All is wellBlack lights and a disco ball
Got the carpets going wall to wall
Maybe someday
Won't be just one way
Had a dream I was laying in hell
Looked a lot like this hotel
Maybe one day
It won't be just one-way
BittersweetheartWhy you always want to get the best of me
I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see
They're naked and they're following my master who is blind
And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind
So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start
Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark
I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart
But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart
Black GoldTwo boys on a playground,
trying to push each-other down
See the crowd gather round
nuthin' attracts a crowd, like a crowd
Black Gold in a white plight,
wont ya fill up the tank, lets go for a ride
I dont care, 'bout no wheelchair,
Broken GlassLong distance information, ring me 608
Laughing at the other end
get me my prescription, come and walk my dog
please get me anything
You can't seal fate with a kick
You should know it doesn't work that way
As for your lofty aspirations
Can't Even TellI may never get what I want
But I'm happy just to die trying
And I hope I ain't done nobody wrong
But I miss you smiling
And I'm looking for a cure cause I'm bored to tears
And I'm stuck in here, stuck out here, stuck in here
We lived through another day
Crazy Mixed Up WorldNow that you're old enough
And all grown now, tryin' to act so tough
Here comes a slap right in the face
Branding irons and cattle prods
Cowboys everywhere, ropes flyin through the air
Leaves some kind of funny aftertaste
HomesickI want to live with you in the fifth dimension
In a dream I've never had
Cause I just can't live like this in a world like this
I just want a kiss goodbye
And we are not of this world
And there's a place for us
Stuck inside this fleeting moment
I Did My BestHoled up in the dressing room without a dress
Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess
And I knew all about my surprise party
I was spoiled and depressed
Hey I acted surprised and I told lots of lies
Yes I did my best
Stop the truck at the truck stop, I need something to help me crash
I Will Still Be LaughingDoorways open up and close more ways to a punchline
They're all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line
You're the talk of the town cause you're up and you're down
It's a cycle, I've found, it always comes around
But I will still be laughing
Yes I will still be laughing
Lonely For YouBarefoot and pregnant she tries not to bend
The ear of the doctor’s not much of a friend
The doctor’s on location missing his kids
And wondering where she went to live
Spend time alone and look after your life
Remember your loved ones your boyfriends your wives
And if you are lonely and she’s lonely too
Long Way HomeYou've got eyes but they can't see
What's inside a tv and they never look at me
You won't know and you're never claim to show
That special feeling inside
Oh how time flies when its got nowhere to go
Up to the skies and it only goes to show
I've waited here for you a long, long time
I think I'd better go
MiseryThey say misery loves company
We could start a company and make misery
Frustrated, Incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you'd pay to see
Nothing to Write Home AboutDear mother, what can I say
It's been so long since I went away
And yes, I miss the comforts of home
But I guess I'm better off on my own
No one told me people could be so cruel
Nobody told me about any of this in school
Still nobody understands the things that I don't understand
Runaway TrainCall you up in the middle of the night
Like a fire, fire without a light.
You were there like a blow torch burning,
I was a key that could use a little turning.
So tired that I couldn't even sleep,
So many secrets I couldn't keep.
Promised myself I wouldn't weep,
Runaway Train - Сбежавший поезд, что никогда не вернётсяЗову тебя в кромешной темноте,
Как светлячок с погасшим огоньком.
Ты была искрою света,
Я был ключом, что нужно было слегка провернуть
Я так устал, что не мог и заснуть,
Так много тайн не вышло сохранить...
Я обещал себе, что слёз не будет –
Secret No MoreWell, well, now what the hell has gotten into you
Is it something we can make it through
I'll spend the rest of my life trying to figure you out
Like a black silhouette in a shadow of doubt
Some kinda spectacle that no one can see through
But it burns inside, you hide it well
You hide it from yourself
Somebody To ShoveGrandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn't rang for so long
And the time flies by, like a vulture in the sky
Suddenly he breaks into song
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
I'm waiting by the phone
Stand Up And Be StrongYou might be right
You might be wrong
You might just think your life has gone on for too long
Your knees get weak
And your heart grows cold
And youre tired of doing everything youre told
Straight UpYou know the galaxy's full of black holes
We don't know which one
Oh take a look I take a look inside
This is a whle new kind of illusion
Based on a brand new kind of confusion
Built on wise decisions based on foolish pride
And you wonder why you wasted all this time
String Of PearlsShe swings the string of pearls on the corner
The street lights reflect the light in the water
The string it snaps and the pearls go sailing
And they splash and bounce and roll 'cross the wet street
As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings 'round the corner
She darts from the eyes of the panic-struck driver
Who's racing to the delivery room
Without a traceI fell in love with a hooker she laughed in my face
so seriously I took her I was a disgrace
I was out of line
I was out of place
out of time to save pace
see the open mouth
of my suitcase
