Stranded with a name They get the best of me But I won′t will walk away I don′t complain Now that I was your dame So then you pester me And I get peed in the face And there′s a pain Walker hits the road What would I care I like going nowhere I got the rain The curds that I was made Make a bag lunch
So I know I must show Yes my show I must go With my soul By my hand Where I stand It′s my role It′s my soul
Pearl necklace sits a girl She know who picked at me I ain′t seeking to have a safety say Her bottle thief is out of me A mind bought easily In the fit of this mad McFearless tried to thumb my eyes But that′s why he′s blinding me I ain′t living that way I want my esteem And make me a better man of me And I might easily Just give up on the show
Yes my show I must go With my soul By my hand Where I stand It′s my role It′s my soul
I must show It′s my show I must go With my soul By my hand Where I stand It′s my role It′s my soul
My cold, cold, stellar heart says get on your way I aint to proud to say but thats how I′m made. I′ll be that person ′til my dying day I try so awful hard, but I can′t change.
From runways to the road, I ramble alone This thumbnail sized of a heart is black as cole Your beauty, it still brings me to my knees Don′t waste a tear on me, this is my disease
Don′t need no slow man Don′t need no slow man I know I′m pickin up speed Don′t need no slow man
Those preppy boys in blue They′re makin fun of us So we take it to the streets Cuz we want to be first But we′re not here to make your children bleed We′re here to come around with the tumble weed
Don′t need no slow man Don′t need no slow man I know I′m pickin up speed Don′t need no slow man Now guitar, go get her!
Don′t take these boots off me when you′re thinking I′m dead I′ll still be running from the demon in my head I′ll be that person ′til my dying day I try so awful hard, but I can′t change
Don′t need no slow man Don′t need no slow man I know I′m pickin up speed Don′t need no slow man Don′t need no...

Hard times as we go We know what times will change I talked to Jesus Jesus says I′m okay
Pushin and jumpin Jumpin the mountain range And in a railroad Railroad from Hell to Maine
While she says she′s on her own I′ll be pacin on the phone Sneakin on the train come back
Awful sick and tired of the gang She comes from nothing Hopin for a taste of fame She′s got a birthmark A birthmark the shape of Maine
While she says she′s on her own I′ll be pacin on the phone Sneakin on the train come back
Awful sick and tired of the gang And it′s cold and it′s cold and it′s cold and it′s cold when you′re near Cold when you′re near any bottle And it′s cold and it′s cold and it′s cold when you′re near Cold when you′re near any bottle And it′s cold and it′s cold and it′s cold when you′re near Cold when you′re near any bottle
Hard times as we go We know where times will change I talk to Jesus Jesus everyday
I got a razor sharp mind That wants to cut you down A little place in mind Maybe I could bed you down Pony up we got a ways to go Set me up my friend I′m running low
Oh if you take my hand I′m gonna get you outta here The crash of bottles breaking and the swinging chandelier In a rain of bullets and blood and snow I saw the midnight coming and watched her go
In a rain of bullets and blood and snow I saw the midninght come and watched her go Yeah I watched her go I watched her I watched her go I watched her go
I′ve been roaming around Always looking down at all I see Painted faces, build the places I cant reach
You know that I could use somebody You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you, And all you know, And how you speak Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody You know that I could use somebody Someone like you
Off in the night, while you live it up, I′m off to sleep Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat I hope it′s gonna make you notice I hope it′s gonna make you notice
Someone like me Someone like me Someone like me, somebody
Someone like you, somebody Someone like you, somebody Someone like you, somebody
I′ve been roaming around, Always looking down at all I see

Come on out and dance, If you get the chance, We′re gonna spit on the rivals. All I wanna know, Is how far you wanna go, Fighting for survival.
Underneath the stars, Where we parked the car, Ain′t showing signs of stopping. Pretty little girls, Naked to their curls, Ready to lay in the coffin. If you wanna go, I′m gonna go, I got a fire burning. Come on take my hand, When we see the band, Baby′s gonna be a big one. Baby′s gonna be a big one.
If you see the lights, And we hear the fights, It′s gonna be a stunner. I′ve got something here, If you give me one more beer, I′m gonna call a runner.

Stranded in this spooky town Stoplight is swaying and the phone lines are down Snow is crackling cold She took my heart, I think she took my soul With the moon I run Far from the carnage of the fiery sun Driven by the strangle of vein Showing no mercy I′d do it again Open up your eyes You keep on crying Baby I′ll bleed you dry Skies are blinking at me I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it′s coming closer And it′s coming closer You shimmy-shook my boat Leaving me stranded all in love on my own Do you think of me Where am I now Baby where do I sleep Feels so good but I′m old 2000 years of chasing taking its toll
And it′s coming closer And it′s coming closer And it′s coming closer And it′s coming closer
I want to say it′s to me to change the world Now I want to play til they kicking down the door Now I′ll be alright as long as I ain′t seen it all Now I′mma hold you tight to that night we had a ball We had a ball
Here′s to the kids out there smoking in the streets They′re way too young but I′m way too old to preach They know it all but they still ain′t seen the truth Just play my song and I′ll show it all to you
Either way you caught me with your lyin You caught me with your lyin You caught me with my pants down
My papa′s slave had to go and fight the war He′d beat ′em all then he took ′em all to court My papa called and said you′d in the meet Now he′s working awful hard and start to read
Either way you caught me with your lyin You caught me with your lyin You caught me with my pants down

She look so cool in her new Camaro It′s black as coal and it goes boy, go go go I brought my fight next to her Camaro And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows She blows, she blows
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet, giving me head on the unmade bed, while the limousines wait in the street. Those were the reasons and that was New York, we were running for the money and the flesh. And that was called love for the workers in song probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn′t you babe, you just turned your back on the crowd, you got away, I never once heard you say, I need you, I don′t need you, I need you, I don′t need you and all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel you were famous, your heart was a legend. You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception. And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."
And then you got away, didn′t you babe...
I don′t mean to suggest that I loved you the best, I can′t keep track of each fallen robin. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, that′s all, I don′t even think of you that often.
I loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don′t matter how it all went wrong That don′t change the way I feel And I can′t believe that time′s Gonna heal this wound I′m speaking of There ain′t no cure, There ain′t no cure, There ain′t no cure for love I′m aching for you baby I can′t pretend I′m not I need to see you naked In your body and your thought I′ve got you like a habit And I′ll never get enough There ain′t no cure, There ain′t no cure, There ain′t no cure for love
There ain′t no cure for love There ain′t no cure for love All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky The holy books are open wide The doctors working day and night But they′ll never ever find that cure for love There ain′t no drink no drug (Ah tell them, angels) There′s nothing pure enough to be a cure for love
I see you in the subway and I see you on the bus I see you lying down with me, I see you waking up I see your hand, I see your hair Your bracelets and your brush And I call to you, I call to you But I don′t call soft enough There ain′t no cure, There ain′t no cure, There ain′t no cure for love
I walked into this empty church I had no place else to go When the sweetest voice I ever heard, whispered to my soul I don′t need to be forgiven for loving you so much It′s written in the scriptures It′s written there in blood I even heard the angels declare it from above There ain′t no cure, There ain′t no cure, There ain′t no cure for love
There ain′t no cure for love There ain′t no cure for love All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky The holy books are open wide The doctors working day and night But they′ll never ever find that cure, That cure for love
I set out one night When the tide was low There were signs in the sky But I did not know I′d be caught in the grip Of the undertow Ditched on a beach Where the sea hates to go With a child in my arms And a chill in my soul And my heart the shape Of a begging bowl
From bitter searching of the heart, Quickened with passion and with pain We rise to play a greater part. This is the faith from which we start: Men shall know commonwealth again From bitter searching of the heart. We loved the easy and the smart, But now, with keener hand and brain, We rise to play a greater part. The lesser loyalties depart, And neither race nor creed remain From bitter searching of the heart. Not steering by the venal chart That tricked the mass for private gain, We rise to play a greater part. Reshaping narrow law and art Whose symbols are the millions slain, From bitter searching of the heart We rise to play a greater part.
Its going to happen very soon. the great event which will end the horror. which will end the sorrow. next tuesday, when the sun goes down, I will play the moonlight sonata backwards. this will
Se the effects of the worlds mad plunge into suffering, for the last 200 million years. what a lovely night that would be. what a sigh of relief, as the senile robins become bright red again, and the retired nightingales, pick up their dusty tails, and assert the majesty of creation!
I built my house beside the wood So I could hear you singing And it was sweet and it was good And love was all beginning Fare thee well my nightingale ′Twas long ago I found you Now all your songs of beauty fail The forest closes ′round you The sun goes down behind a veil ′Tis now that you would call me So rest in peace my nightingale Beneath your branch of holly Fare thee well my nightingale I lived but to be near you Tho′ you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you
Because of a few songs Wherein I spoke of their mystery, Women have been Exceptionally kind to my old age. They make a secret place In their busy lives And they take me there. They become naked In their different ways and they say, "Look at me, Leonard Look at me one last time." Then they bend over the bed And cover me up Like a baby that is shivering.
