underneath his perfect sky I got love but I feel so bad I got love but I feel so bad You got blood on both of your hands You got blood on both of your hands I was Abel you were Cain But you never put me out of my pain Now you got blood on both your hands The Good lord picked a shepherd To be the first to die Now I’m the one who’s suffering Only He knows why I got love but I feel so bad I got love but I feel so bad I got love but I feel so bad I used to feel so good and strong Only you know what went wrong I got love but I feel so bad I got love but I feel so bad
Just another fall baby on the way back home Another stone wall baby well I guess I should have known We could have had it all baby Before our chances were blown Just another fall baby on my way back home I could hardly believe it when you said you had an open mind I was so excited I was in love, I was snow blind Cracks appeared in the ice but they were pretty just like Venice lace But I could see what was gonna happen as the lines appeared on your face Just another fall baby on the way back home Another stone wall baby well I guess I should have known We could have had it all baby Before our chances were blown Just another fall baby on my way back home Years go by like passing clouds they disappear into thin air But just because time has flown that don’t mean I still don’t really care It churns me up and it burns me up Like a lever running 107 degrees You can’t see the symptoms but Deep down I know I got your disease Just another fall baby on the way back home Another stone wall baby I guess I should have known We could have had it all baby Before our chances were blown Just another fall baby on my way back home Someone must have told you that my world was flat instead of round Well I know it’s hard to listen when both your feet are six feet off the ground Accidents don’t happen unless someone lights the fuse along the way Well maybe you’ve forgotten all the things I whispered to you every day Oh just another fall baby on the way back home Another brick wall baby well I guess I should have known You didn’t have the gall baby to tell me on your own Just another fall baby on my way back home
Somebody told me you were back in town That you’d been asking if I was still around Yes I am But I’m a different man now I heard you were singing at the Hollywood Bowl I saw a poster for it a few weeks ago So I knew But I’m a different man now We were just like Jekyll and Hyde I mostly laughed a lot you mostly cried What we did together can never he denied It’s a miracle that we’ve even tried Somebody mentioned that they saw your show Said you sang a song about me, let everybody know How it was But I’m a different man now How does it feel to be the one cast aside How does it feel to be so empty inside Somebody told me you were back in town You’ve been asking if I was still around Yes I am But I’m a different man now
You don’t know me, and I don’t know you but Something says we will The night is falling and All I’m asking is Have you got time to kill? My soul is way up in the winter sky And your heart is buried deep beneath the sea But it you’ve got nothing left to lose Will you hold me while I’m drowning in the blues All your dreams of being healed Well they can wait another day Strangers can be perfect so they say Don’t let words get in the way My life has been a troubled one And I can see that yours has too If what I feel is true Let me kiss your eyes While you’re drowning in the blues You don’t know me, and I don’t know you but Something says we will The night is falling and all I’m asking is Do you have time to kill?
I wish you knew how much I love you baby But it never comes out how I want it to I Wish you knew how much I love you baby But it never comes out like I want it to It’s like my tongue got disconnected from my brain And the words get stuck like glue If you could see me when we’re torn apart My hotel room’s like a zoo If you could see me when we’re torn apart My hotel room’s just like a zoo I want to bring it all back home but baby I don’t have a clue I’ve seen a girl in a catsuit she was hanging from my balcony I’ve seen a girl in a catsuit she was hanging from my balcony When I asked her what her name was It was about half past three Well a policeman came to see me right here in the studio Well a policeman came to see me right here in the studio Well I said he could stay a little while If he had no place else to go I bought a big Alsatian dog and I keep him on a chain I bought a big Alsatian dog and I keep him on a chain He knows all about my problems but he don’t know my name That’s why I need you baby much more than I can say That’s why I need you baby much more than I can say You never try to pin me down I wish you would someday
If you want it babe Well you gotta slow down Sometimes it’s hard babe You gotta know how Keep your hands on the wheel But take your foot off the pedal See if you can just feel the engine Underneath the metal If you want it baby You gotta slow down It you want it babe You gotta slow down If you want my love You gotta keep a tight hold Sooner or later baby I’m gonna let it all go Your mind is running wild But there’s no need to panic I’m right here with you baby I’m just a slow motion addict If you want it baby You need to slow down If you want it baby You need to slow down If we say goodbye It won’t be the end I’m not your lover baby Not your new boyfriend We ain’t got time to waste So let’s not fool around You’re the best looking girl I ever seen in this town So if you want it baby You gotta slow down If you want it babe Slow down
You took my love then you gave it back I never knew that I could feel so insecure I watched the world around me start to crack It’s hard to see just where I could stand for sure My arms open wide Tell me when will you decide I watched a part of me just disappear Like autumn leaves before the snow begins to fall There was nothing in the world I’d fear Now it seems that I’m afraid of it all My arms open wide Tell me when will you decide So now you know I’m not so strong I’m trying to say this the best way I can And if I’m hiding behind this song I was told you must never try it you want to be a man With my arms open wide Tell me when will you decide With my arms open wide Tell me when will you decide
Now that it’s gone Now we’ve lost everything Even the songs you sing Don’t mean a thing anymore It’s been too long God only knows you now Time to come home Before the day goes down Here in this empty field I’m feeling what you feel And it breaks my heart You’re on the open stage Yes I can feel your rage But you’re not there Now that it’s gone You never made it out And with one lonely shout You gave yourself away It’s been too long God only knows you now Time to come home Before the day goes down There caught in a photograph Here in the aftermath Things won’t be the same There’s no one else to blame I’m calling out your name But you’re not there Here in this empty field I’m feeling what you feel And it breaks my heart Now that it’s gone Now we’ve lost everything Even the songs you sing Don’t mean a thing anymore It’s been too long God only knows you now Time to come home Before the day goes down
The caravan wheels are crooked and worn But they’re still able to pull that oil trailer along On its way To “The Greatest Show lln Earth” The make up’s cracked and the |ipstick’s faint He looks less like a clown now he looks more like a saint On his way To “The Greatest Show on Earth” Once upon a time he was a lion uncaged No one came near he could never be upstaged He held his head high like a statue down in Rome He was surrounded by beauty he was never alone How the tightrope walkers are practicing their falls The bearded lady is handing out tickets for the stalls They gladly pay To see “The Greatest Show Onn Earth” His black boots polished, top hat and tails He’s called the Ringmaster because he never fails Every day Come what may He brings a cabaret Hip hip hooray Even doctors say It’s in his DNA He was born that way Come see “The Greatest Show On Earth”
Well a man fell down a pothole He was looking for a dime It was full of alligators He climbed out just in time He was caught by paparazzi He sold his story to the press He even met the Dalai Lama Another the story of success Well a lady went to Paris, France Just to try on some shoes She stopped a real bank robbery It was all over the news Well she fell in love with the French detective She even bought a wedding dress Then she ditched him at the altar Another story of success And I ran into a gun store I was hiding from the cops They had photos posted everywhere Last seen on Top of The Pops Wanted all over the country Had to change my address Now I’m hanging out with the McBride gang Another story of success Everything’s a mess
Here’s a new song For Nashville It’s kinda country blues ‘Cause I love the way I’m feeling here It kinda goes with my tattoos and I feel like someone touched me And I’m walking in his shoes, singing a new song for Nashville Life’s been kind to me, but I’ve had my ups and downs I can’t say it’s been trouble free I made the shore but I nearly drowned I’ve been killed in so many ways Even shot right in the back Overdosed on alcohol, amphetamines and smack I’ve slept in the city doorways audit: the lraclr of limousines But somehow I’m still alive today I can’t believe the things I’ve seen Now I‘m here Here with… A new song For Nashville It’s kinda Country Blues ‘Cause I love the way I feel down here It kinda goes with my tattoos and I feel like someone touched me And I’m walking in his shoes, singing a new song for Nashville I want to thank all of my musician friends And all these new friends that I’ve made Sometimes it’s hard to get to know someone I just want you to know I played… A new song for Nashville Well it’s kinda Country Blues And I love the way I feel down here Kinda goes with my tattoos And I feel like someone touched me And I’m walking in his shoes Singing a new song for Nashville
Christine passed me by in the alleyway She was beautiful of form and face Her eyes sparkled like black diamonds She made the filthy street a holy place I followed her to the gates of Golem’s junkyard She paid some guy to let her look inside He stood there counting out her money Christine she lowered down her head and cried Underneath the garbage and torn papers She found a box of letters from Ramon Though every word he spoke was broken English These were more like scriptures carved in stone Heroin, it draws you inlike a little boat floating Underneath he bridge of sighs Heroin, it draws you in And the prison walls are casting dark circles underneath your eyes She spent hours reading every single letter Even though her mind was racked with pain Christine always knew he was a junkie What she didn’t know he started to explain “My father never wanted any children He only wanted whiskey and a smoke I tried to kiss him once when he was sleeping His eyes opened but he never spoke” I never understood how Ma could take it Every day with all those kids around her neck He used to call her my little Spanish angel She slowly tuned into a nervous wreck Heroin, it draws you inlike a little boat floating Underneath he bridge of sighs Heroin, it draws you in And the prison walls are casting dark circles underneath your eyes And the prison walls are casting dark circles underneath your eyes
I could see it in her eyes That she was dealing from the bottom Her stare was cold as ice And just like Johnny Rotten She’d been everywhere I’d been Seen all the people at sea I knew that she could never come clean Not even in her dreams I could taste it on her lips That she was dealing from the bottom And even when she stripped Right down to skin and cotton She was still making a plan A million dollars and a man She’d get it anyway that she can Even with a gun in her hand I’ve been around this world So many times that I’ve forgotten And I can see it in her smile That she was dealing from the bottom But I was still under her spell I’m sure everybody could tell I knew that I could go to hell But I’d go there with a rebel yell
