Shut your eyes, my darling
There's nothing you can say
The man in the moon won't fall on you
He doesn't live there anyway
You don't have to be a soldier
To fight in your private war
Let the blood you might see rain down on me
You don't have to fight no more

When he was a kid, he'd be up at five
Take shots till eight, make the thing drive
Out after school, back on ice
That was his life, he was gonna play in the Big League
The Big League

Not many ways out of this cold northern town
You work in the mill and get laid in the ground

I watched while you might say
So long, happy trails
You can only wait so long
'Til the wind shakes your sails
And you see that she says, "bye bye"
Then she turns and digs her heels back in
Oh, I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

When I turned seventeen
We had passion, we had dreams
Thought the love we were fighting for
Was something holy, something more

When I turned twenty-one
We were outside on the run
When I walked out with my girl

He sat down with his guitar in a distant place
When a man walks up and tells him
"Buddy there are some things you cannot say
I'll be damned if you'll tell me
What I can and cannot feel
And I won't be no puppet here
Of none of your back room deals
Modern love was invented by the minstrels in the dark ages

If I was a sailor man
If I was lost at sea
I'd see your light shining there
Off the rocks, off the sand
That light would be all that I'd see
And if I was the king of the world
With all the world to set free
You'd be the one there to force my hand

Let the woman have her peace
Let her set the beat
Around the world for emotional truth
Waited out here for so long
Wanna let love liberate you
Don't you need emotional truth
I don't want to fake it no more
Comin' in for emotional truth

He says you want a brand new start
She says that we've grown apart
I know a thing or two I speak from the heart
Don't insult me with what your friends say
After all that we've been through
You'd owe that to me like I'd owe that to you
So go your own way and in time you'll see
Exactly who your best friend was

God, I hate your needles
And your dirty little vial of pills
I guess I love the sweat you put me through
I know I love your body
Like I used to love your mind
But now your soul's a slave
To all the things you use
I put you in the tub, babe

I can see it on the road ahead
Running hard, I'm here
I could be there instead
Many houses with the lights on
Silhouettes behind the shades
Beside fires
I'm sure that I saw you in one
I loved you but

I'm gonna check my scars at home
Gonna cash my chips and roam
Gonna walk before I fade to black
I'm gonna write a new resume
I'm gonna write you off the page
I'm gonna take what we might take away
And you will find a brighter day
And in another year

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened Door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore

Lunatic Fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
And I know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
Let you kill the laughter

I was standing with my paper there
Minding my own news
For everything that someone said
Someone else had a different view
I watched the whole thing there
Unfold upon my TV screen
"A new world order is on its way"
Well, pass the popcorn, please

Walking by the roadside
I see my fate written upon it
I'm checkin' out the back here
Where my race is not run

Might hear a thousand harps of heaven
Rain down upon her
I can't stand and watch

Moving out, can you see that shine
Feel the change as you roll on down the line
Where the shore fires burn out on a new frontier
Where the past don't haunt you and there's
Nothing else to fear

Baby don't you hold out too long
they might not let you be

She's thinking about the prince and Cinderella
The outlaws and the hustlers and the heroes
That never seem to fall
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
What the outcome of the story is
'Cause in real life, I try to tell her
It's not like that at all
Oh, won't you please just hold out now

Do you remember the night the lights went out
All along the promenade
It started to rain, my coat, your dress got wet
We laughed 'til we almost cried
Your spirit was so contagious
Our timing really bad
You were so outrageous
How could we hold back?

See her by the corner
Then she walks on by
Heads turn to meet her
Steely eyed
She's her own girl
Her own design
She holds her head high
Hides her scars just fine

We live out here in the desert
Where time stands still
In the face of our foolish pride
We trade our love for ambition
And tell each other
We'll get it all back in time
But time moves on like a river
Soon leaves us all behind

Waiting by the shoreline
In Somalia for your reply
I need you to come see me
That's no lie
The guns are getting closer
The sweat pours like dew
That fell from the trees in Tripoli
In the spring
