i should like to remember
how i used to forget you
instead i try and discover
a new way to get you
face down in the gutter
i can`t look at the stars
but as i taste this old mud here
i can sense that you are
not too far from home too far from
from your cozy little bed there
with an angry little moan
think of hitting me harder
shoot me back into the
past that brought me thought me up to
haunt you taunt you till you learned that
this is the point of no return
no more deals and no pretence
this is the point of no return
no more open-heart offence
this is the point of no return
no more petty crimes and no amends
no amends
no amends
i should like to remember
how i used to forget you
instead i try and discover
a new way to get you
into my life my world my soul
my poor mind revolves around you-
sweet little kitten
you - a chirpy little bird
i am thoroughly smitten
by the softness of the
word that lays on your tongue your lips
the your breath make believe no less than
this is the point of no return
no more deals.....
not too far from home too far from
feeling too alone to stand straight through the
past that brought me thought me up to
haunt you taunt you till you had enough
of my life my world my soul
my poor mind revolves around your
word that lays on your tongue your lips
your breath make believe no less than
this is the point of no return
no more deals and no pretence
this is the point of no return
no more open-heart offence
this is the point of no return
no more petty crimes and no amends
no amends
no amends

step right in
turn around
here to go
reckoning
there`s a finger
beckoning
this is me
changing
i am leaving
i am leaving
a loner a loon
howling at the moon
write it in the sky
rock n roll will never die
and
i thank you very much
if you don`t
cry
a river for me
i have drowned before-so don`t you
cry cry
a river for me
i only got a few minutes to go
don`t cry
a river for me
i learned how to swim
and i learned how to move-so
be cool

harder
you want it harder
by now
i should be smarter
sure
bold and beatified
anything but blue-eyed
get your gun
kill me quick
before i play another trick
you can do the pony
the bony malony
you can do the watusi
believe in what you see
and i thank you very much
if you don`t

a river for me
i have drowned before-so don`t you

oh yeah
shoot from the hip
take a trip to hell
and back
heave on
lazy devil
oh yeah
shoot from the hip
take a trip to hell
and back
heave on
lazy devil
i will always love you
i will always love you
go play
your lovely fiddle lusciously
while your crazy mother sings
she pours
post-atomic poetry all over you
all over me
post-atomic holy holy shit
go play
and spray-paint daddy
for he`s drunk and stoned and smelly
drooling visions from his butt
like a sweating bible-book
with a monkey
with a monkey
with a donkey
on his back
oh yeah
shoot from the hip
take a trip to hell
and back...
go play
i`ll pay
for the white lies you howled
at a yellow moon
in a very blue sky
too blue to be true
and a very far cry
from the love
from the kind of lusty love
we kill for
we spill our juice for
we want to sink our teeth in
right down
to the core
oh yeah
shoot from the hip
take a trip to hell
and back
heave on
lazy devil
oh yeah
shoot from the hip
take a trip to hell
and back
heave on
lazy devil
i will always love you
i will always love you
i will always love you

tomorrow
tomorrow never comes
what kind of a fool do they take me for
tomorrow
a resting place for bums
a trap set in the slums
but i know the score
i won`t take no for an answer
i was born to be a dancer now yeah
tomorrow
tomorrow as they say
another working day and another chore
tomorrow
an awful price to pay
i gave up yesterday and they still want more
they are bound to compare me
to Fred Astaire when i`m done yeah
anyone who feels the rythm moving through
knows it`s gonna do`em good to let the music burst out
when you feel it show it let the people know it
let your laughter loose until your scream becomes a loveshout
aahaaaahaaa
tomorrow
tomorrow`s far away
tomorrow as they say is reserved for dreams
tomorrow
tomorrow`s looking grey
a playground always locked
trains no winning teams
i won`t take no for an answer
i was born to be a dancer now yeah

p l e a s e d o n ` t m a k e m e h a p p y
live this life for me
live it out there in here
where i long to be
way out there and greedy
for the basic needs
tell me more about them
are they bitter or sweet
read this word to me
does it spell l.o.v.e
and the space between us
will it ever disappear
like you did before
like you always seem to do
when i ask you to
you say
please don`t make me happy
i don`t want to cry
i had all the tears i can
swallow in a while
sing a song to me
play one more and then some
singing is like breathing
purest freshest cleanest air
all the simple things
everybody out here knows what they are but you
you say
please don`t make me happy
i don`t want to cry
i had all the tears i can
swallow in a while
i am glad for you know what is good
and what is bad
what is a bore and what is fun and
happiness is so much more than
just a warm gun
yes it is!
yes it is!
yes it is!
here i go again
i will go much further than you will ever know
for you say
please don`t make me happy
i don`t want to cry
i had all the tears i can
swallow in a while
