Well, the moon I know and the town I live
Steady as she waits
Seems as though she yearns for me
Calls me by my name

Sometimes she says "Come home to me"
"Kiss me while it's late"
And other nights she's just hangin'

Give me mercy and I need it now,
I’m a bleed a little poison out,
I’m a cry a little river down
and then I’m setting this whole thing on fire,
and I’m burning up the night she died
and I’m putting every last picture aside
I’m gonna say what I need to say,
in my very last letter to you,

Look what you started,
I seem to be coming out of my skin
Look what you've forgotten here
The bandages just don't keep me in

And when it was over, I woke up alone

And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive

Don't think twice, I still believe it John.
We lived those nights, like we were dying...
On the long haul drives, for our Amaria...
With the ragged sails high, and the radio on.

And I always have remembered, in case you're wondering,
84 takes a lifetime, and Bobby does it better.
I still sing 'em ragged for you and Maria.

I've been fumbling with your heartstrings and that's good enough for me
And if I've rained on one of your hours then I know I must be working
Try it on for size, my darling
See what a man you can make of me
I will eventually haunt you or you'll eventually be my queen
And I'll be with you through the dark
So that you do not go through the dark alone
Or on your own

what a hot and sultry summer
the steam just slides up off them streets
you got to stay inside and wait for the night
and then come on over and see me
there's a poetry about these streets
it just slips from your skin
and goes right underneath
and mama always knew i'd meet a girl like you

We are the boys from Little Eden
We are the hardest Saturday nights
Drank from the fountains of the fireworks
Sweat and bone for a better life

We like our choruses sung together
We like our arms in our brothers' arms
Call every girl we ever met Maria

I took a drive today, thought about you.
Thought about a friend who passed, and how much we just went through.
I saw the sun shine off the hood of a cadillac,
I thought about some things i'd say, and some i would take back.
I thought about how fortunate i feel to be alive.

And if you're scared of the future tonight,
We'll just take it each hour one at a time.

Got your pride and your prose
Tucked just like a tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke
Just in case you need it

I know you got your pride and your prose tucked like just a tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke, just in case you need it, son
I heard it's been a ride rougher than the last one

If I thought it would help, I would drive this car into the sea
If the fire and smoke and explosions could speak for me
If the words that I used to try to explain how something inside of me started to break
I would - one by one, my words just got in the way

How many nights did I crash against the waves with my head going under?
How many days did I spend trying to see it your way - if you try, you'd remember
I changed and changed and kept on saying

I'm all washed out by the side of the road.
Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose.
Saying "Baby honey child, I loved you so long but you deserve much better than me"

So I'm just burning all around.
All the miles in the road.
And I'm never going back.
And I'm never going home.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
Sometimes I dream some more
I keep my wounds without a bandage, baby
As I come stumbling through the door
I spend my nights in dislocation
Talking to spirits on the floor
I think I came to find the feeling, baby
Between what was mine and what was yours

Mary, this station is playing every sad song.
I remember like we were alive.
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls.
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights.
And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her.
Licking young boys blood from her claws.
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew.
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb.

Come pick me up from the night
From the hands of the dark
From the things I didn't know
That would simply break your heart
There were years in this room
Blind and shattered in the glass
Held it up to myself
'til I just couldn't stand

See
I know a nurse specialized in the worst
Your friend in need, she'll be your friend indeed
When you can't find your tongue, and when you _____ that weep
She'll say uh, uh huh, uh huh

And why don't you lean on me if you wanna?
Why don't you lean on me for a while?

You can tell Gayle, if she calls,
That I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.
When were kids on the field of the first day of school.
I would've been her fool.
And I would've sang your name in those old high school halls.
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.

So the ambulances came
They took your pulse and packed up your things
And the papers read
Some boys forget what the heart it brings
And the pounding in the street
Was your heart in four four time
And the taste of defeat
Was was never too far from your mind

Suddenly like lightning there is a doubt
25 was a good time but I'm older now
How did I get so lost in the middle of night
Oh where have you been all my life
Round here they pick me up and let me down
Pour some salt in your wounds and then lay you out
I've never seen anybody get out of this town alive

I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance.
Rico said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head.
This is the sound from Camden town."

And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,

Stay the same, don't ever change
Cause I'd miss your ways
With your Bette Davis eyes
And your mama's party dress

While this city pumps it's aching heart
For one more drop of blood,
We work our fingers down to dust

See I've been here for 28 years.
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels.
We tattooed lines beneath our skin.
No surrender, my Bobby Jean.
[2x]

We've been burned by all our fears.
Just from growing up around here.

I never will forget you my American love
And Ill always remember you, wild as they come
And though if I saw you Id pretend not to know
The place where you were in my heart is now closed
I already live with too many ghosts

Now everybody lately is living up in space
Flying through transmissions on invisible airwaves

Well, Cherry bomb, you are a mystery
exploding sparkling quiet nights
My teenage heart pumped all my misery baby to fingertips that might ignite
and all along you knew my story, didn’t you? And all night long I carried yours
Your blood was mixed with wine and robbery, baby
and left us always wanting more

So don’t sing me your songs about the good times

If I could write, I'd tell you how much I miss these nights.
Where we dig around the bones, try to find peace and patches for the holes.
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter.
Corner boys told her how I was dying to meet her.
Like a prayer I said, on a dead man's knee.
You drove up like a parade.

You and your high top sneakers and your sailor tattoos.

Goodbye circus wheel
May you rest along the seas
Well I've given you the fight of my youth
And the triumph of my enemies
And goodbye to fairweather home
And your faithless factories
I have given you the blood and the truth
From the wounds that they laid on me

I was born in a town where the rivers flow free
On a January night when the cold winds freeze
I got an Irish name and an injury
Blessing and a curse cast down on me
Ain't nobody got the blues like me
Ain't nobody got the blues like me

Was a blood red sky on the morning tide

Let it ride, let it ride, let it roll off your mind.
Don't say a single world, get back inside.
Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night,
like I was a ghost in your dreams.

And it was all completely wrong, Virginia.
You were much too much for me.
I was a boy on the lawn, with his eyes to the sky.

I don't think I'm goin out anymore
You better find some other body to comfort.
When I was trembling baby you was a diamond,
but you ain't a diamond no more.

So what you wanna say is my head is a hurricane
well l-l-l-let me sleep on that, uh huh, alright.
You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery

Honey bee, she say I got too much sympathy but I can call her any time
And if you're lost and you need a little peace from me. bring all your trouble back
Honey bee, how have I hurt you? Come on, tell your blues to me
Maybe I should live up there in the curtain on the wings of Mercury

I was fortunately desperate and turbulently innocent
I was living underneath my body weight
My eyes were swollen, green and hazy, sick from grief and hate and envy

On President Street, you'll find the sisters
Praying over
My city's heart
While Union Avenue
Turns to it's disciples
Who feels the pressure heat coming on hot?

And If all was well

Come on skinny love just last a year
Pour a little soap we were never here
My my my my my my my my ,my my
Standing in the sea of blood
And crushed underneath

And I tell my love to record all
Cut down all the ropes to let me fall

Mom and Dad went to a show
Dropped me off at grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please, oh no

(chorus)
Grandma take me home X8

Had to eat my dinner there

It took so long to get me back on my feet
It takes so long to find the words and the beat
And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
To hear you call on him to try to recapture
But them old records won't be saving your soul
And them feelings got the reasons you know
That you've forgotten somewhere
Riding a train to place

well i feel just like a stranger
i dont sleep at all anymore
and the arms that used to hold me
well now they done me harm
and i feel just like a murderer
and i feel just like a gun
i've been shakin in the hand of somebody
whos finally had enough

Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.

'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
The chains I been hearing now for most of my life.

In the backseats of burned out cars.
In the disenchantment lane.
The ideal angels twist and turn, ask forgiveness for future mistakes.
But you and I we've been through this.
Maybe 100 times before.
Always hitching rides with strangers.
Papa warned us about before

Not tonight, not tonight
Honey I, am on fire
I can't feel a single thing but the weight of the wires
Cracking electric line
Remember baby we were a stone
And we would sleep where we've fallin'

We would fight about it (fight about it!)

Did you grow up lonesome and one of a kind?
Were your records all you had to pass the time?
Or maybe you were taken by the mysteries of New Orleans
Or the uptight rowdy girls of Lower Chelsea

And we hustle in London but we live in the city
And we keep it down when we take a beating
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on

That's enough my men
It's time to clock my hands
Call all the papers tomorrow
Say we did the best we can

Cause the doctor is in the hospital
And the poet just let down
There's one good man I know

We are the last of the jukebox romeos,
We are romantics by the light of the fourway
We came to sing out a chorus, reinvent the good times
And to bring it all back home again

[Chorus:]
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right

Don't write me no more letters
My mailbox is full of bombs
Between you and the kooks on my block
I don't remember the good times
I wasn't there and you were kind
And my wife has some dogs in our yard
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
We were strangers many hours

We were the magnificent dreamers.
In secret lamplight hideouts.
We swore the world couldn't break us,
Even when the world took us down.

So here I am struggling out in the mighty jungle,
Moving eighteen miles a minute, not slowing down for nothing.
I look to my left and I look to my right,

Ты можешь бежать очень долг
Можешь убегать очень долго,
Можешь бежать очень долго
Но знай, что Бог остановит тебя,
Однажды Бог остановит тебя.
Иди и скажи вон тому лжецу,
И этому, скрытому маской лицу,
Шулеру, сплетнику и подлецу
