Well the sun comes up and you stare your cup of coffee, yup
Right through the kitchen floor
It can feel like hell, so you might as well, get out and sell
Your smart ass door to door

Pour me another cup of COFFEE
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
and play that truck drivin' man

As she's heading for the bedroom chair,
Its just another day.
Slipping into stockings,
Stepping into shoes,
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat.
Ah, it's just another day.

For I have got another girl
Another girl who will love me through the end
through thick and thin she will always be my friend

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
In the tidal destruction the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.

But your new shoes are worn at the heels
And your suntan does rapidly peel
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick.

But let me get to the point
Let's roll another joint
And turn the radio to loud
I'm too alone to be proud
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels, to be me

Don't the sunrise look so pretty
Never such a site
Like rollin' into NY City
With the skyline in the morning light
ROLL right through the night

Somebody's calling after somebody
Somebody turns the corner out of sight
Looking for somebody
Somewhere in the night
Tender is the night

Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.

Somebody's calling your name.
Somebody's waitin for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin to.

Sunrise, sunset
Since the beginning, it hasn't changed yet
People fly high, begin to loose sight
But you can't see very clearly, when you're in flight

Every year along about this time it all goes dry
There's nothing round for love or money that'll get you HIGH
Henry got pissed off and said he'd run to Mexico
To see if he could come back holdin' twenty keys of gold

Well we made all the hot spots.
My money flowed like wine
Then that low down Southern whiskey began to fog my mind
And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk,
of the house at the edge of town

Ripped off and run out of TOWN
Had my guitar burned when I was clownin'
Haven't slept in a bed for a week
And my shoes feel like they're part of my feet
Let me come down where I won't be a bother to no one
Let me unwind please give me a hole to recline in

Won't you please stop your teasin'
Ya know you got no reason
To be clownin' with my heart
Can't you see what you're doin' with your recipe for ruin
Got me drownin', no it's tearin' me apart

Did you see any action? Did you make any friends?
Would you like some affection? Before I leave again.
I've been walking behind you, since you've been able to see.
There's never been any reason, for you to think about me.
Did you have any bad dreams, did you break any glass?
Would you be my companion, is there even a chance?
You've been talking in circles, since I've been able to cry.
There's never been any reason, for ever telling me why,

Now whatcha gonna do, when the planet shifts
Whatcha gonna do, gonna slit your wrists
Bleed all over the milky way
The stars in your eyes look red today
Cry love, Cry love

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby

I like your pin shot
I keep it with your letter
Done up in blueprint blue
It sure looks good on you
So won't you smile for the camera
I know I'll love you better, Peg

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

Have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
If you don't know what I mean,
Won't you stand up and scream?
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know.

And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the GHETTO

Sitting on a park bench
Eyeing little girls
With bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.

Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Cold and tired, hope all gone
Just how far this road goes on
I'd just like to see
All or nothin', high or low
Just how far this game can go

Cold, Cold Cold
Cold, Cold Cold
Freezin'. It was Freezing Cold in that hotel
I had no money my special friend was gone
The TV set was busted so she went along
I called room, room service
I'm down here on my knees
A peach, or a pear, or a coconut please

People fly high, begin to loose sight
But you can't see very clearly, when you're in flight
Well it's high time, that you find
The same people that you must use on your way up
You might meet up, on your way down

I got a dance that ain't got no steps,
I'm gonna let the music move me around
I got a dance that ain't got no steps,
I'm gonna let the music move me around

Will it go round in circles,
will it fly high like a bird up in the sky
Will it go round in circles,
will it fly high like a bird up in the sky

8 miles HIGH
And when you touch down
You'll find that it's
Stranger than known

Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes
Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes
You know I will be welcome, I won't have these stranger blues
These stranger blues

We were always looking for true north
With our heads in the clouds, just a little off course
I left the motor running, now if you're feeling down and out
Come on Baby drive South, with the one you love

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
