- Born To Be Burned
Walk in the street, late, it was late at night,
I was trying to keep, I was trying to keep out of their sight.
I used to run between you think was me you left me standing,
And I was born to be burned.
Wait, wait for the man, to come along,
I would like to see how, I would like to see how he sells his song,
Fads he purchased trading like the ones displayed in the window ooow,
- Darkly Smiling
Darkly Smiling
Darkly smiling
There are no tickets
And you may pay
As you leave.
The man in black goes lurching through
And he doesn't even think of you
- Father Bruce
A lonely preacher and he lives at the Swiss Hotel
One night in the middle of a sermon, oh, out the window he fell
Oh, oh, Lenny, we're so glad you're getting well well well
You see the hardheaded people all dress up in a big black robe
They say his word offend them, you know they're hiding their heads in the hole
The words are killing dirty, I use it in the last line
But use a short word for loving, and dad, you wind up doing time (you end up in jail)
- Free Advice
Woman says she loves me, she gives me free advice
Woman says she loves me, she gives me free advice
I wonder who it is she loves if she wants me to be so nice
Her friends, they are perfect but I am always a fool
Her friends, they are perfect but I am always a fool
She brings them all around to watch me blow my cool
- Grimly Forming
I looked out my window,
The cloud, Was grimly forming,
Waiting for the Rain I saw,
The one Dark cloud forming,
The Soldiers, Paid no heed,
I could hear their hollow laughter,
Down the hill in pairs and Threes
- Love You Girl
I love you girl,
and when I go
don't let no one say
that it isn't so
But something's calling out to me
that I don't understand
but can't refuse
- Often As I May
I love him,
as often as I may,
and I will give him before it goes away,
the grass and wine brought love that makes him laugh and gentle.
Look! at him he may be smiling,
the eyes are wide and black and acid clear,
not exactly knowing why he stays when he speaks of leaving.
